Gemma Mewse

If Kate Nash and Lilly Allen had a baby it would be Gemma Mewse (although Gemma is 100 times better :-) This South London girl has already performed at the Royal Variety show and will even be performing at The Camden Crawl
By looking at her, you may be forgiven for thinking that she is just another Britney bubblegum pop idol but don't be fooled this 18 year old can not only sing, but actually writes her own songs too. In 2008 she teamed up with emerging producers/remixers 2Darc Productions and has been writing her own songs ever since. Her talent is very evident on her EP Grounded.
Numpty is a guitar driven anthem about a cheating boyfriend, what makes it sound unique is that she sings it in proper south London accent, so if you're from them sides you'll already know what Numpty means, but if not the song will explain it to you. Either way theres a very big chance that you've encountered a Numpty in your life.
Peer pressure is a very big song, you can imagine people going crazy to it at a festival and singing very loudly (and out of tune) to it, it has a very [Rihanna] Shut up and Drive feel to it, it's very rock meets pop.
Stranger things is a storytelling track and Outside is definately the stand out track on the EP. It's strangely addictive, once you hear it you will literally be hearing it in your head for a good week and singing it to yourself randomly like a crazy person.
The good thing about Gemma is that she's not trying to be American, fair enough we all like American music, but, it's refreshing to hear someone singing (well) in a British accent, because sometimes it can sound a bit contrived. She's not a rich kid trying to act like a 'commoner' and thats why we like her.
