A good year for female artists...

A strong year for female artists / Brit Award nominees 2010 / Awards @ Earls Court, 16/2/10

BAT FOR LASHES – Nominated, Best British Female solo artist. Alternative.
Likened to a new Kate Bush, indeed she will probably be with us for many years to come making ground making music while other female artists fall away. Our dear Kate was always underestimated for so many years, Natasha Khan could suffer the same fate, but hopefully the UK listening public can see true quality and give praise when it’s due.

FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE – Nominated, Best female solo artist. Pop/Alternative/Indie
Flame haired siren, whose mission is to storm America - she’ll probably do it. ‘Kiss With A Fist’ (’08) brought her to the UK music press attention. A demure female artist with attitude? Too freakin’ right!

LILY ALLEN – Nominated, Best female solo artist. Pop/Other
LDN lifted her off into orbit. Sharp wit and a refreshing ‘say it as it is’ attitude our Lily’s been proof that you can kick back in rebellion and still be commercially viable.
