Press Play for 2012

As the new year is just around the corner, i thought i would let you all know of some stunning artists that appeared on many 'ones to watch' lists. Here are a few musical talents that you should listen to because i am predicting big things for them in 2012.

Conor Maynard

Although Conor is yet to release his first track, the millions of hits on Youtube are evidence as to why Conor will be big next year. His natural singing talent is clear and i personally love his version of Only Girl In The World and his beautiful take on Use Somebody. With every cover, he produces a new rendition of the song through duets, mash-ups and even sampling some original work and is currently working on his debut album. Gosh, his voice is so addictive.

Listen to: Only Girl (In The World) // Use Somebody

Delilah

I first heard Delilah when she was featured on Chase and Status' track Time and i was instantly mesmerised by her pure yet very powerful voice. When her debut single was released i was similarly captivated by Delilah's voice and the unique trance beats that were rumbling underneath. Now that the equally brilliant track 'Love You So' has been released (accompanied by a great animalistic video, inspired by the tribalistic beats within the song) i cannot wait to see what Delilah's album has to offer.

Listen to: Love You So // Go

King Charles

Here is a prime example of why you don't judge a book by it's cover. Although the quite alternative writing style of this artist matches his kooky style, don't be decieved by his eccentric video as King Charles won the International Songwriting Competition in 2010. Oh yes. His debut single, Bam Bam, has a driving beat that is great for a feel good track to jump around to. It's definitely a song that will be stuck in your head all day. I love his wackiness.

Listen to: Bam Bam

Also, have a listen to Josh Osho's wonderful rendition of Jesus Walks here because it is just stunning.
