{brilliant beats} middle of the bed by lucy rose

[dailymotion id=xh0x85]

If Feist had a singer-songwriter little sister, Lucy Rose would be it. I fell in love with her voice during her performance at Saturday's Bushstock music festival. It's the type of style, range, or whatever you call it that I'd want if I knew how to sing well. And had the balls to get up on stage.

It was hard to pick which video/song to share but this one for Middle Of The Bed is great because it features the full band. It starts off slow so if you can't wait to hear her sing, forward to 2:00 minutes and that'll do it. Enjoy!

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTa28a8QKo4] I love music and chances are that you do too. What I love even more is learning about brilliant new artists.

Since most of you guys (the awesome people who follow this blog) are in the States, I've decided to start sharing the beats and sounds from UK artists that are currently making my ears perk up.

For the first Brilliant Beats, I give you Michael Kiwanuka. I mentioned him in Monday's post and I still can't get his soulful voice out of my head. Also, this video looks like one fun day: flea market shopping, bicycle riding, cafe lounging, and carnival rides. Michael, can we hang out?
