Song 188 - Strangers by Sigrid

This is probably going to be one of the tracks of 2018, Strangers by Sigrid. To be honest, the song is still growing on me, but I like the idea of watching new artists and listen to them develop. Sigrid was named as BBC Music Sound of 2018, about 10 days ago, and since then I've listened to her being interviewed by a variety of people.

Coming from Norway, she started hitting our airways in 2017 when she had had first breakthrough hit, Don't Kill my vibe, and with the backing of BBC music, who knows where her music will take her this year. When interviewed by Graham Norton, she said that Adele had been an influence on her (Adele herself won BBC sound of 2008, beating Duffy to the Title) and that the chorus to Rolling in the Deep has inspired her to become an artist.

I think for Jules' Jukebox, I'll be keeping my ears out for her new releases as there is something about her sound that makes me believe she might just become as established in the music industry as Adele has been.  I've also listened to her track, Plot Twist and I'm looking forward to hearing more.
