Helen Page, the 19 year old behind the infectiously charming Paperplain whose darling take on the female singer songwriter role has much more in common with the beauty of Beth Orton and Joanna Newsom than any of the twee forgettable nonsense that seems to be clogging up the charts of late.
This unsung hero certainly hasn't had the hype that others in similar genres are getting at the moment but then again, does she need or does she even care?
Her debut mini album 'Entering Pale Town' drifts in and out of wonderfully written guitar melody and very gentle, soothing vocals mixed with an honesty that wraps everything up in a wonderful little package ready to tug the hearstrings more and more with each listen.
Kick back, dim the lights and listen here.
