MDS Sound of 2013
01 March, 2013 7:12 PM
More isn't always better and that's what I learnt from last year's poll. Sure, I managed to post about loads of exciting acts, 64, to be exact, but with time, you probably forgot most of them. I even forgot about them myself. Songstress Lana Del Rey topped the poll, with FOE, Kyla La Grange, Grimes and Lucy Rose placing 2nd to 5th respectively. So this time around, I've decided to feature 30 acts. You may be asking why 30? Just because I couldn't really decide which acts not to include, so I'll let you do that.
In case you are not familiar with the rules, the list features the most promising music acts for the coming year and
instead of me being the only pundit, you will be part of the decision by
casting your vote on your favourites! Featured acts must not have had an album by November 1st, 2012. There's also a bit of a rule change this year. Acts previously featured who failed to release anything the year they were nominated, can get a nod again. Don't expect the list to be full of repeats though.
So this is how the voting will work. In the next days, I'll post my Top 30 acts, that'd be a post for each act featuring it's music and my comments on them, and you'll be able to vote for them after all the acts are posted! There will be 2 voting stages. The first stage will feature all the 30 acts. You'll be able to pick 5 acts, so choose wisely. The poll will initially be open for two weeks (I may add a few more days if needed). Then, in the second stage, the Top 15 acts, that's the 15 acts with the most votes will be in a new poll in which the winner will be decided! ... Who will be the sound of 2013?!

VOTE after the jump ...
Since the BBC Sound of 2013 list will be revealed tomorrow, Monday 10th December, I'm posting my list ahead of theirs, just to avoid myself from copying their acts. Haha. Hope you like what you see, stay tuned for the individual posts and poll!

This may be out of the subject but are you going to post out you're thoughts on Melodifestivalen 2013?
