#1 Gemma Hayes (22 Votes)There is a reason why Gemma Hayes has won this title, despite the fact that the other artists were voted once or twice, Hayes has a talent to not only pull you into her music but to also make you feel something more than just the surface of a song. She intertwines emotional vocals, repetitive guitar sounds, beautiful lyrics all wrapped together into a stunning song. With songs like, "Let A Good Thing Go" & "Hanging Around", it's no shock that she became a hit in Ireland. With her second album, The Roads Don't Love You, it was her pop album but she didn't distance away from her true self, her true style. She made songs like, "Two Step", that has been featured on Grey's Anatomy and "Happy Sad". Here best songs from the album are, "Another for The Darkness" and "Horses". She took a break from music and then came back with another album filled with the ideas and styles of Gemma Hayes. The Hollow of Morning, focused on the themes of love, loss, loneliness, breaking up, and lingering. Her song, "Out Of Our Hands" became a radio hit in Ireland in 2008 and "Home" followed shortly after the album release with an amazing music video to go along with it. She then released the Oliver EP which was a darker and more mellow sound of Hayes work than the previous releases. Now she is planning on releasing a new album in May of 2011 and has written some songs for Abagail Breslin to sing in the movie Janie Jones.
Gemma Hayes is an amazing artist and the work she has done to get herself this far is astounding.
