James Bay, George The Poet and Years & Years have been nominated for the Critics’ Choice Award at the Brits.
The winner, who will succeed Sam Smith, will be announced on December 4. The shortlist was decided by a panel of music industry experts, with all three acts set to release debuts next year.
Bay said: “I still can't believe it. As much as I hoped, being nominated for the Brits Critics’ Choice Award is not something I ever imagined would actually happen. What a huge honour.”
George The Poet added: “I feel privileged to have been shortlisted for the Brits Critics’ Choice Award. I always dreamed of reaching people and this nomination shows me that I’m on track.”
Years & Years concluded: "Having grown up watching the Brits we're unbelievably honoured and to be honest quite overwhelmed to be included in the Critics’ Choice Award. We're so grateful to be making music and having this sort of recognition is crazy and ridiculous and nuts in a really good way. Thanks Brits!“
The Brits will be held at London’s O2 Arena on February 25.
