Florence and the Machine has been announced as the winner of the Brit Awards for Critics' Choice--the rising star that critics have deemed most like to be a success in 2009. The awards was established last year to give a new performer a platform to reach an audience. Last year's award went to Adele, who has become quite a success and a Grammy-darling. Hopefully things will turn out similar for this talented performer! Florence and the Machine will perform at the Brit Award nominations on 20 January and will receive her award at the main ceremony on 18 February. I've posted her video for "Kiss With a Fist" below:
Coming in second for the award was the fabulous Little Boots. Here's her track "Meddle" for you to check out:

"Meddle is amongst my favourites. I mean that, to me, is the start of the path forward for Pink Floyd, really."
—David Gilmour, February 1988, on Australian Radio
"Meddle was the first real Pink Floyd album. It set a tempo, a feel and a style that we liked, and it introduced the idea of the theme that can be returned to. It sounds a bit ham-fisted now, but the concept thing I like."
—Nick Mason, 1994
