Ed Sheeran - F64 (SB.TV)

Ed Sheeran hooks up with Jamal Edwards for a surprise F64 for SB.TV and absolutely smashes it. Great to see that despite all his success, Ed still knows how to keep it real. Recorded all in one take too. Sick.

Maverick Sabre - Emotion

Given an exclusive world's first play by Mistajam yesterday, Maverick Sabre brings us another track from his his highly anticipated and as of yet untitled sophmore album. 'Emotion', which serves as the follow up to promotional track 'Breathe' unveiled earlier this month, is set to be the first single taken from the new album and sees the Irish singer-songwriter sample Chaka Khan classic 'Ain't Nobody' with stunning results. I can't explain how happy I am to see this man putting out music again. Maverick is back.

Joel Baker - Every Vessel Every Vein

Set for release early next month, singer-songwriter Joel Baker, who you may remember from his collaborations with both Mega and Nick Brewer, has this week unveiled his first single of the new year, which comes in the form of a stunning guitar led folk ballad entitled 'Every Vessel Every Vein'. Once again I can't help, but be astounded at the number of immensely talented UK singer-songwriters coming through the ranks at the moment and mark my words Joel Baker is one of them. If you ever wondered what a young Ben Howard might sound like, this is it.

Jake Isaac - Waiting Here

To celebrate the end of his first country-wide tour as the opening support act for Ella Eyre, singer-songwriter Jake Issac has uploaded a brand new track, which will be also be made available as a free download from 12pm today. I've only discovered Isaac recently, but I can honestly say after listening to the two EPs he's released so far I already consider him to be one of the most exciting young talents around today. Remember the name, Isaac is a guaranteed future star.

Sam Smith - Stay With Me

Last night singer-songwriter and BBC Sound of 2014 winner Sam Smith unveiled the third single to be taken from his highly anticipated debut album In The Lonely Hour. 'Stay With Me', which Zane Lowe described as an 'instant classic', is a soulful slow-burning piano ballad that showcases the full extent of Smith's vocal ability, backed only by a gospel choir. If you needed any further proof that Sam Smith is the real deal, after listening to this you shouldn't.

George Ezra - Coat of Armour

As teenage Folk sensation George Ezra gears up for the release of his second EP, he today unveiled 'Coat of Arms' which will act as one of 4 tracks featured on the Cassy O' EP, due out March 16th. There is nothing about George's voice I don't love and something tells me 2014 is going a massive year for him. Great to see a young British musician unafraid to try something different and do so well because of it.

SOAK - Blud (Official Video)

I was lucky enough to catch George Ezra perform in Bristol last night and as his support act he brought along 17-year-old Irish singer-songwriter Soak. I'll be honest and say I hadn't heard of Soak before the gig, which is maybe why her performance left me all the more more impressed. Check out the lead track from her forthcoming debut EP via the player below, something tells me you'll be hearing a lot more of her very soon.

Lizbet Sempa - Epiphany

Lizbet Sempa, one of the two female artists chosen to support Jacob Banks at his second-ever headline gig last month at XOYO, yesterday made just one of the tracks she performed available as a free download via her Soundcloud page. 'Epiphany' is typical of Sempa's alternative vocal style and the stripped back arrangment perfectly compliments the 18 year old singer-songwriter's unique voice. One to watch.

MNEK - Ready For Your Love (Stripped Gorgon City Cover)

Uploaded earlier this evening, MNEK demonstrates the true extent of his vocal abilities with an incredible stipped back cover of 'Ready For Your Love', his brand new collaborative single with Gorgon City, which is scheduled for release this Sunday. I like the original a lot, but quite frankly this version takes things to a whole new level. What a talent.

George Ezra - Cassy O'

Bristolian folk singer George Ezra, who finished fifth in this year's BBC Sound of 2014 poll, prepares for the release of his first EP of the new year by making the title track available early to anyone who pre-orders it on iTunes now. The full EP isn't due out till March 16th, but for those not already familiar with Ezra's sound I suggest you have a listen to his earlier Did You Hear The Rain EP, his voice, in my opinon, being easily one of the most unique in UK music today.
