Meet Nina Nesbitt, 17 years old from Glasgow, still at school and just jamming at the weekends with a guitar? Not quite. Last year opened up three shows for Example, opened up for Ed Sheeran and she features in Ed’s latest video for his new single Drunk not only that but she is also a pro model as well (actually stunning).

As with many other up and coming talents Nina has recorded various covers on her YouTube channel but also has her Live Take EP out now, off which this song is from, Skeletons.

You can catch Nina at the following dates:

2nd Feb – Glasgow Beanscene (Woodlands Road) – Headline Show
1st May – Birmingham NAI – w/Example
3rd May – Belfast Odyssey Arena – w/Example
5th May – Leeds Millennium Square – w/Example
6th May – Oasis Leisure Centre, Swindon – w/Example

By mixing folk and indie in a modern way with Ellie Goulding influences scattered through her songs my ears are loving Nina’s sound.

Watch out girls, there’s a new girl in town.

ESTELLE – THANK YOU [MUSIC VIDEO]

A new offering from the UK’s Estelle. It must have been really hard as an artist to try and come off the back of a huge track like American Boy, I feel like she has struggled to get any other music out there that can be appreciated (just the feeling I get when I’ve heard her latest material) this track however, written by Akon, feels right. Pouring with soul and a relaxed warm feel, I really like the sound of this record.

Her new album, All Of Me is released in the UK on March 13th.

MY FAVOURITE RECORD IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW #41: REDLIGHT – GET OUT MY HEAD

My favourite record in the world right now (be it one day late) comes from a UK producer who I am loving at the moment. Last year he had a club smash featuring Ms Dynamite called What U Talkin About and in 2012 he returns with this AMAZING record Get Out My Head – the producer in question is called Redlight.

This will make you both dance, sing and make some funny faces, don’t believe me? Have a listen.

You can buy this now on iTunes if you love it as much as I do.
