KATY BOn A Mission (Sony)

HJOINING the new generation of music-makers alongside Jessie J and Tinie Tempah, 21 year-old Kathleen Brien kicks off her debut album with Power On Me and remains on a high-energy roll until finalé Hard To Get. With touches of house, dubstep, drum ‘n’ bass, rave, UK garage and R&B, Katy, who writes all her own songs, refuses to be pinned down. Singles Katy On A Mission and Lights On (featuring Ms Dynamite) stand out, but there’s enough to suggest household name status beckons. JD
