Rosie Oddie & The Odd Squad - Cola Coka

Yes, we know. You're sick to death of quirky London indie girl songwriters who just happen to have a famous father. Stick with us though please, for Rosie Oddie is actually something rather special.

Her surname may be more associated right now with bird-watching bearded ex-Goodies, but it's a pretty safe bet that, by the end of the year, you'll be referring to Bill Oddie as 'Rosie's dad'. Cola Coka is ridiculously infectious, utilising a slow-burn introduction, almost rockabilly rhythm and funny, biting lyrics, apparently written about the drug scene in Camdem.

"My mouth was dry and my nose was white...feeling fucked, but I feel alright" snarls Oddie before some very effective backing vocals swoop in to take the song to a whole new level. Excellent stuff - there's room for one more kooky female songwriter isn't there?
