An eclectic combination of hip-hop, punk, electro, pop and dance, Bone of My Bones is an album "for the iPod Generation," according to its producer, arranger and performer, Ebony Bones. The 2009 debut album from the former soap actress includes twelve distinctive tracks which address racism, politics and relationships in her own unique style. Named after a biblical reference in the Book of Genesis, the M.I.A.-esque LP includes the singles "The Musik" and "We Know All About You."

Ebony Bones, then is an artist of the moment, and for the future. A vibrant, wild and very human riposte to every bland, over-marketed, plastic pop princess on the planet.

Ebony Bones is a star. It's as simple as that, or it can be more complex if you'd prefer. If you want to look closer, you'll see that this south Londoner is very much a artist of our times; a self-taught bedroom musician who was among the first to share her songs over the internet, and who's polymorphous sound reflects the pick n' mix approach to genres the kids growing up in iTunes World have.

But really, whether you label her as the New DIY Superstar, a Kate Bush for the iPod Generation, or simply the Next Big Thing, it all amounts to the same thing: she's a ruddy star.

• The Fly (06/09 p.39) - "...Ebony's flamboyant genre-hopping is nothing new, but BONE OF MY BONES is nevertheless an enthralling, if somewhat demented,, listen"
