Oh, My Heart Is A Porcupine

Meet Ruby Frost, one of a number of musical wonders hailing from New Zealand that are beginning to make ripples on the global scene (see also Pikachunes, Princess Chelsea, and of course Kimbra).

After picking up the MTV 42Unheard Award in 2009 and the John Lennon Songwriting Competition in 2010, Ms Frost inked a deal with Universal and set to work on her debut album, 'Volition', which was released a short time ago.

I've yet to hear the album in its entirety but, based on the evidence of the first few singles, I imagine it's not half bad. Recent singles 'Porcupine' and 'Water To Ice' can rival the output of some of the great artpop dames.

Plus, it might just be the hair, but doesn't she look a bit like Amelia Lily?
