If you fancy something a bit mellow and Nick Drake-tinged then try LA Salami, a ridiculously talented young bloke from Hackney.
If you're after something with a bit more meat to it and a voice that will blow you away then another Londoner Michael Kiwanuka is a good shout. This song is a slow burner and really kicks in after 6 mins
I don't know if Canadian singer Frazey Ford is particularly hip but she released a cracking album last year with this belter on it
Woodkid is a young French bloke who moved to Swindon and I'm hoping he becomes a big name soon. It's worth checking out all his videos and also the acoustic versions
And lastly 2 more Canadian acts that have great wit and clever tunes, The Burning Hell and Timbre Timber.
