Today’s opinion formers predict tomorrow’s headline acts
LEYTON BRACEGIRDLE THE CHART SHOW DANCE CHANNEL Meital
Give Us Back Love (Transmission Records)
With a distinctive image reminiscent of a Lady Gaga/Madonna mash up, Meital may have just come up with a track ready to break her out from the dancefloor and straight into the mainstream with a potential summer smash in the form of Give Us Back Love.
In the Sunshine (Washaway Records)
With a haunting vocal and a surprising melody, In The Sunshine is like a hazy summer daydream. A promising taster of her debut album, Collectable You which, with Calum MacColl producing, certainly has some serious folk chops.
TOM GOODWYN NME Touché Amoré
Is Survived By (Deathwish)
Touché Amoré’s third offering is about as powerful as post-hardcore gets. From the second the bass rumbles out of the speakers, the record keeps thing stupidly intense. The guitars growl menacingly in the background rather than overpowering Jeremy Bolm’s vocals, which is all to the good.
CARL ENGLISH M MAGAZINE Patrick James Pearson Band
And So It Goes (OUF Records)
Patrick James Pearson Band are a three piece from Cornwall armed with all the ingredients for a great indie band. Their infectious songwriting and energetic live shows hark back to early Joy Division or Supergrass in their prime. Get your ears round recent debut album And So It Goes.

Campaign To Fly. To Serve. Today. Tomorrow. Usage TV / UK 1yr
Key execs Adam Gardiner / Charlotte Thomas (Universal Sync / Globe), Ayla Owen (The Most Radicalist Black Sheep Music – part of Bartle Bogle Hegarty, London)
For its latest TV advert – premiered during the England/Moldova World Cup qualifier on ITV on Friday, September 6 - British Airways set out to show travel and innovation at its best. The ‘micro to macro’ filming style highlights the intimate details of
flying and the incredible attention to detail and expertise required get 100,000 people in the air every day. Advertising agency BBH, creators of British Airways’ ‘To Fly. To
Serve.’ re-brand in 2011, sought the services of head of music Ayla Owen from their in-house music supervision team, The Most Radicalist Black Sheep Music. Owen said: “We explored a diverse range of musical ideas for this campaign and when Adam Gardiner at Universal Music sent me the Einaudi remix, we knew we were onto something very special.” Globe’s creative manager Adam Gardiner said: “The chosen track
had to mirror British Airways’ iconic status whilst also encapsulating their role as a market leader in technical innovation. As soon as Charlotte [Thomas] played the Starkey remix of Ludovico Einaudi’s Experience to us it was clear that we had such a track.”
