British Invasion III (Soul Diva Style)

The British have invaded again, this time in the form of some talented young soul divas. We’ve heard some stirring new tunes from Amy Winehouse and Best New Artist Grammy-winner Adele. Add some brash new voices in Lily Allen and Estelle, throw in some classics from Dusty and Lulu and you get a sense of the diversity that has continued to come out of the UK.
