In my opinion the best by far of the acts listed is Frank Ocean. He is as R'n'B singer-songwriter who raps and has a lot of soul in his voice. This year he released the brilliant album 'Nostalgia/Ultra' for free download off his website. Through this he has already proven his amazing talent as a musician.
For the BBC Sound of 2012, I'm backing Frank Ocean. Who are you backing? Let me know by leaving a comment or tweeting me @MWB709
I'm with either Dry The River or Michael Kiwanuka, they're getting my votes :)
