Sky Ferreira: 'One'

Dirty blonde, LA cool in a way even the hippest kid from Leighton Buzzard never will be, and blessed with lips that'll have Amanda Holden calling Dr Fix It's emergency line at 2am, Sky Ferreira already seems like a star. She's plucky too, having kickstarted her recording career by sending an out-of-the-blue MySpace message to Bloodshy & Avant, the Swedish production duo behind 'Toxic' and 'Sweet Dreams My LA Ex'.

Sustaining a friendship isn't a problem for her either, as three years down the line it's those same Scando hitmakers twiddling the knobs 'One', Ferreira's long-awaited debut single. Over percolating synths and purposeful beats, the 18-year-old popstrel sings about a relationship that's making her feel like a robot in a suitably detached-sounding fashion - complete with lots of ear-snagging metronomic vocal hooks ("one one one one one...") Classy and elegant, but pretty insistent with it, this is the Joan Collins of electropop songs.
