There seems to be an abundance of talented young female singer-songwriters at the moment. We've had a few in recent years; Laura Marling, KT Tunstall, Amy Mcdonald, Lissie, Sandi Thom, Kate Nash , Imogen Heap, Lauren Pritchard etc...
...There is a new generation however, that includes the wonderful Gabrielle Aplin who found her Home EP spread like wild fire earlier in the year which lead to her being signed to Parlophone. Nina Nesbitt was recently added to the Radio 1 playlist after a strong showing by her Apple Tree EP and subsequently signed to Island Records. Then we have Orla Gartland whose latest single "The Devil On My Shoulder" is simply stunning. Finally, Lauren Aquilina is killing it on YouTube - having had over 1 million combined views of her work, not bad for a 16 year old school girl. They all clearly have bright futures and perhaps more importantly because they seem to want to help each other become a success, tweeting and spreading each others names. It will be interesting to follow how far each of them goes. Have a listen to their tracks below to get a feel for each of them...
