The list includes Mabel, the Stockholm-born daughter of Neneh Cherry and Massive Attack producer Cameron McVey (who has already attracted media coverage around her debut single ‘Know Me Better’) and Jack Garratt, confirmed last week as the winner of the 2016 Critics’ Choice BRIT Award.

Completing the longlist are rap and grime prospects Section Boyz, WSTRN, Loyle Carner and J Hus; indie rock act Ratboy; electronic producer Muru Masa; Anglo-Kosovan pop artist Dua Lipa; and London singer NAO, who a has a degree in jazz from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama.
