Cate Le Bon likes dancing...a lot. In her video 'Wonderful', she basically performed some crazy dance meets aerobics moves exerting a lot of energy. For he latest video 'Love Is Not Love', she has enlisted a team of awkward dancers who kind of prances around the stage busting a few "non-traditional" choreographed routines. With that being said, it is Cate Le Bon's imperfections which makes her visuals picture perfect.
After releasing the haunting title track to her debut EP 'Fair', Welsh vocalist Betsy makes a strong comeback with her new single 'Time'. Led by foot-stomping, call and response-style drums, Betsy unleashes a striking command of vocals that ring with a folk/jazz sensibility. Her EP 'Fair' is out via Warner Brothers / Columbia Records. You can stream 'Time' down at the bottom.
So let's be clear, Cate Le Bon's song 'Wonderful' is indeed just that, in all it's quirk. Now in terms of the video, there really isn't much happening with the exception of Le Bon jumping up and down, as well as running in place. Imagine a fitness video with really cool music. The song is taken from Cate Le Bon's forthcoming LP 'Crab Day', with the video directed by Casey Raymond.

Ellie James has a bright future, the kind of luminous beam that typically transfers into certified stardom. This assessment would appear to be a mere understatement, considering that the Welsh singer, songwriter and guitarist, who records under the moniker of Ellie Makes Music, has already been awarded the title of Artist of the Week on BBC Radio Wales, not to mention has garnished airplay on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 6. With an organic sound that combines folk, pop and alternative, the sincerity of her music maintains a certain value built for the long haul rather than the 'hot act of the minute'.
