Kwabs
We can forgive this London singer for having a name that conjures up something most would rather forget as his voice has an unforgettable bass-heavy timbre to match his neo-electronic soul. Wow.
Woman’s Hour
The sophisti-soul revival is in full effect! Woman’s Hour are three boys and a girl from London pushing that sexy suave R&B sound but dressed like a post-punk polaroid.
Lorde
Not to be confused with the Finnish Eurovision-winning hard rockers Lordi, Lorde is a sixteen-year-old New Zealand singer-songwriter with an impressive debut EP of modern pop music.
Loud Mouth Volume 5
Dublin’s Loud Mouth Collective get prolific with the fifth installment of their compilation series featuring ambient, electronica, rap and dancefloor tracks. All free.
