Later last year, she was shortlisted as one of the acts on the BBC Sound of...2018 long list and it was announced that she won on January 12. She was interviewed by Mark Savage, where she mentioned that her debut album is slated to be released this year when she was asked how close is she to finish it. "The thing is, I want to be a bit secretive about it, if that's alright? It's important to me that when I release it, I'm going to release it because it's finished. Not because it's expected to be out. But I'm aiming for 2018. It's very exciting!" You could read the interview here or in the link of the tweet below. |

^ Good thing she won, I was really really feeling that she would eventually get the 1st place in the BBC Sound of 2018 !
Now I'm rooting for Strangers to take off, that song deserves to SMASH HARD.
Don't Kill My Vibe was great too. I hope that all of this will help her with her commercial break-out.

Unfortunately, I had to skip her set at Coachella. I could only check out one girl who is trying to be a pop star and I chose Haley Cuoko but I think I should at least check out her music.

Her second EP Raw, which includes her latest single "High Five", is finally out. Seriously, this is one of the worst roll outs ever in my opinion and I still don't get what Island was thinking of dropping a song each month since March. :facepalm: |

Ooooo, I hope this single is good. I liked High Five but as a whole the ep didn't make that much of a great impression on me.

I like Sucker Punch. The chorus kind of sounds like a Jordin Sparks or Saturdays song, but it's still a bop.

A non-acoustic version? 👀 The pre-order, which is gone now, only mentioned "Dynamite" without the acoustic part. However, the length was the same as the acoustic version on her debut EP, which coincidentally (that acoustic part) has been removed on Spotify, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

She's pretty much my favorite right now so I'm so excited about this. However, the choice of pre-released tracks is bizarre. I like how there aren't any songs from the 'Raw' ep cause she had said it would be an entirely separate release. However... Three 2017 songs (two of them being her biggest hits) over new unreleased material?

I don't think the inclusion of "Don't Kill My Vibe" and "Strangers" are bizarre, but "Dynamite" definitely is. I guess Sigrid likes this song so much, so she decided to include it on her album. Personally, I would have preferred "Plot Twist" over this if the acoustic version is the album/final version to be honest.

The iTunes preview in Australia confirms that "Dynamite" is the same version we've already heard. </3

I've realized that I didn't post the announcement she made for the album. :facepalm: Either way, I guess she's going to edit this (or make a new post) because her debut album has been pushed back a week to March 8. |

Has gotten massive reviews from websites or magazines like NME, Stereogum or The Independent. I'm truly blown away.
It's currently out in Greece. Can't wait for my first listen!

A pretty solid album! I liked everything except "Level Up" and "Dynamite," and even they are decent.
"Never Mine" is the star of the album!

“Never Mine” has to be my new favorite song of all time. Obsessed.
I guess they’re going with “Basic” as the next single? That and “Mine Right Now” seem like the safest or most obvious picks.

Saw this got a solid 81 on Metacritic. I need to check this out...praying that she could have another hit. "Strangers" still sounds incredibly fresh.
