So we've reached the quarterly period of the year

So we've reached the quarterly period of the year in which still seems to be the greatest year ever (Ok so we've stretched that a little) in the meantime get a glimpse of artist who will be making a splash in the 08.

Name: J*Davey

Status: signed

Arriving: Early 08

Creation : TBA

Sounds Like: Groove Theory on Acid!!!!

Let's go back for a second, the year is 2006 and I was searching the web and stumbled upon Honey Soul and noticed there was a section called music from Myspace artist, now I guess you can call it fate and after clicking on the most creative song I've ever heard "No More" I immediately had to find out who was apart of this sound. J*Davey was the name and they was as every bit of stylish as there music,and the Los Angeles duo who met in high school had peaked interest for the remainder of the year.

2007 approaches and although the futuristic lead singer Jack Davey and her well balanced maestro Brook D'leau had a few internet leaks and random songs floating around, you started to want an album from the group and by the end of the year you demanded one!!! Well 2008 looks like all J*Davey disciples get there wish, after being signed to a major label (thank you Warner Bros) and a brand new and still yet untitled Album dropping before Spring, this could very well be the Rookies of the year just remember we told you so!!!!

Name: Matthew Santos

Status: Indie

Arriving: Mid 2008

Creation: TBA

Sounds like: Mix of Bono & Chris Martin

When you first heard the clever sounds of Lupe Fiasco's "Superstar" you said to yourself is that Chris Martin from Coldplay again? Who seems to be the go to guy for mainstream success as of recent. Well after seeing the video you realized that this was a fresh face and he sounded damn good!!!

Meet Matthew Santos the Minneapolis native who now resides in Chicago, and will put his mark in 2008 and will have you all loving his trademark B-boy signature style. With a debut album in the works and Lupe backing him up, Matthew might not have to sing "Superstar" he might become one.

Name: Little Dragon

Status: Indie

Arriving: Now

Creation: Little Dragon

Sounds Like: Bjork and the Brand New Heavies.

Well you might not be familiar with the funkiest group out of Sweden, but in 2008 you sure will be. With lead singer Yukimi Nagano and her henchmen creating sounds that any music fan would love and creating one of the best albums over the past decade.

There is nothing but great things for the hippest and trendiest band from Gothenburg in 2008, and with the right help it may even be greater, don't say we did not warn you. This should be the year that the world will know who Little Dragon is.

Name: Daniel Merriweather

Status: Signed

Arriving: Spring 2008

Creation: Love & War

Sounds Like: Daniel Merriweather

You might not remember the face but you sure will love the voice!! After coming off the smash hit "stop me" Marc Ronsons well slept on gem Version, DanielMerriweather is ready to become this years Golden Boy.

The silky smooth and soulful Brooklyn native who now resides in Australia, will be creating his anticipated album with help from Marc Ronson and Wajeed from the platinum pied pipers this could well be one of the feel good stories of this year!







Name: Duffy

Status: Signed

Arriving: May

Creation: Warwick Avenue

Where do we start? with a voice that would make Deniece Williams proud and a 60's vibe that reminds us how good Dusty Springfield really was, to call Duffy the next "it girl" is really unfair, and with Amy Wino (excuse me Winehouse) still lurking around (barely) there's some stiff competition lurking in British land. Well Such is not the case, this girl is the whole package and will be this years new Darling to the states, hailing from the land of Wales England and a special album that is number 1 in the U.K. (sorry U.S. May 13 circle that date!!!) Duffy is amongst the latest in the Northern Soul Revival that is so long overdue, and remember The Maroon Cafe told you first!!!!!
