R�is�n Murphy "Overpowered"Timeless and intelligent dance pop by a top-notch performer. Bring on more R�is�n in 2008 please!

Siobhan Donaghy "Ghosts" Donaghy broke out of her girl group mold and pushed her artistic boundaries in exciting new directions. "Ghosts" is one of the most overlooked, yet sublime pop records of the year.

Charlotte Gainsbourg "5.55"Subtle, soft and chic. It is like Chanel No. 5 for your ears.

Darren Hayes "This Delicate Thing We've Made""This Delicate Thing We've Made" is just that. A delicate piece of work that takes you on a journey through time with Hayes' distinct vocals and Justin Shave's accomplished production stylings.

� Kenna "Make Sure They See My Face"Genre-buster Kenna combines electronica, funk, pop and hip hop so elegantly that it rocks.

� Will.I.Am "Songs About Girls"A bold solo record by one of the most genius producers of the moment.

Anouk "Who's Your Momma"Confident and honest, this rock chick tells it like it is. Expect "Good God" to climb the global charts in 2008.

Passenger "Wicked Man's Rest"Touching balladry sang by one of the year's most striking new voices.

Tracey Thorn "Out Of The Wood"A perfect marriage of style and substance. And her voice is priceless.

Roz Bell "The First Sunbeams"Bell combines songwriting talent with a laid-back attitude that is simply irresistible.

Klaxons "Myths Of The Near Future"These three lads got me dizzy on my feet when I saw them perform at Coachella back in April. This is rock and roll for the here and now.
