Right now I think Sam Smith is the artist to watch out for, he has a real unique voice and a great tone.... I reckon he could make even an average song sound great just with just his voice!

I know she's not exactly new but Kitty Brucknell is one to watch! she's toured china this year and has just posted a new song on YouTube! kittybrucknell.com check out her website!

I've discovered so many new artists this year. I love it!

1. Lewis Watson
2. Gabrielle Aplin
3. Kodaline
4. HAIM
5. Tom Odell
6. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
7. Bastille
8. John Newman
9. Lauren Aquilina
10. London Grammar

Anyone heard this new singer named Banks from LA? I heard her on BBC 1. She has a laid back trip hop and alternative R&B sound. Really cool.

Here's her song This is What it Feels Like

Lorde, shes a breath of fresh air, loving this spate of southern hemisphere talent! Iggy azeyla and gotye (both aus) and lorde (new zealand) to name just three.
