As well as nailing the rich, imploring melodies found on his two solo albums - Queen of Denmark and Pale Green Ghosts - John Grant is partly responsible for year's Icelandic Eurovision song entry, No Prejudice, performed by the joyfully technicolour Pollap枚nk.
It's this ability to switch between light and darkness so effortlessly that makes the ex-Czars front man such a compelling proposition. Years of drama and addiction transform themselves into powerful songs, brought to life by his heart-melting vocals and a little help from his friends Midlake and Sinead O'Connor. Grant's cathartic efforts have gone on to pick up awards from Q and Mojo, plus gain a BRIT nomination and a huge amount of critical acclaim. Don't miss him this summer.
