ArtistoftheWeek:Amerie10/24/11-10/31/11

Amerie is an act that people would like to describe as a, "One-hit wonder". With her song, 1 Thing, she swept over the urban music industry with her sass, passion, drive, and with a little help with Eve, she had a one-hit that was used in commercials, movies, and television shows. But before her hit, she had a nice debut album out. Feauturing elements of neo-soul and 90's style R&B into the album, All I Have. Her first album was reviewed well by her target audience. People couldn't wait for her next album. When she came out with Touch, she really showed her true self through her Pop/R&B songs with some elements of Asian pop into her songs (because of her cultural background and personal experience with Korea, she's heard and listened to music from Korea and Japan growing up). After her hit she had a spat with her record label and was drop. Forced to find another label, that released her third album everywhere except for North America. Years later she was able to find a new label that would take her catchy Pop/R&B styles and help her release her fourth album, In Love & War.

ArtistoftheWeek:Martin Solveig10/17/11-10/24/11

You may know this DJ best from the song Hello (ft. Dragonette). His work has been building up for making a great song like that. Looking back to his music works he's been long overdue for one of his songs to hit into the American Radio Waves. He recieved a pair of turntables when he was a kid and has been fooling around with the sounds since. Making new and more innovative music for his fans and goofing around a bit with the beats.
With his most recent album, SMASH, he brings in the elements of commercial pop elements and puts them into the style of his music. With songs like, "We Came To Smash", and "Ready To Go" which features sounds of dubstep a growing trend in the music industry.
Solveig's album might not be a hot topic to most, but I'm sure that one day he will get to the top of the charts in the future the way he's going!

ArtistoftheWeek:Uffie10/10/11-10/17/11

How can I explain Uffie? Well...She parties harder than Ke$ha that's for sure! Who knew that the underground party scenes were so much better than the commercial party scenes? (The french). Anyways, this French-American musician rocks out her rapping skills and makes her beats flow as she gives out her autobiographical lines to her audience. Since the release of her single, "Difficult", critics and new fans have been taking her seriously, with her work and talent. I highly recommend you that if you want to start your party with Uffie right, check out her song, "Difficult". She'll have you hooked to her style of partying in no time.You should check her out, and if you're hosting a party soon, don't forget to invite the

ArtistoftheWeek:Eve & the Ocean10/3/11-10/10/11

Eve and the Ocean, is a side project made by Tia Brazda. This project/ artist is well known for her song, Sammy Decter (This Is Your Life) which featured on the ABC Family movie, Cyberbully. She This Canadian Singer/Songwriter's side project released an EP called Stars and Storms. The EP is filled with songs of pure pop and rock elements and lyrics directed to a general audience (most likely females in need of love). Yet, there's a certain thing about the songs that makes them so universal. You should check them out, and listen to them yourself, it's too hard to describe. I'm sure that if you've been liking the artists on ArtistoftheWeek, you'll love Eve And The Ocean. She's a treat. (Despite the picture right next to this..)

ArtistoftheWeek:Younha9/26/11-10/3/11

Younha is an Asian Singer/Songwriter, best known for her song, Houki Boushi that featured on the hit Anime, Bleach. She has been singing and working with the Japanese/Korean Music Industry since the huge hit. Switching back and forth promoting her music, and singing in two different languages, for her fans.
Her music has been deemed as catchy, fun, and somewhat melancholic.
Nowadays, she has been releasing new music trying to step out of the box of her huge hit, and branch out to certain styles and genres of music she would like to do.
As much as Younha would like everyone to acknowledge her talents as she grows as a famous Korean musician, she would still like it if people just listen and enjoy the music.

ArtistoftheWeek:Skylar Grey[Pt. II]9/19/11-9/26/11

Holly Brook, has had a rough couple of years before she started to pave through the music industry as Skylar Grey.
She was so broke that she lived in the woods for a while. Yeah it was pretty bad.

Thankfully she was "rescued" by Alex da Kid, and they have both featured/co-wrote on big songs like, Love The Way You Lie, Coming Home, and many other popular hip-hop/rap songs. Now she is touring and working on promoting her next album, Invinsible (how it is supposed to be spelled) this Fall. Skylar Grey has said that her album is an emotionally eclectic collection of songs, from fun to sad to relaxing and to contemplative. She's going all out on this album. I'm sure that her debut will be a big one this year.

ArtistoftheWeek:Holly Brook[Pt. I]9/12/11-9/19/11

Holly Brook's musical style is perfect for rainy days. You may know her best from the song, Where'd You Go by Fort Minor, where she gained her popularity. She released her album, Like Blood Like Honey in 2006. The songs on the album really shows Holly's talent as a singer/songwriter. Even though her album achieved some success, album sales were not to the label's expectations. So she ended her relationship with her record label. Now Holly has changed her name and is now releasing a new album.
