FRYARS
Power (Fiction)
FROM the same London circles as Bombay Bicycle Club, Benjamin Garrett aka Fryars wrote two tracks for Lily Allens Sheezus album, but is more at home as a solo artist. This second album arrives five years after his debut and sees his talent maturing. His crooned vocals, augmented by skewed electronics and stunning harmonies, can sound mannered, but tracks such as On Your Own pack a hefty emotional punch.

ANNA PHOEBE
Between The Shadow And The Soul (The Orchard)
A BAREFOOT violin virtuoso with her heart in the prog-rock era, Phoebe toured with Roxy Music and Jon Lord, and she leads some superb ensemble playing on this mainly instrumental affair. She combines European folk and classical influences with verve. Ian Anderson adds trademark flute on A Moments Deception.

SCOTT MATTHEWS
Home Part 1 (San Remo)
THIS singer-songwriter has slipped under the radar since scooping an Ivor Novello award eight years ago. But his fifth album is a gem. Made in his West Midlands home studio, its observant songs are sung with a sweetness that recalls Elliott Smith.

On Christmas Night
(Coro SIGCD386)
THIS Armonico Consort CD is beautiful. A mixed choir of just ten voices is atmospherically recorded in St Marks Church, Leamington Spa, with director Christopher Monks risking some very slow tempi. The singing on such favourites as Away In A Manger, In Dulci Jubilo and Silent Night is exquisite.

Christmas Music
(Nimbus NI7096)
STEPHEN DARLINGTON has chosen William Mathiass Ave Rex and Poulencs Salve Regina to go with five great composers. Tudor England provides Byrd, Taverner and Sheppard, Palestrina represents Italy and Joao Rodrigues Esteves is from Portugal. Superb meld of ancient and modern.

ELLA HENDERSON
Chapter One (Syco Music)
This Grimsby teenager came sixth on The X Factor two years ago, despite being hailed as the best singer. One senses her elimination suited Simon Cowell, who has teamed her with a posse of co-writers. Her voice is supple Hard Work is a highlight but this debut has a surfeit of power ballads.

JESSIE WARE
Tough Love (PMR)
Ware's first album, Devotion, was a strong debut. The South Londoners second effort is more exuberant, but her signature sound subtle grooves and understated vocals is intact. She echoes the sheen of Sade on Sweetest Song, while Say You Love Me, written with Ed Sheeran, might give her a hit.

HOZIER
Hozier (Island)
Andrew Hozier-Byrne aka Hozier fronted a blues band in his teens, and that sound is a key influence on a debut that topped the charts in his native Ireland. Hoziers voice is gritty and his guitar work stripped-down and dirty. Take Me To Church packs a punch, while Jackie And Wilson nods to the Celtic soul of Van Morrison.
