This week I've mostly been listening to..

Scouting for Girls - Nice guys 'Scouting for Girls' not only have a great philosophy but have some really top tunes too. Particular favourite, 'It's not about you' originally struck me as a bit Emo, but now has become a real scream along-song! I'm hooked.

Swedish band Oh Laura - fronted by vocalist Frida Ohrn never fails to move me every time I hear 'Release Me'. The song was recently featured on a Saab advert & credit to their marketing team as it's hard not to be drawn in by those haunting vocals. The remaining featured tracks are somewhat more middle-of-the-road, with strong Sheryl Crow influences, but I'm still hotly anticipating the album.

Kate Nash, the hotly tipped chum of Lily Allen - If this 19 year old can keep banging out singles as good as 'Foundations' I think she could go on to have a lot more longevity than Lily. She's from my neck of the woods in Harrow, and although the similar vocal style and song content will draw obvious comparisons with Lily, musically I think she's already a few steps ahead.
