Jose Vanders is intoxicating!

She's 17 years old. Seventeen!!!!

And, she's bursting with talent and charm and POTENTIAL.

Her songs demonstrate a craftsmanship and wisdom of human emotion far beyond her years.

Jose Vanders is one of the most exciting things to happen to British music since Amy Winehouse!

It's rare for an artist to come along at such a young age that is so sure of themselves.

Jose (pronounced Jo-sea) is the real deal!

Following in the tradition of Tori Amos and more recently Regina Spektor, Vanders hits our sweet spot. We're always a sucker for a cute and quirky girl with a big piano and a prodigious talent!

Enjoy the delicious Faces Going Places below. Then you must CLICK HERE to check out some of the other beautiful beautiful songs by Jose Vanders.

We still can't believe she's only 17!

      Perez. Perez. Perez. Once again you found one more singer with no talent? Are these people paying you for play? I just don't get it. They have to be paying you, bribing you, something.

      Periz, why are you such a fucking douche?
      This girl doesn't deserve to do Amy Winehouse's LAUNDRY you stupid fag!
      The reason, Perez, that you suck ass as a gossip columnist is you smooch the ass of those you're supposed to be covering… why, I don't know. Perhaps it's because you're a fat gargoyle and need the validation constantly.
      Just know that you're a fucking joke. You're unprofessional, and are only around to provide laughs for your betters.
      But then, deep down, you know that don't you?

      Very good songwriter, sweet voice but far too much like Kate Nash, and other than the places and faces song, her music just doesn't have that much of an impact.

      that's the worst song ever. Observation song. Sounds like a 8 year old was told to write down what she saw and then to make doot doot doot music to go along with it on a Radio Shack keyboard bought for 10 bucks. Lame.

      343

      been a myspace "friend" of Jose Vanders for a little while now, bought her ep recently and it's not been off my cd player since. A rival for Kate Nash and still unsigned, come on you a&r people snap her up and give her a recording deal.
      You obviously don't know where Leeds is, she's from the South with a Southern accent.

    44. White Tiger says – reply to this


      344

      Re: peencat – do you even know where Leeds is? she's from the London area and has an accent from that region, about 200 miles south of Leeds

    45. Claire says – reply to this


      345

      I love it! I think her accent makes the song even better. Even if it's not what she was going for she sounds completely innocent. It's a good quality for this song, I think.

      348

      I HATE KATE NASH
      of course theres a bit of a comparason but jose is actually a song writer as well as a singer.

      Kate Nash writes a song called mouthwash with the lyrics ' i use mouthwash, sometimes i floss, ive got a family and i drink cups of tea!' WHO THE FUCK SIGNED HER!!!

      jose will go far!
      i had heard her name about but never listend to her because i heard 'shes like kate nash'
      then i saw her live at infernos the other week and she was amazing
      and im well pissed off i didnt buy her ep sooner, now its sold out and i have to wait for it to come on itunes….I WANTED THE CUTE COVER WITH ALL THE DRAWINGS!!!!

      but yeah anyway the point is
      JOSE VANDERS IS GREAT

      God your readers are bitter, tasteless losers - paid ad, thats definately not true, its very hard to get a record company to pay for ad placements when your unsigned! leeds accent, you could get much further from it! for seventeen and home recorded music she is nothing other than exceptional - end of
