Imagine a variation of Lana DEL REY (for the cinematic glamor), Amy WINEHOUSE (for tone of voice), and Shirley BASSEY (for vocal involvement)! ...

This could annoy, especially in France where the phenomenon has not yet taken, but just listen to the first album to be convinced of the phenomenal talent this singer and singularity of musical synthesis that it offers. His latest album, "Fall To Grace" (2012), is equally impressive. Fabulously hosted in England, he was quite unknown to us.
In terms of pop and "variety" upscale, the British, from the BEATLES, a sacred step ahead of the rest of the world. Yet the "market" continues to expect "Messiahs" American-like Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus when many brilliant revelations are in range, across the Channel, and that in all genres of music except country music music.
