Re: Sound of 2012
Presume that should have said 'Ren Harvieu'
Mixed bag so far. Frank Ocean seems the most notable name yet to make any impact.
I've been pleasantly surprised by Jamie N Commons, and Spector probably stand a good long-term chance, as well.

Re: Sound of 2012
StooShe and Lianne La Havas seem to have made a good impression.
Skrillex and Azealia Banks seem to have hit big in the charts with one song that lingers around the charts for far longer than feasibly possible (Bangarang, and 212, respectively). Despite my blatant cynicism, Skrillex' "Make it Bun Dem" was more to my taste.
But it still seems to have been a pretty rough year.
