Tune: Ra Ra Riot - Boy

Too-cool-for-school Nylon Magazine first brought this lot to my attention and I promptly downloaded their single 'Can You Tell'. They have a really different, pop sound and the female strings duo add a great distinguished element to set these guys aside from other indie bands.

'Boy' has been on my playlist for a while now, and as a serious cat-lover I am a huge fan of the music video! Hoping for a possible UK/Ireland tour soon?

Tune: Ladyhawke - Black White & Blue

I have always dreamt that if I was famous and a successful, talented, singer-songwriter my music would be this lady's! Ladyhawke is just too effortlessly cool. I adored her first album (easily in my Top 10 ever) and after this beginning offering, I am very excited to hear the rest of her new one.

Also loving her slightly more glamourous look in the video (she famously only wears men's clothes!). I really hope this album gives Lady the mainstream success she deserves - she is well able to rival the other females in the pop/rock world!

Great to have her back...Team Ladyhawke!

Tune: Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - If I Had A Gun

Listening to this album makes me feel nostalgic for the mighty Oasis (hey, if it's not broke...) and Noel's solo effort is an incredible debut that is well worth a download. I really hope I can catch these guys live soon.

Arguably the more talented brother?

10/10 Getting bored of giving Perfect 10s - but I can't fault this song!

Tune: Bruno Mars - Talking To The Moon

I finally downloaded his album, and have become pretty obsessed pretty fast! This silky-voiced crooner has penned some beautiful gems. After much thought, my favourite is 'Talking To The Moon' which actually gives me goosebumps...

In short, this is just a lovely, romantic song!
