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.

ArtistoftheWeek:Algebra Blessett9/5/11-9/12/11

Algebra has been growing musically as an artist since she was discovered by Kedar in 2006. Her style is a neo-soul feel with some modern R&B thrown in the mix of her songs. Lyrically she's amazing, her songwriting is strongest in her song, "I Know," a song she made and only released through the Girlfriends Soundtrack. Her song, "Run & Hide," became a free download on iTunes a couple years ago. This gave her a way to show her soulful talents to everyone, from
people who don't like soul, to people who love soul,even to people who hire musicians to make soulful music. That popularity helped her get more gigs and helped her to start touring. She's been growing in the R&B music business in popularity. She has recently been featured in a new song by Anthony David called, 4evermore.
If you have an all black radio station in your town, and you listen to it daily you've heard the song play at least ten times a day.
Here's some free downloads for ya.

ArtistoftheWeek:Heypenny8/29/11-9/5/11

I found out about Heypenny from a random site when I was trying to watch a tv show online, their song, Cop Car was playing on an ad. I checked them out and when I found out about their music I automatically loved it and bought everything. Their music is so catchy and yet so indie at the same time. The melodies and the vocals are a kind of style that's for the indie music scene. They formed in Fayette, making music since 2003, releasing their first album, Use These Spoons in 2005. They released their second album in February 2011, and have recieved some recognition for the songs, "Parade" and "Cop Car".
Nonetheless the songs of this band is amazing and you should check them out.

ArtistoftheWeek:Vanessa Carlton8/22/11-8/29/11

Vanessa Carlton has been a favorite of mine since her hit, "A Thousand Miles" in 2002. Her music has hit me ever since. Through the years fans have noticed that she has grown into her own identity as a singer/songwriter. Moving from A&R records, and releasing her albums at a good regular speed, once every three years. She's been showing off her creative styles in her third album, Heroes and Thieves and have really stepped away from the piano and into the folk sounds into her recent album, Rabbits On the Run.
Vanessa Carlton may have been known for her hit, but since then she has grown out of that song into a brand new world of music. You can see how she abandons the song in the beginning of the music video, "Nolita Fairytale". Her recent single, "Carousel", still keeps the sound of Carlton, with a twist of a new sound. Reminiscent of adventure and folklore, in the song. Carousel is kind of a sampler of what is in the album, Rabbits On The Run.
Looking at all that Carlton has done with her music and in life, I see this woman becoming a cult-classic musician.
Winning a certain audience of people with her music now, until the day she retires. She has gotten what she wanted, loyal and devoted fans.
Vanessa Carlton is a musician beyond her one-hit, beyond her record label. She is a true singer/songwriter that is becoming more of herself every single day.

ArtistoftheWeek:Gomez8/15/11-8/22/11

Gomez is an English indie rock band, best know for their album, How We Operate and being covered on Grey's Anatomy. They have been featured on many television shows in the past three years since their most famous song, "How We Operate," came over to the US. They're albums have been recognized for critical acclaim and indie fans all over the earth. Hitting the indie scene with their song, "Notice," that song that gives everyone that feeling they had when someone they liked didn't notice them. As for their sound it has a hint of Americana in it. So songs sound a little country, with a twang and a fiddle in the background. Aside from all of this, Gomez is a great band and you should check them out. Especially when school's coming around.
