In a nutshell: Plucked from the squalor of the London squat scene by Jill Sinclair and husband Trevor Horn (Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Art Of Noise), David Jordan is a 21-year-old pop-soul sensation waiting to happen. Filtering the flamboyance of past heroes like Prince and Cab Calloway through his own unique heritage (Enfield born, Montserrat mum, Calcutta dad) and falsetto flights, Jordan’s debut is the sound of an all-round natural.

Imagine if you will: Mika for people who prefer Marvin Gaye to Queen.
