"
I really love Frank Ocean's work," De Backer said when asked about
artists who have inspired him this year. "I think
his mixtape and his album are fantastic, he's got an incredible voice and he's a really interesting songwriter.
On the more pop end of the spectrum, the first time I heard Taylor Swift's 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' I thought it was one of the most killer pop songs I've ever heard, so yeah, there are a bunch of great songs and bands and to be nominated amongst, and
someone like Bjork in the alternative album category is quite a [head-]spinner, she's an incredible artist. Very adventurous, very forward-thinking, it's very flattering, really."
