A look at the Radio 1 playlist this week and you'll see the name of Soak, the singer songwriter whose song Fingers Crossed has been chosen for the weekly Ö÷²¥´óÐã Introducing slot on the playlist. Find out more about her below and listen to Fingers Crossed at your leisure.

Ö÷²¥´óÐãtown: Derry-based Bridie Monds-Watson goes by the name of SOAK, a hotly tipped Northern Irish act who we saw recently perform on a very cold rooftop as part of Belfast Music Week (she's in the centre of the photo above).
Style: The 16 year-old singer certainly lets her tunes do the talking. Matching her dimunative figure, SOAK cuts a fragile image on stage and on record and Fingers Crossed is a tender, heartfelt track folkÌýlaid bare across a simple acoustic guitar accompaniment. Handled with care.
You need to know: She may be 16 but SOAK already has two EPs to her name. The first, Trains, was released last March and the second, Sea Creatures, which features Fingers Crossed, followed a few months later in July.
Supported by: So many of SOAK's tracks have been played by Ö÷²¥´óÐã Radio Ulster's Across The Line programme and their support led to plays on Ö÷²¥´óÐã Radio 1's Introducing show with Jen Long and Ally McCrae.
