She’s new to the music scene and she’s only 21-years-old. She’s already taken the music world by storm and her song “R.I.P.” just hit the top of the UK singles chart this week.

Rita herself has commented on the comparisons to Rihanna saying: “It’s a compliment to be compared to someone like her. She’s so successful and an amazing woman. I’d rather be compared to her than someone not as successful, so it’s good. I’ll take that!”

With her music career taking off in a big way, check out her single below.

Deadmau5 along with the world’s most advanced 4D technology created an amazing free light show at Millbank Tower, London [UK]

Millbank was plunged into darkness with the iconic tower acting as the canvas for a never-before-seen spectacular. Each of the 120 meter high building’s 800 windows were covered with vinyl as 16 powerful projectors, stationed 300 meters away on the other side of the river, beamed 3D images onto the structure. Huge butterflies flew across the London skyline and the tower was twisted, pulsated and even fell down. Billed as the “future of live events” the spectacular show was accompanied by music from dance producer deadmau5, who created exclusive remixes for the performance — adding the 4th dimension.

This was all put together to promote the release of the much-anticipated Nokia Lumia 800.

Charlene Soraia is a folk artist doing very well in the UK Charts right now. Yes we said UK! This song “Wherever You Will Go” is currently in the Top.20 National BBC Radio 1 Chart. Her debut album is called MOONCHILD.

Born in Sydenham (an area and electoral ward in the London Borough of Lewisham, United Kingdom) to hardcore hippy parents, Charlene first picked up a guitar at the tender and impressionable age of 5. It belonged to her dad but she secretly plucked away at it until the strings broke. She didn’t own up. But by then she had fallen head over heels in love with the instrument and her dad knew it. So he bought her a guitar of her own and Charlene spent hours teaching herself to play and honing her innate talent. And she was good. So good in fact that she performed in public for the first time aged just 8 years old. She hasn’t looked back since. By the age of 10 her life ambition, if the music career failed, was to become a luthier (how many 10 year olds even know what that is?) and after a few years practice she rebuilt a 1973 Japanese 335 guitar when she was 17.

It was around age 9 that Charlene first fell in love with David Bowie. By 10 she discovered the experimental sounds of The Beatles and got deep into ‘60’s psychedelia and intricate jazz guitarists before exposure to artists like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and King Crimson led to her encyclopedic knowledge and deep love of prog rock. I kid you not. This girl is as far from the run of the mill singer songwriter as you can get.

Charlene’s love of the guitar and the above musical genres has developed her distinctive fret flexing style that is incredible to listen to and mesmerizing to watch. Her unique talent and hippified individuality also won her a coveted place at the Brit School, where her peers were Adele, ROX and Kate Nash. Even at such a young age she has captivated sufficiently to be invited to tour with the likes of Stephen Fretwell, Howard Elliot Payne, Kami Thompson and Jon Allen.

Keep an eye on this girl – as we think you’ll be hearing her name in 2012.
