Jamie T

Some artists seem destined for stardom; others seem suited to cultish embraces. Jamie T is an artist who should, by all rights, sit in the former category � the Wimbledon-born troubadour has the gift of the gab that saw him dubbed ��the male Lily Allen� and �a solo Libertine� around the time of his debut, �Panic Prevention�, and his first tour of Australia was stupendously well-received by the critics.




  Florence & The Machine
Lungs
Universal


The recent �Hottest 100 Of All Time� seems to indicate that although that J station plays plenty of female artists, the voting public does not recognise songs by female artists as sufficiently enduring to rate as their favourites. Buy Me A Pony was popular in its day but appears disposable now, Garbage is all but forgotten, The Grates and Ting Tings are well-loved but their music seems too pop to be considered, while Bjork has too many songs to choose from. Enter Florence & The Machine with the masterful �Lungs�; I�m not going to suggest that this album will make history but what she does well is write gigantic powerful songs to grab the listener and ensure that she�s not forgotten in a hurry.
