I wanted to start this post because I recently bought Anna Nalick's CD and it is amazing. If you are not familiar with this artist she has a new single out on the radio "Breath (2am)." She is a mixture of Fiona Apple and Jewel, her music is focused on her lyrics.

You should really check her out!! http://www.annanalick.com

Has anyone else found a new artist??

Posted by Beren One Hand (Member # 3403) on :

Thanks for the link. I enjoyed listening to the previews. [Smile]

She sounds so much like Jewel, especially in Forever Love and Wreck of the Day.

Her single Breathe is getting a ton of airplay here in Los Angeles (Star 98.7).

Not another song called "Breathe"!!! [Wall Bash]

That said, the songs seem ok, but I'll have to listen to more than just those previews to form a clear opinion.

I got the "Breathe (2AM)" song as a free download from iTunes several months back. Good stuff but it's the only song I've heard by her.

Another musician (not really new) that I discovered through that same method is Jem. It's like Dido with a mix of...I don't know, something with some really neat and interesting beats. I don't really know how to describe it except that it's really easy to listen to.

My latest addiction is Ernie Halter.

Here's his webpage.

He's a guitar guy, so those of you who hate John Mayer may want to stay away, but he has a smooth, sweet voice.

Ooooh, you got me interested! [Big Grin]

El JT de Spang,

I think you have introduced me to my next new obsession!

Ernie Halter!!

I am glad I started this Post!

For me, The new band who please me is Bloc Party. Their last album (and maybe the first, i don't know...) is great. look at here !

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Jackie Greene.

Hayley Westenra. New Zealander, she is still a teenager, sings mostly classical style. Was featured on PBS a few months ago. Has several CD outs. Has a DVD out. Her latest CD is coming out in different countries now.

She has the most amazing voice I have ever heard. You got to hear a full quality audio clip, the low quality stuff on her webpage does her a big injustice. I was a music major, so take me seriously! [Wink]

Holly Brook. She's young as well. 19 I think. Her debut album 'Like Blood Like Honey' is coming out this fall, and she is a contributing artist on Fort Minor, an upcoming hip hop project. Her voice is gorgeous and she plays piano. I'd describe her as something like Fiona Apple, Vanessa Carlton, Tori Amos, Dido...hard to say exactly. You can listen to two songs on her site, 'Curious' and 'Heavy.'

Have you ever heard Ruth Holton?

Posted by Jonathan Howard (Member # 6934) on :

ETA: My favourite is probably Delta Goodrem. Though I hardly give a damn about modern music.

Jem, eh? She sounds truly outrageous.

Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :

They aren't really new, but they're new to me. I just got into Muse and I really like the album Absolution.

Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :

Ooh, new-to-me is a great category. Let's see...

nope, the list would be too darn long.

Posted by camus (Member # 8052) on :

ah, let's wander into the "favorites that are new-to-me" category for a second...

Thrice - alt punk
Senses Fail - alt punk
Blue Merle - kind of like Coldplay
Youth Group - hmmm...hard to describe. reminds me of Modest Mouse but it doesn't really sound like them
Matchbook Romance - emo/alt punk

Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :

I have heard good things about Blue Merle.

Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :

Matchbook Romance rocks! I also like Motion City Soundtrack and My Chemical Romance.

My favorite new artist is Hellogoodbye.

Posted by Speed (Member # 5162) on :

I'm glad someone finally got that. I was beginning to think I was the only one who'd grown up in the '80s. [Smile]

Posted by human_2.0 (Member # 6006) on :

Holly Brook was actually quite nice. Can't figure out how to buy her stuff though...

I heard this song on the Radio last week and loved it (iTunes link):
Mushaboom (by Feist)

Speed, I just saw your AIM id-are you referring to Red Dwarf?
Because oddly enough, my chat name is "Lister's Girl"
How cool is that? I put you on my buddy list so at least once Lister's Girl can talk with Lister! [Smile]

Posted by Speed (Member # 5162) on :

Sweet! Red Dwarf is the shiz-nit!

Posted by divaesefani (Member # 3763) on :

Anna Nalick is my new favorite artist too! She was pretty much the only one I listened to during labor and recovery at the hospital when my son was born two weeks ago. Her and Jason Mraz, but he's not new.

Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :

But his new album is new!
