judge a musician by their video? Liverpool chanteuse Jennifer Davies goes all Scandi-cool in the first of five videos accompanying all of the tracks from her Lapse of Time ep (free download). As she sings of heartbreak and relationship failings, the hair is tossing and the fashion styling (couture clothes and stunning photography in a windswept landscape) is glaring. At the heart of it though, is a solidly crafted slice of electro-pop which should act as a great calling card for bigger things.

Jennifer Davies may need an emotional Heimlich manoeuvre for ‘Choke’, but it’s clear she’s determined to succeed.
