Agnes: 'Release Me'

Got room for another Scando-pop diva in your life? If so, allow us to introduce Agnes Carlsson, a 21-year-old former Swedish Idol champion who's already notched up a trio of platinum albums in her homeland. Her USP? A set of pipes that place her closer to Leona than Kylie in the belting stakes.

'Release Me', her UK debut single, is a far classier Europop banger than September and Velvet have been dishing up recently - the all-conquering chorus and thumping beats are present and correct, but this has lashings of strings and lavish production flourishes too. Call it a Waitrose organic pork and apple to their Tesco Value jobbies.
