Beth Ford, from Bloxwich, was picked out for attention by the influential, international music blog The Revue.

The 15-year-old sent the internet into meltdown in October after recording the iconic 70s song Streets Of London with Broadway star Michael Boe, brother of people's tenor Alfie Boe.

Earlier in the year a video of her singing Pie Jesu to her mother in an empty church went viral in America. The footage received more than 130,000 views.

Since then, she has topped charts in Australia and online with her cover of Judy Garland's I'm Always Chasing Rainbows and reached number 3 in an iTunes new releases chart with her debut single If I Could Escape.

Describing the Walsall Academy student as a 'hidden gem of a talent' The Revue urges its readers to look out for her forthcoming debut EP, The Voyage.
