The day has arrived! In a year that sees our website celebrating the 10th Anniversary of its existence, it brings even more excitement for our Team to announce this year’s winners of the Bluebird Reviews Awards.
This year has been a highly prolific one for many artists, with many of them releasing perhaps the best albums of their careers so far. This aspect made even more difficult for our International panel of media experts (TV Hosts, Radio DJs, Label Owners, Music Press) coming from 5 different countries (United Kingdom, United States, Denmark, Italy and Spain) to decide who was the worth winner for each category.
Moreover, given that 2017 has got a special significance for our website, we have decided to create as well a one-off Award for Lifetime Music Achievement to an artist that has made a special impact to the history of music in the last half a century.
Without any further ado, here come the 2017 winners of the Bluebird Reviews Awards:
