Ones To Watch in 2012: Ricki-Lee


Ricki-Lee is hands down one of my favorite Aussie pop singers today.  Sure, the Australian pop scene is saturated with an abundance of talent, but Ricki-Lee should be right up there in the mix as far as I'm concerned.  The first single off her forthcoming third studio album (her first signed with EMI), a stunning dance/pop jewel called "Raining Diamonds" was released in Australia back in October and went on to peak at #19 on the ARIA Singles Chart.  The song is accompanied by a beautiful Krozm-directed video that contains visual elements from a laundry list of recent popstar videos (i.e. Cheryl Cole's "Fight For This Love" and Rihanna's "Umbrella," to name a couple) showcasing a stunning Ricki-Lee rockin' her moves while looking like a cross between a Fembot and Barbarella.  GORG!

Rising to fame on Season 2 of Australian Idol back in 2004, Ricki-Lee Coulter made a splash from the very beginning, auditioning with a rendition of En Vogue's "Don't Let Go."  Shortly after her untimely sixth seventh place exit, Ricki-Lee started carving out her own pop career, turning down a major label deal with Sony BMG, instead signing with Australian Indie label Shock Records.  When her first single, the decidedly R&B "Hell No" debuted at #5 on the ARIA Singles Chart in the summer of 2005, any doubt people might have had that she could turn herself into a successful pop star was eliminated.  I can only imagine what people were thinking post Idol.  The very fact that she turned down a deal with Sony probably seemed crazy at the time but this girl knew what she wanted and had the guts to go for it.  While her self-titled debut album only managed to peak at #30 on the ARIA Albums Chart, girl landed two top 10 singles, with single #2, the uber-bubbly "Sunshine" peaking at #8.  The album's third and final single, a ballad called "Breathe" didn't fare too poorly either, charting at a respectable #14.

  • Nikka Costa - Stuck To You: I've always loved Nikka -ever since hearing her single 'Like A Feather' and I've always been dissapointed largely by the number and quality of her remixes. I'm not saying that every artist/song needs to be mixed for the clubs but Nikka's vocal style is very well suited for a club scene. This single is fun by itself, a fantastic return to the scene. I have yet to hear any of the mixes but I'm happy with the calibre of the remixers. Aude & Vission should bring a nice electro house sound to the track, while Sunshine could bring his traditional electro-rock vibe. "Stuck To You" comes off her new album 'Pebble To A Pearl', out October 14th.
  • Hilary Duff - Reach Out: Lead single off of Duff's forthcoming 'Best Of' compilation, "Reach Out" samples heavily from Depeche Mode's "Reach Out & Touch Me." I've already heard the mixes for this song and I have to say, I'm relatively pleased. Going off of the success of other artists sampling old songs and making them into new songs, Hilary's single does the job. Nothing new here, but still enjoyable, sugary pop/dance music. I enjoy the Bermudez and Vission mixes...have yet to listen to DJ Escape & Dom Capello's mixes. Hilary's 'Best Of' album comes out in November.
  • Michelle Williams - The Greatest: "The Greatest" is Michelle's third single to be remixed off her latest album, 'Unexpected." Following "We Break The Dawn" and "Hello Heartbreak", "The Greatest" is one track I haven't heard yet and didn't know they were remixing until recently. Looking at the lineup of remixers (Nevins, Maurice Joshua, Mr. Mig, etc.) I have to say that I'm excited. I enjoyed the mixes of "We Break The Dawn" but have not yet listened to the "Hello Heartbreak" mixes (available now on Amazon and iTunes). I am pumped for these!
