There's the sexual ambush and New York nastiness of Peaches, Beth Ditto's molten-hot snarl, Crystal Castles' Alice Glass with her smoky eyes and atomic punk attitude, MIA's kaleidoscope sounds, Roisin Murphy's fashionista disco and theatrical costumes, Allison Mosshary's rock'n'roll strut, Florence Welch's ability to beguile and beseech in a satin gown
