Seeing as she's only emerging on the scene, Wikipedia doesn't seem to have a page for her just yet so I took some info from Digital Spy's Ones To Watch in 2012, the article in which can be found HERE! (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/thesound/a356339/digital-spys-ones-to-watch-2012.html)

After releasing her first album independently at 14 years old, Charli XCX caused quite the stir online earlier this year with her underground hit 'Stay Away' and follow-up single 'Nuclear Seasons'. Having supported the likes of Peaches and Robyn earlier this year and already championed by Radio 1 and MTV, the 19-year-old is poised for success in 2012.

She reminds me of Marina Diamandis, her sound apparently being dubbed 'electro-goth pop'. I only just recently discovered her. She's amazing!

Everything about this girl sounds retro 80's, so she's got her head in the right place. Think I'll bite on this one.

^^ I didn't think of that but yes, you could say she takes inspiration from 80s synth pop.
Not to the extent of La Roux, however. You could say she's keeping it retro, whilst also keeping it current and with music trends. Not that La Roux isn't awesome.

:D

La Roux? I haven't thought of her at all.

Soras ~ I moved your post here to keep the topic going. ;)

It is a collaboration between Elly Jackson and Ben Langmaid, with Elly being the star and voice of La Roux. Their sound is synth-pop and very 80s inspired.

These are some of their tracks, if you haven't heard them already....

Topic slipped to page 3 while Gaga(g) and Spears remain the main topics.

Just what the hell is wrong with you people?!?
