Sing, Britain

Another favorite fun of music journalists (except for the results of the year ) is to predict a great future in the new year to young groups. The most famous forecast makes BBC - “ Sound of 2014” , and then they reprint everything from it. An interesting (and independent) selection of young British groups with a brilliant perspective was made by the podcast The Selector , which, on the assignment of British Council, promotes the music of the United Kingdom around the world:

We will take a closer look at 10 artists who got there.

1.

Rock Duet from Brighton, for a contract with which, they say, there was a small fight between Major Laiblah. The contract went to Parlophone , which means that it will be difficult to hide from the songs of this group in 2014. Another one hundred percent omen is that in the New Year the Brightons will be fine: Arctic drummer Monkeys Matt Helders performs at concerts in a T -shirt with Logo Royal Blood . This is because it is Arctic Management Monkeys sculpts from Royal Blood "Powerful Rock Duet since White Stripes ”, well, and a pier drive that comes from Royal songs Blood , must first delight the drummers:

2.

According to the imprisonment of the HYPE resource Machine , the London alt-Cro-quartet, in the portfolio of which one single and one Ipishka, became in 2013 the “most discussed group of the United Kingdom discussed in music blogs”. Last year, the charming vocalist Ellie Roseell decorated the NME special issue cover " Young Britannia ” , dedicated to promising debutants-she was in the foreground, along with Jake Bagg, who can already be considered a rock star. The British compare Wolf songs ALICE with Elastica and other brit-pop-you can also hear the muddy hysteria of the grunge and alt-rok of the 90s, primarily Garbage . Is history repeated twenty years later?

Another group that was fine in the last year, but this does not mean that there will be no better further. In 2013, TemPles , which are a British answer to the TAME group IMPALA , performed on the warm -up of Mystery Jets , Kasabian and even Rolling Stones . In February, the quartet, which loved Noel Gallaher, should release the debut album “ Sun Structures ” , around which the agitation has been recorded from the end of last year, because ... Well, you just look at the vocalist of the group, as if emerging from the test tube, where Mark Bolan and Roger Dolri crossed the genetic material. Welcome in 1969:

The blue-eyed emo-pop from the singer and the author of the songs of James Page is remarkable (firstly) by the pleasant timbre of James, touchingly trembling like an autumn leaf in the wind, and (secondly) skilled soundproaches of Charlie Andrew, who worked on the breakthrough debut of the Alt - J . Andrew turns the compassionate piano ballads Sivu into something more multidimensional:

5.

If you are a real expert on young British music, then you could previously know the singer Lyle Foy under the nickname Wall . At least, the authoritative PitchFork site is closely following it from the single, released under this pseudonym. Now that her debut album of delicate girlish songs comes out on the famous Suber Indian POP and under her own name, PitchFork editors are simply required to respond to every movement of the liles, which (again) is read to the new Kate Bush.

As a selection shows The Selector , in order to be a promising debutant in 2014, it is necessary that your music be thoroughly infected with the retro virus and reminds of the glorious sixties, seventies or nineties. Manchester rock band Findlay in its last hit " Greasy Love " directly refers to the rock stand-stand " Don ' t Let Me Be Misunderstood , which was performed by Animals and Joe Cocker. However, what is nice, their sound does not flirt with that era and sounds fresh - I must say thanks to the eminent Flood producer who worked with Depeche Mode and Pi Jay Harvey. Pop-blinker " Greasy Love " guarantees Findlay , reminiscent of White Stripes , Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen, hot tour of 2014.

7.

The London project Jungle skillfully intrigued the audience in 2013-hid the origin and shot a viral video that collected hundreds of thousands of views on the Internet. The videos were how simple, so irresistible: under the languid melted jungle steam Exceptional virtuosos were dancing in the frame-a 6-year-old Breikdancer and Duet Roller in green tracksuits. Then Jungle opened their faces, arranging a series of premiere concerts - it turned out that, despite the aphrocentrism of Jungle music, it is made by white musicians who subtly feel black drive and melody.

8.

The 19-year-old London talent, the singer and producer, whose pseudonym must be pronounced “Em-En-I-Kay,” is far from the debutant. His portfolio includes a set of large British radiochites for the rapper Tino Temp and the girl group The Saturdays . He is preparing for a trip to the Grahammy, where he can give him a prize for complicity in the authorship of another British radiochite - Duke Dumont “Need U (100%)” . Readers of a fun and resourceful PopJustice website believe that MNEK will save in 2014 pop music. Perhaps if he himself writes the same amazing songs as this cover on Janet Jackson:

A girl with a porcelain face and porcelain voice attracted attention to the song “Papi Pacific” , which reaches almost the same degree of eroticism as the famous half -forced video of the Erotica Madonna. Nothing like that, however, in the FKA video Twigs is not-the crossing of the hands in the feet, a lot of black and sparkles. Erotic stress comes from the resonating voice of the waist Barnett , who sings like Janet Jackson away at Massive Attack , and her unblinking puppet look. The debut album of a 25-year-old singer and dancer having the Jamaican roots will publish Young Lebble Turks , so she has every chance to repeat the success of the most famous group from their Roster - The XX .

10.

Sam Smith is the leader of the BBC list " Sound of 2014 " . You could hear its fine -winged fold in two large summer hits last year - Disclosure " Latch " and Naughty Boy “ La La LA ” - and take for a female voice. The 21-year-old singer and the author of the songs sings as high and sweet as only men can-like Jimmy Somerville, the battle George and Anthony Hegarty. For this, he has already received the Brit Award Awards 2014 (the presentation of which will be held in February) in the nomination “Choice of Critics”. His debut album “ In the Lonely Hour” is only preparing for the exit in May on Capitol , but in the air it has already smells with great money, and Sam Smith is justified in the last video, which, they say, is not for money, but only for love: only for love:
