Emma Deigman
For a 20 year old about to release her first album, Emma Deigman has some impressive admirers. Bryan Adams recently turned up to one of her gigs, Gary Barlow has declared himself a huge fan and, on hearing a handful of her songs, Rod Stewart immediately offered to help her break the States. Listen to Deigman's debut album, and you can understand the fuss. Sumptuous soul vocals hark back to the '70s on funky, feel-good songs with and lashings of live brass and strings.
