21st Century Songwriters

It's the songwriters who have come to the fore in the past 20 years – those writing the classics the world will still be singing decades from now. From Beyonce to Billie Eilish.

Tonight we are after the songwriters who have come to the fore in the past 20 years – those who are writing the classics the world will still be singing in decades to come.
