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.

Another artist referencing classic R& B records of The 1960s and 70s is Olivia Dean .

Finally, Dance Music continues its post-pandemic renaissance, with some assistance from Kenya Grace, The South African-born British singer who scored a Number One hit with a song she started in her bedroom.
That track was Strangers - a sinuous drum and bass anthem about disposable dating. Her follow-up single, Paris, has just been " tune of The weekend" on Radio 1 .
Korean-born, Berlin-based DJ Peggy Gou completes The 2024 longlist, seven years after releasing her debut single, Day Without Yesterday.
