Top artists of 2013: 5. JUSTIN LITERALLY BRINGING SEXY BACK!

Yes, you heard me.  JT is back and I think I speak on behalf of all women when I say: THANK YOU LORD.

His new album 'The 20/20 Experience' is a more mature sound from Justin- his days crying by rivers are long LONG gone. Fans have grown up a lot since his last album 'Future Sex/Lovesounds' in 2006 (7 years!!) and music has moved along too, so Justin had to find a fine line between great pop songs and keeping the huge fan base he's had for over a decade and he has managed to not only do that, but encourage a whole new wave of fans- older ladies! My Mum is now a huge fan saying (and I quote) "Justin Timberlake's music is a lot more mature now. I like it". Woah. Not sure I can handle that Venn diagram of love for Justin between us.

Unfortunetly, I'm yet to hear the whole album but by the two songs he's already released 'Suit and Tie' ft Jay-Z and 'Mirrors' his music (and let's face it Justin himself) just ooze sexy, cool, sophisticated, mature...
I'm loving the return to old school RnB with the sweet falsetto melodies Justin's famous for.
I can't wait to hear the rest of his album I can tell it's going to be huge!! All the best of luck with it Justin!

PS. Justin, if you're reading this...marry me? #nobiel

Here's his BRITs performance for 'Mirrors'. There is no excuse for anyone to have missed this. No. Excuse.

Top Artists of 2013- 4. Disclosure

Here's a secret- I've got a total soft spot for 'family bands' (one of the many reasons why sister group Haim have also made it into my top 10 artists for 2013) and Disclosure are no different.
This brotherly duo from Reigate, Surrey are smashing up the electro/garage/house/post-dubstep scene at the moment with huge celebrity fans such as Annie Mac (we bow down), SBTRKT and Hot Chip. Woah. Not the mention they supported the latter two on tour last year!! So if you're a fan of Skrillex, SBTRKT or Bondax, check them out!

The duo quickly rose to fame after remixing Jessie Ware's 'Running' followed by their huge single 'Latch' ft. Sam Smith. With contagious beats, insane sampling technique and an electric stage presence it's no wonder they are on every new music radar for talent this year.

New single 'White Noise' ft. Alunageorge (another awesome duo) is available on iTunes now and already reached #2 in BBC Radio One's top 40! Check out the videos of my top Disclosure tracks- guaranteed you'll be bopping/moshing/skanking around in to time.
