I would like to just note a time-when-I-discovered-them-progression of my favorite women in music that happen to be British.
Ms Dynamite - R&B signer, favorite song "DY-NA-MI-TEE"
Lady Sovereign - Grime rapper, favorite song "Random 2"
Lily Allen - favorite song "LDN"
Amy Winehouse - favorite song "Tears Dry on Their Own"
Kate Nash - sounds an awful lot like Lily Allen*, favorite song "Foundations"
Adele - sounds an awful lot like Amy Winehouse*, favorite song "My Same"
*In both cases, I mean this in the best possible way.
And even better than just telling you about them, I created a Muxtape (click to listen):
