more to come in 2011...

MARIE AMELIE - DANS UN VERTIGE

if i was pushed to choose one album of 2010, this would be it. i just totally fell in love it. read my review of it here). even after hundreds of plays, hearing the opening bars of on se regardait, i still get goosebumps. she deserves huge success in 2011

MARIE ESPINOSA - LA DEMARRANTE

to say this was one of my albums of the year is an understatement- i fucking love it! its eclectic mix of styles allow marie to showcase her wonderful voice and personality.

ELLIE GOULDING - LIGHTS/BRIGHT LIGHTS

with her nu-folk electro edge, ellie brought some great tunes into 2010. i saw her live at the beginning of year and she was amazing. 'lights' was reissued last month with 6 extra tracks on so go and buy it! watch her acoustic version of the midlake song 'roscoe':

ALIZEE - UN ENFANT DU SIECLE

i am pretty sure i am the only person who liked this album! it's not an album full of individual songs, it's more of a concept album - thematically it's edie sedgwick lost in space and it needs to be listened to all in one go -very loudly so it envelopes you with it's electro spacedust grooves.

ROBYN - BODY TALK (parts 1,2 & 3)

nothing for ages then 3 albums all one year, robyns brand of brashy electro pop got me out of my seat, dancing like a robot boy.

HURTS - HAPPINESS

their moody synth pop brought new levels of melancholy to pop. i love it
here is their cover of the kylie classic 'confide in me'
