Emma Louise: Lilac Everything
On White....Huh? This is album from late last year. She has definitely found her voice with this album and she has called it Joseph. Her entire vocals on this album are pitched down from her usual falsetto range to a more manly range and it works so well. There is a beautiful mix of light and shade on this album and I was getting some down tempo Nick Hakim vibes on one track then she lets off some Flaming Lips/David Byrne hybrid firecracker on the next. Would spin again and again and again.

Angie McMahon: Salt
On Blue...WTF?. Angie is a powerhouse and this is her damn fine, solid debut. I guess you could compare her vocals to Florence Welch but more smokey, laid back and restrained, She pens a pretty tune steeped in raw emotion that’s punctuated with rock, pop and blues. This could be the start of something big.
