‘Ready’ by Elizabeth Rose

This 21 year-old from Sydney is more than capable of being 2012’s Ellie Goulding. She touts a similarly slick, instantly marketable pop sound that lends well to remixing, but unlike Ellie, Rose produces all her stuff herself. Ready’s crystalline synthwork, mid-tempo thrust and powering chorus likens to a song like Lights, but comparatively holds much richer production value. Not to mention Rose’s pleasing voice, which hits an absurdly gorgeous wow-moment 3 minutes in. Throw Me To The Stars was also an unjustly overlooked 2011 single.
