Music bible 'Guardian New Band of the Day' has always served me well but, earlier this week, introduced me to an especially promising musical prospect in the form of 21-year-old Londoner Jai Paul.His genre-melding production style and idiosyncratic vocal style works a treat on tracks like 'BTSTU' and the demos on his Myspace are loaded with ideas, earning him comparisons to musical innovators like M.I.A. and Hudson Mohawke.
Jai Paul is supposedly at the centre of an A&R battle at the moment, so here's hoping we hear some fully-formed material from him in the not-too-distant future.
