 The most hotly anticipated album release of this New Year comes not from someone rammed into the collective consciousness by their media ubiquity. Duffy is an unknown quantity at this point, having performed but a small number of gigs, mostly in support of The Magic Numbers, and having only just begun to be seen on TV, most notably with recent appearances on BBC1's Later with Jools Holland.
Duffy's debut album, Rockferry, is out now. |

 The opening "oohs" of "We Are One", the title track from her debut album, stop you dead in your tracks. Hushed and hymn-like, Sweet's voice creates a lush world of beauty. Fittingly, the song's lyrics urge listeners to take comfort in the community of all souls. "I am you, you are me, we are one," Sweet sings in her supernaturally crystalline voice. Simple words imbued with the uncommon wisdom of a singer who seems to have lived a thousand lifetimes in her short time on earth.
We Are One is the debut album of 18-year-old singer Kelly Sweet. |

 40 years after the Summer of Love, MGMT (Andrew Vanwyngarden and Ben Goldwasser) is celebrating the grand re-opening of the third eye of the world with Oracular Spectacular, the duo's much anticipated first full-length album, an enigmatic and prophetic collection of hallucinatory sounds and hook-riddled pop tones for the new millennium. |

 Scouting For Girls released It's Not About You EP back in June 2007 and it became the first limited edition EP to chart in the UK history. After a series of successful singles, and becoming the new British indie-pop sensations, Scouting For Girls released their self-titled debut album and went to #1 in UK last September. |
