Alligator – Katy J Pearson
The title of this song and its alluring intro is enough to keep you fascinated even without hearing the addictive chorus or unique vocals of Bristol based Katy J Pearson. The singer’s fans are in for a treat this year, what with three singles already released from Katy – not to mention her summer/autumn tour.

Need U – Khmeii, Erameld
A combination of silky vocals and a calming instrumental that conjures up imagery of a late night drive is how I’d describe Need U by R&B songstress Khmeii and producer Erameld. Definitely worthy of a place in the charts.

Grace Ives is back with another bite-sized synth pop gem (as her songs are described by The Fader). It’s true that she can fit a great amount of energy and a number of different sounds into one song, and she certainly demonstrates this in Angel Of Business.

Happy Hour – Hollie Cook
Being so versatile, it’s hard to pinpoint the exact genre of West London born Hollie Cook’s music. She would however best describe her music as ‘tropical pop’ and I can definitely see this on her latest single Happy Hour, the title track of her upcoming album. The song embraces numerous instruments and showcases Cook’s high vocal range.

Heart Guitar – Mallrat
Pop success Mallrat can draw you in just by her immaculate vocals, but on her recent album Butterfly Blue she is providing some fantastic melodies too, even collaborating with rap star Azealia Banks. Heart Guitar in particular has a beautiful tune and atmosphere, not to mention the relatable heartfelt lyrics.
