So this isn’t so new but I thought it worth sharing for those who haven’t heard it yet. Fun are releasing their new track ‘Some Nights’ released today.

This is a prime example of perfect pop.

The second act from our female pop day are called Nina Sky and are made up of twins Natalie & Nicole Albino. They have already featured in Major Lazer’s track ‘Keep It Goin’ Louder’.

Don’t get me wrong a lot of people will already know about these girls but we thought it was worth a blog for all of those who don’t. They have also recently done a song with uber cool producers ‘Creep’

Today is a day for female and pop and we have two great pop acts to post about. We never really remember how we come across music, it is usually just finding a website and linking to about 4 more from there until we find something awesome and that happened this morning.

The first act we want to feature is Nola Darling. We have been told that they hail from L.A., New York City and Miami by way of Haiti and St. Lucia, we’re not quite sure how possible this is but we believe them. Their music is a blend of Afrobeat, Haitian folkloric rhythms, Reggae, Soul, House and Jazz and they have recently been working with Kwame (Mary J Blige, Christina Aguilera, Missy Elliot). There is going to be a lot more to come from these two girls.

There are a lot of great acts coming out of New York at the moment but rather than sit and name them all I just want to draw attention to one….Caveman. With a debut album already under their belts and having recently signed to Fat Possum I see this band really shining in 2012. Their harmonies will lead to comparisons to the likes of Local Natives but it is their tribal drumming and their ability to really build a song that sets them apart.

There are very few times I come across a band who I am just automatically drawn to, in fact it hasn’t happened since Mumford and Sons back in 2008. I can’t even remember where I first heard them I just remember thinking how awesome the music was and being very excited indeed.

Post Gospel Blues and Church Bells are brilliant songs and I wondered what they were going to write to top this but having heard some of the other tracks they have recorded there is nothing to worry about, we are all in for a treat.

Woman’s Hour have been around for a little while now and are now gathering some pace off the back of their debut single Jenni. A band that obviously have many influences but manage to skirt round the edges of sounding too much like any of them (which is a great compliment coming from us). We are still to catch them live but with two London shows within the next week we will be there with bells on.

They play Old Blue Last on 4th January and MacBeth on 10th January

Phlo Finister is an 18 year old artist from LA. We recently came across her cover of Nancy Sinatra’s ‘Bang Bang’ with a little bit of Mobb Shock prodution thrown in for good measure. She has a spectacular voice and a great style, as you can see from the below video.

Since then she has gone on to do some more covers including a wonderfully haunting version of The Doors’ ‘Riders on the Storm’. I think there is a lot to come from this young girl. Check out some more tracks below which make up an EP called ‘Crown Gold’
