There’s a rnb/ pop sound to this girl, previously featured on a summer dance hit back in 2010. Still not much around about her but look forward to seeing where she ends up. Check out here.

New Music: Lonsdale Boys Club
I guess if Take That did indie then they would sound like these guys. As it happens, they’re signed to Gary Barlow’s record label so make what you will of that. Check out here.
New Music: Viper Creek Club
I really have no idea how to describe this music. I guess it’s electro. This song sounds best with some big speakers. Check out here.
New Music: Coco Morier
The work behind this newcomer is pretty mind blowing. We’re talking about input on this sound from Peter Bjorn and John, and Lykke Li and Miike Snow. That’s amazing. It’s the sort of beat that oozes coolness without trying at all. Check out here.
New Music: Left Boy
You’ll either love or hate this, give it a go and see. Check out here.
New Music: Project Alfie
My name is Alfie, this blog is called Alfitude and this amazing soul/ hip hop crossover band are called Project Alfie- but they aren’t connected. However, it makes me so happy to know that something that shares my name can be so awesome and brilliant. The epic, emotionally wrought track was released on the Universal Compilation R&B Collection 2012, which marked Project Alfie as the only unsigned act to be featured on the album. Following its release, it became the most downloaded track on the album during its first week on iTunes. Check out here.

Brooklyn-based artist Doe Paoro describes her music as “Ghost Soul,” characterized by a dolorous, ethereal sound that evokes the resurrection of “a choir of ghosts who haven’t completely detached from the human experience.” Check out here.
