The Brit Award winner - who scooped an award at this year's (08) ceremony for the artist "most likely to make it big in 2008" - will release her LP in America this summer (08).

The 19-year-old has enjoyed huge success in the U.K. after her debut album went straight to the top of the charts in January (08), following her first single Chasing Pavements which peaked at the number two spot.

The singer - who was a student at U.K.'s BRIT school for performing arts alongside singing stars Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen and Kate Nash - is currently completing a short tour in the U.S.

A representative from the singer's U.K. label XL Recordings says, ""She wants to work it properly, and put in time there. People are really excited about her over there."
