Gold Medal Position: Change – Nothing To Lose – L.A. Davis (London, UK)
But it is Davis voice than makes this stand apart from other pop prodigy’s. His soulful and gravely tones come as a welcome change (pun intended) from the chirping pop crooners that we currently are being presented with. Add to that a dual vocal that is grounded in the classical world and you have not only all the elements required of a current chart single but also enough innate quirkiness to appeal to the underground dance world as well. Effortlessly cool and brilliantly positioned just far enough off the beat to lead a whole new dance.

Bronze Medal Position: Night Visions – White Lilac (Swindon, UK)
Chiming electric guitars replace the acoustic strum of before and her voice suddenly seems framed by exactly the right musical surroundings.

Then the secret weapon is brought into play and a sonorous and sensual saxophone drifts by before the band rock out to a glistening crescendo.
