The Southampton-born singer already has a devoted fanbase, dubbed " Slaysers" and made headlines after
Baser is joined by Cmat - dubbed " Ireland's answer to Dolly Parton" by The NME thanks to her whip-smart, emotionally-revealing country-pop songs.
There's also a strong showing for British soul and R& B, led by Oxford-born Stevie Wonder fanatic Elmiene.
The 22-year-old had a breakout moment in 2021, when his song Golden was chosen to soundtrack Virgil Abloh 's final show for Louis Vuitton .
The Show took place just Two Days after Abloh's tragic death, and Elmiene's mournful, nostalgic ballad seemed to be a tribute to The late fashion designer.
