Yasmine Hamdan

You're going to be hearing a lot more from this Paris-based Lebanese singer, who made her name in the Middle East with the Beirut electronic duo Soapkills, collaborated with CocoRosie and recorded an album, 'Arabology', with French new-waver Mirwais as YAS before striking out alone. You'll see her on 'Later With Jools Holland', you'll see her in the new Jim Jarmusch movie, and hopefully you'll be lucky enough to get a ticket to see her play tracks from her wonderfully sultry debut album 'Ya Nass' live.
