Jem – Come on Closer

All the tracks from Jems debut album have been scattered around my playlists since 2004.
Excellent stuff.
Definitely due for some new fresh tracks from Jem

Anne Marie Almedal – “Joy” from the album “The Siren & The Sage”

This is a great album, very chilled and relaxing. Every track is quality.
Some tracks do vier off towards Enya style, but not dangerously so.

It is her first solo work after being in Velvet Belly

If you are outside of Norway you can buy her CD from http://www.cdon.com/

Her latest self titled album is totally up to her usual standards

I had not seen this video before, the title track from her 2003 album.

Siobhan Donaghy – Don’t Give It Up

This was a pleasant surprise. I wasn’t expecting a great deal after her pretty weak first solo album “Revolution in Me”. There are some interesting ideas going on with “Ghosts”, and the production is solid.
It’s probably as poppie as I am going to get.

Taken By Trees – Julia

This album got a lot of plays this summer. Sweet, catchy and simple

Taken By Trees – Lost and Found

This girl is just too creative. You must check out her website for the best audio player I have ever seen! (Shame there isn’t a volume control to make it Work Safe…)

Sia – “Sunday” from the album “Colour The Small One”

Poe rocks.

It always amazes me that she has never become more popular…
Her two albums “Haunted” and “Hello” still hold up very well indeed.

Poe – ‘Hello’ from the album ‘Hello’

Lots of jolly tunes on the self titiled album by “The Bird and the Bee”

There is also a live set online over at NPR
