This guy ain't benson Boone his music actually surprisingly pretty good. I want pinkpantheress to win BNA but he'd be a decent alternative.

Unless HITS is trolling, this is the second article from him in less than a week about his debut album due to be released later this month.

 

Quote

It's been obvious for some time that Warner's sombr is an exceptionally strong contender, if not a lock, for a Grammy Best New Artist nom. But with two confirmed smashes and a third track looking very big—and a new, full-length set expected before the Grammy deadline—could he also be in the running for Album of the Year?

 

It's likely to be a crowded field for AOTY, with a number of megastars in the mix. But it's hard to think of many BNA candidates also being in the Album conversation. Apart from (perhaps) Alex Warren and Leon Thomas, who has a shot? Sombr seems to be shattering a lot of expectations lately.

 

The 20-year-old artist-songwriter now has three hit songs—established biggies "back to friends" and "undressed" and new rocket "12 to 12"—zooming around the DSPs, and he's due to deliver an album later this month.

His team better have good promo and payola ready. It's what prince of pop deserves 

 

That's a smart move. His album will spend months in the Billboard 200 Top 10 considering the amount of hits he has currently.

I've been into the singles, I'm excited

Very excited for this. His recent singles run has been immaculate, I'm excited to hear a full length project. 

Cultural reset incoming! 

HDD is hyping him up a lot, if he gets an AOTY it would be major!

the we never dated erasure  

He's so good omg. I was shocked when I found out he's only 19

 

Great potential!

This would be the best thing to do. However, we should have gotten a pre-order, tracklist and etc. if it really were to come out this month, right?

Lets see what he brings to the table with this album. 

I fear Ava's 'Don't Click Play' might overshadow the release but really excited nonetheless.

 

He won me over with 'undressed' and '12 to 12'

Only 10 days away?  let's goooo

Idk but the cover and tracklisting give me SOUR formula vibes

They clearly rushed this out after BTF and Undressed blew up but I'm curious to see how it performs.
