The K-Pop stans are mad, but Olivia Dean winning Best New Artist is a victory for real musicianship. She writes her own songs, plays her own instruments, and has a voice like velvet. In an era of manufactured viral stars, rewarding a soulful British singer-songwriter feels incredibly grounded. If you haven't heard 'Messy' or her debut album yet, go listen. She is the real deal, not just a product of a label machine.
