The latest Brit to land on my radar is Ellie Goulding. Her debut album isn’t due until early 2010, but the 23-year-old has already made waves with the release of her first single, “Under the Sheets.” Last year she toured with Little Boots and won a Brit Award for critic’s choice, so I’m thinking 2010 should be gold for the velvet-voiced singer.
The song I have on repeat? The soft and airy gem called “Fighter Plane.” —Mishal Cazmi
