Fuse Favorite: Watch Ella Henderson on Fuse All Week

Like Adele and Emeli Sande, Ella Henderson is the latest British powerhouse to be reckoned with—just listen to her soar through her soulful debut single "Ghost" (below), a No. 1 in her native U.K. Now, the 18-year-old is making waves stateside.

Just like the aforementioned singers, Henderson's singles go deeper than your usual pop song. "Ultimately, 'Ghost' is used as a metaphor to represent someone or something that's got a hold over you," the former U.K. X Factor finalist explains of the stirring release. "You can't eat, you can't sleep, it's tormenting you. You just want to run away from it, but you can't. The way I relate to it, it's this sense of frustration of not knowing what's right or what's wrong."
