James Morrison
I can't say enough about how amazing this UK import is when he's crooning in your ears. He is basically the seriously sick lab experiment mutation of Justin Timberlake, Gavin DeGraw, JC Chasez (that's right, 2 N'syncer's), John Mayer, and Michael Jackson. His raspy voice and inspiring lyrics will have you rediscovering yourself during a daydream.
Recommended tracks (you know, besides all of them): "Under the Influence," "You Give Me Something," "One Last Chance," "Undiscovered," and "Call the Police."
Paolo Nutini
This 19-year-0ld Scottish Italian has been making the rounds in the U.S. media, even on "TRL" with "New Shoes"--not my favorite of his songs. I actually prefer less Poppy tracks that reflect his indie rock side, who he credits Oasis and Damien Rice for.
Recommended tracks: "Loving You" and "Jenny Don't Be Hasty"
Amy Winehouse
I think Perez Hilton has well informed the masses of this incredible singer who could probably give Alicia Keys and Beyonce a run for their money when it comes to soul music. This girl has a laundry list of tormenting memories to sing the blues about. Besides the already worn down "Rehab," which talks about her rebelious anti-Britney-route decision, she has several others addressing lovers and her affinity for having more than one.
Recommended tracks: "You Sent Me Flying," "You Know I'm No Good," and "Me & Mr. Jones."
Young Love
Jennifer Lopez made his song, "Find a New Way to Dance," pretty popular with her MTV reality show about dancers. This Texan is getting Americans to entertain the idea of electronica/dance as a non-glow stick required genre. Who knew?
Recommended tracks: "Closer to You"
