By Tiffany Lee | The New Now – Sun, Dec 2, 2012 11:36 AM ESTAs the year comes to a close, and the holiday stress puts your therapist on speed dial, why not take a moment from your debilitating rage against the department store cashier to reflect upon the last calendar year of music—we sure have. 2012 has brought us tripped out folk singers, potty-mouthed mermaids, indie super groups and jams hot enough to boil a waterbed, just to name a few.
While some of these artists have been around for longer than a hot second, we're selecting them based on their debut studio or major label albums dropping in 2012. After all, how can you choose a "Best New Artist" without hearing a completed effort? So let’s take a look at the artists we think gave this year a real good shakedown.

Diamond Rings Shines Bright With Exclusive Acoustic Set
By Tiffany Lee | The New Now – Mon, Oct 29, 2012 4:02 PM EDT
Lipstick on a dude has never looked so badass. Canadian electro-pop artist John O'Regan, known as Diamond Rings, came by Y! Music to acoustically showcase some shining tracks off his second studio album, Free Dimensional.Hailing from Toronto, O'Regan ran with bands that played Casio-pop to post-punk before breaking out with his own project. Diamond Rings melds elements of pop, rock, electro, indie and punk with deep, sinister vocals that can be as earnest as they are evil. Diamond Rings is yet to translate his position as music blogger darling to charting musician, but with similar upcoming artists like Grimes and Charlie XCX making huge waves, O'Regan is sure to be part of that tide.
With a range that can crank out dance floor jams to stage-diving anthems, paired with a high-concept sense of fashion and model-good looks (in person, he's seriously china doll flawless), O'Regan will soon prove to listeners that a diamond is forever.
