Here are some artists which show considerable talent and stand a real good chance of arriving on the music scene with a bang. No doubt some (or many) will fall flat on their face. Keep your eyes and ears open for the following acts.
1) The Big Pink - A London trio using gritty beats, droning guitars, abstract effects and dreamy vocals. Their album could prove to be very interesting if single, Too Young to Love is anything to go by.
2) Empire of the Sun - This Australian duo mix soft pop synthesisers with laid back beats.
3) Kid Cudi - Could be the latest in a long line of American hip-hop artists.
4) Little Boots - Another British act who could be a British version of Kylie continuing the futuristic pop sound firmly accompanied by her tenorion, different if nothing else!
5) Passion Pit - Another electronic band whose songs and lyrics seem cheery enough to light up the darkest of days.
6) Dan Black - This London born singer uses samples and beats instead of guitars and has made a big impact reworking already classic songs! Definitely one to watch here. Mark Ronson move over!
7) Florence and the Machine - A new eccentric in the same style as Kate Bush, Bjork or P J Harvey. Her debut album will certainly be eagerly anticipated.
8) La Roux - Another colorful London based synth-duo who apparently only listen to 80s music. Time to turn back the clock they say. Bring it on I say!
9) Master Shortie - The next star of British hip-hop? That's what many seem to believe. This could be better than the usual British attempts at hip-hop as his music seems to be influenced heavily by indie music.
10) The Temper Trap - An Australian Quartet using pulsating rhythms, yearning vocals, grand guitars, and produced by Jim Abbiss (Arctic Monkeys and Adele).
11) VV Brown - VV Brown is a 24-year-old modern-day doyen of doo-wop, giving the sound of vintage girl groups a 21st Century twist with a quirky, savvy, squeaky sheen.
12) Frankmusik - Dance singer, remixer and all-round whizz-kid Vincent Frank creates high-energy robopop in which fast neon beats jump out of '80s-tinged tunes.
13) Lady GaGa - Making an impact in the US for a while now as a songwriter for modern pop / dance acts, this could be the year she finally breaks out on her own.
14) Mumford and Sons - Rooted firmly in the folk seen of London their music also has a country tinge to it along with four part harmonies. A very promising debut album if their live acts are anything to go by.
15) White Lies - These moody London rockers can expect to be compared to the likes of The Killers and Editors, with epic vocals and dark, swirling guitars, plus a synthesiser giving them a pop sheen.
