Originally from Missouri, and now based Oklahoma City Sophia Wells performs under the name Swells. With a soul-infused take on pop, she takes influences such as Allen Stone and Ella Eyre, as well as earlier R&B artists like The Supremes and Otis Redding, and today releases her debut single ‘White Noise.’ Nothing to do with the AlunaGeorge track of a few years back, the artist who I hear most is Amy Winehouse.

I’ve played this quite a lot since it dropped into my inbox a few days ago – and it’s out today (and yes, I bought it to set everyone a good example). It’s short but sweet, and I look forward to hearing more from her.
