Something about British female artists that's so unique.
Musically so distinct from American pop singers, it's not just the accent, but the style.
The unique quality probably started with Lily Allen, then Kate Nash. They set the path for the other girls. Now there's too many to name. I like Paloma Faith and Marina and the diamonds.
Obviously there is Amy Winehouse and Duffy with the voice that was so talked about, but I'm more interested in the 'synth pop' genre.
Synthpop is pretty interesting, lengthy to explain so you can check this out

With synthpop you think of Little Boots, La Roux and Ellie Goulding. Edgy.
Ellie Goulding had a great start to her career by topping the BBC Sound of 2010 poll, as well as winning the Critics Choice Award at the 2010 Brit Awards which is a notable achievement.
Her debut single Starry Eyed is catchy, but I'm liking her 2nd much more. Check out the video for Guns and Horses.
