Overview

You probably haven't heard of Lorde yet, but that won't be the case for long.

Ella Yelich-O'Connor is an incredibly talented 16-year-old Kiwi girl who somehow manages to combine the acrobatic, multi-octave voice of a Regina Spektor with the inward-looking, outwardly-hedonistic R&B of The Weeknd, Drake or Miguel.

She's only released one five-track EP (which you can listen to here) but has already been praised by the likes of Grimes and Diplo, and you just know she's going to be one of the Artists to Watch in 2013. (Maybe if she gets enough love on this Australian tour, we can adopt/claim her as Australian once she's a superstar and running the game?)
