| ALPHABEAT Since their first UK show at the start of 2007 Denmark's twelve-legged pop machine have been 'wowing' (playing songs in front of) audiences all over the show. There are only five of them in this picture because the sixth was off having his hair done. More info and a video to watch... LEON JEAN MARIE Debut single 'Bed Of Nails' (which, fact fans, is produced by Mark Ronson) is just the tip of Leon's magnificent pop iceberg. More info and a video to watch... FRANKMUSIK Infuriatingly talented Vincent Frank is a one-man pop powerhouse: artist, producer, songwriter and label boss. Recently signed to Island Records, this 22-year-old star in waiting celebrates all that's brilliant about the burgeoning electronic pop circuit, chucks out the new rave cliches and rolls what's left into an irrersistible ball of modern pop mayhem. (His gran is his stylist.) More info and a video to watch... POPJUSTICE DJs Established in 2000, Popjustice is a quite good website which spends its time banging on about pop music. The diversity and uncompromisingly artistic mainstream appeal of Alphabeat, Leon and Frankmusik brilliantly brings to life Popjustice's championing of innovative, forward-thinking pop. Although the addition of Girls Aloud would have been nice. Visit Popjustice... |
