By Eric Assaly On 9 July 2012 In Top 10

Jessie Ware
Diva Status: Princess
Track: Running

Jessie Ware is a master of dreamy pop. Her voice is smooth as silk and her style is impeccable. She’s classy, sexy, and strong. Evoking a nostalgic feel without sounding dated is definitely a key part of Jessie’s charm. Without a doubt, this diva is going to make it big.

Niki & The Dove
Diva Status: Primal-chic
Hot Track: Mother Project

Swedish electro duo Niki & The Dove is getting a lot of hype recently for their cool animalistic style of dance music. Following in the footsteps of fellow Swedish musicians The Knife, Niki & The Dove pump out primal electronic-driven sounds but add club-friendly beats for music that will make you want to dance like crazy.

Diamond Rings
Diva Status: Fierce
Hot Track: Show Me Your Stuff

Diamond Rings is the stage name of Toronto-born John O’Regan. This electro-pop singer has a very fierce attitude both in his music and on stage. Nike sneakers, rainbow makeup, a Blue Jays baseball cap, and cheetah spandex leggings are typical Diamond Rings garb. But don’t let this fool you; his music is filled with clever hooks and sharp lyrics.

AlunaGeorge
Diva Status: Electric glam
Hot Track: You Know You Like It

Aluna Francis and George Reid comprise UK electronic pop duo AlunaGeorge. Aluna shines as a cute and sassy R&B singer as George provides fierce beats that compliment her style perfectly. These tunes will really make you want to strut your stuff.

Azealia Banks
Diva Status: Ghetto fab
Hot Track: 212

Azealia is sassy, stunning, rude, trashy…pretty much all of the above. But her ferociousness is exactly what gives her such an edge in her music. Definitely a diva to watch out for this year.

Azari & III
Diva Status: Hot mess
Hot Track: Manic

Fabulousness runs through the veins of the members of Azari & III. Cool 90’s-inspired house beats along with borderline schizophrenic vocals make for a dangerously fun sound.
