First impressions of Absie would have her as another Lily Allen/Kate Nash clone, but listen closer and you'll realise that she actually has talent and an ear for a quality song. Ignorant Poser is the pick of her tracks with fantastic lyrics which are given time to shine with a beautifully mellow acoustic guitar as the backing track. Her debut album cannot come quick enough for me.
