The last part, finally! RoxThe new… Amy WinehouseI’m still slightly unsure if Rox is a girl or a band, but I’m fairly Rox is the name of the girl who sings My Baby Left Me and other similar but not quite as good songs. That’s no criticism, by the way – My Baby Left Me… Continue reading The Next Big Thing: an A-Z of 2010 – Part 6

MuchuuThe new… Slow ClubI’ve decided Muchuu are the indie Same Difference. They’re a young, attractive brother and sister duo, brown and blonde-haired respectively, and they’re just as adorably cute as their ace brand of indie-pop music. Milky’s vocals remind me a little of Ellie Goulding, but they succeed in being cute where Ellie’s are only… Continue reading The Next Big Thing: an A-Z of 2010 – Part 5

I don’t have as much time to blog as usual at the moment, but I do usually find the time to tweet approximately 10 million times a day. So I thought I’d start a new feature where each Sunday I pick five poptastic tweets from the past week, to keep you updated on what I’ve… Continue reading Tweets of the Week

IyazThe new… Sean KingstonWell, here’s a prediction that’s already come true! I came across Iyaz and his now no.1 single Replay a few months ago and instantly knew it would be a hit, for the simple reason that I loved it despite being quite sure that I should hate it. I’ve had the same feeling… Continue reading The Next Big Thing: an A-Z of 2010 – Part 4

ExampleThe new… FrankmusikExample may be a white rapper, but luckily he is not quite annoying enough to be considered the British Eminem. In fact, his music could hardly be classed as hip-hop – it’s just dance music with Example providing the singing and rapping. As such he’s quite an interesting prospect, especially considering the recent… Continue reading The Next Big Thing: an A-Z of 2010 – Part 3

I wrote this yesterday for another site and thought I’d post it here as well, as it’s rather topical at the moment… January is generally a very dull month for music fans, with few new releases and a distinct lack of gigs worth attending, but there is one reason why I always look forward to… Continue reading Thoughts on ‘the next big thing’

Daisy Dares YouThe new… Pixie LottIf you’re a regular reader of my blogs you’ll certainly be aware of young Daisy Coburn, the Essex teenager everyone was scrambling to sign in early 2009. After a year of preparation, she’s about to finally release a single, and since a) it is brilliant and b) it has Chipmunk… Continue reading The Next Big Thing: an A-Z of 2010 – Part 2

Adiam DymottThe new… Lykke LiAdiam Dymott was one of my absolute favourite musical discoveries of 2009, and I’m really hoping that she will be discovered and loved by many more pop fans in 2010. She hasn’t attracted much attention outside Sweden, but she has got herself a UK record deal, so hopefully we’ll actually see… Continue reading The Next Big Thing: an A-Z of 2010 – Part 1
