Lykke Li - I Follow Rivers

Sweden's top indie pop lady is just weeks away from releasing her much anticipated sophomore album Wounded Rhymes. I Follow Rivers is the second single and the video is beautifully shot. Li pursues her love across a cold wasteland in the video that is a must see.

Operator Please - Catapult (AUS)


I can't believe I failed to include the album Gloves on the list of my favorite albums of 2010. My bad, folks! This Aussie posse are incredibly talented and their sound rather unique. Get familiar.

Alexis Jordan - Good Girl (Freemasons Mix)

18 year old Alexis Jordan may be from the States, but most of her success so far has come from abroad. Her debut single Happiness was certified gold in Australia and has spent the past three months in the UK top 40. Now she's ready to unleash her next single Good Girl which is featured on her upcoming first album. The radio version is decent, but those talented Dj's The Freemasons crank it up on this particular mix.

Diagram Of The Heart - If I Were You (UK)

Here's some more new British talent on which to feast your ears. I've got to thank BBC Radio 1 presenter Fearne Cotton for putting me on to these guys. Diagram of The Heart is comprised of Kye Sones & Anthony Gorry. The electro duo will be releasing their debut single If I Were You this March.

Avril Lavigne - What The Hell


The princess of pop punk is back with her first single and album in quite a number years. The clip for What The Hell is trademark Avril and reminiscent of the Girlfriend video. Yes, there's a bit of product placement in the clip which seems to be the trend in the the biz, but at least the girl is hawking her own wares.

Matt & Kim - Cameras

The Brooklyn based duo came to the public's attention two years ago thanks to their happy-go-lucky song Daylight and it's whimsical music video. The clip for their single Cameras is less whimsy and more wrath. Matt and Kim go after each other in Kill Bill style and it's all kinds of awesome. Their new album Sidewalks is out now.
