Lykke Li - Sadness Is A Blessing

Allow the OTT arty visuals - this is a storming classic. I forsee a million covers.

I know about Lykke Li chiefly through her interesting choice of collaborations - Tyler the Creator remixed her, and she guested on a Tabi Bonney track.

I'm getting excited about her, although I don't instinctively love her voice - too thin. But her songs are dense, in a good way.

Tyler the Creator - French

To be fair, most of y'all won't like this. It's growly-voiced and foul-mouthed, from the new young contender: Tyler the Creator. He's kinda a big deal on the internet.

Best things about this? Unexpected rhymes, fluid flow, and an incredible vocal quality. Also I'm in a terrible mood, and this is some proper aggy music.

Tyler The Creator - Yonkers

This is the most spectacularly dark and twisted thing I've heard in a while. Tyler's getting lots of hype from important people, who are far more articulate than I.

Suffice to say, you'll have to give it a few listens to desensitize yourself to the video. But then the lyrics are something else: he promises to "stab Bruno Mars in his goddamn oesophagus". Which, although cruel, would definitely make the Grammys more interesting.

He's only 19: could he be the new hardcore Kanye?
