Album: Delilah, From the Roots Up (Atlantic)

Camden girl with attitude releases hugely impressive debut that hints at masterwork still to come ….

But though the template feels familiar, Delilah's sound owes more to the trip-hop of the 1990s than the jazz- pop of Amy Winehouse. Crucially, her voice can go from breathy to ballsy to sweet to sinister. Edgy enough to please the hipsters, smooth enough for the Zero 7 set, From the Roots Up is a thrilling soundtrack to this unpredictable summer.
