Hots picks/acts for this year (mostly stolen from BBC'S sound of 2011)
Jessie J - the urban girl with attitude/ the British Nicki Minaj - for people that love cliches and stage presence
Natalia Kills - the girl that isn't like GAGA at all - sharing Gaga's label and some of the same media spiel about music being art blah blah blah... though if you ignore the pretension there is some good pop to be heard.
James Blake - the silent electro kid - the act with the credentials the classically trained pianist at Goldsmiths University and the difference to other acts that could make him stand out. The difference being his love of silence and minimalism. - Seriously Good
Jai Paul - the funky cool one - Possibly my favorite act out of the four a vocal coloured with soul funk electro than a heavy bass line - On first hearing this track i didn't know where it was going which for modern pop music is a real relief. An experimental musician without the pretension - LISTEN NOW!!!!
P.s. Listen to this for a haunting/unintentionally hilarious/ strange remix of Casta from the opera Norma and Beyonce's Diva - AMAZING!!
