A break from the usual as it's almost the end of the year. The next few blogs will look back at 2010, praising and panning those who deserve it. We start by looking forward, to next year, and the five artists worth getting really excited about. You get one a day for the next five...
Jamie Woon
In the loosest possible terms, Jamie Woon is a soul singer. But he's not about to do a Plan B and start offering out Marvin Gaye lite, no, Woon has his own take on the much mined genre. For his debut album, he's worked with king of dubstep Burial and his material has the same spacious grace that makes dubstep such a beloved sub genre. His debut single "Night Air" has the same delicious melancholia of Portishead and early Massive Attack, hauntingly beautiful and incredibly infectious. Hopefully his first record, due in March, will be full of more of the same.
