Tom Odell

How have I only just heard about this guy??

Tom Odell is a British singer/songwriter signed with Columbia Records. When asked, Columbia Records have said "Using his piano as his weapon of choice , each track rains down the pain second, by second." With an album due to be released next year, all we have, for now, is his recently released EP " The Songs From Another Love."  This 4 song collection is by no means upbeat, but rather an offering of pure heart ache and feeling.

Having supported Jake Bugg on his tour last month (November),  it is only a matter of time before Tom Odell starts to build up his own fan base. Dubbed as the next Jeff Buckley, Tom Odell has made the shortlist for both Brits Critics Choice and BBC sound of 2013.

Jake Bugg

Definitely one to watch!

Jake Bugg is an English singer/songwriter from Nottingham. He scored his first big break back in 2011 when he was chosen by the BBC to appear on their introducing stage at Glastonbury Music Festival, and was then given a contract with Mercury Records.

Jake's debut self titled album is due to be released on the 15th October.

This 18 year old boy with his mod haircut is certainly one to check out - his distinct and unique voice screams 'forget me not.' In a number of reviews Jake has been likened to Bob Dylan, and listening to him I really couldn't agree with this more. I am a huge fan of this guitar playing country/folk-esq guy and definitely feel he has the talent and potential to match the success of Ben Howard  and Ed Sheeran.

Check him out. It'll be worth it!
