Holy crap. Lay All Your Love On Me is this amazing song, originally by ABBA, but I think the duo Sylver does it over pretty well. It sounds a bit like Greensleeves when she sings it so delicately. Their own song It's My Life is equally as sweet. In fact, I'm positive anything they did would be sweet just because of her voice. I love them so much, and they are - or at least should be - in every decent pop lovers library.
I'm really glad that I had Infernal on my list, because I run a serious risk of posting only soft singers that are more soulful. Their awesome hit From Paris to Berlin is the best song to sing along to and I guarantee i'll be singing it everywhere I go for a while. Let's go Infernal!

I hope you love September, because I do. I was hanging out on youtube and saw Party in My Head. It's this awesome dance track and I really can't resist moving around when I listen to it. I can promise you that this is on my most listened to playlist. It doesn't hurt that September's got a great voice as well. A bunch of my other loves by her are Resuscitate Me and Intimate Connection. To those rare people who miss out on September, fix that!
I think the best word to describe Olly Murs is "cute". He was the runner-up on the sixth series of The X Factor, and honestly he deserved it. Dance With Me Tonight is sort of old-fashioned, and it's definitely not modern club music, but in the privacy of your own home it's really pleasant. I played this while cleaning my desk and that made it so much more pleasant. I think its my favorite of his, but Olly Murs is worth purchasing.
I have to say, I have been WAITING for LaDolla. She was once in Sugababes and a lot of people say she was the best one. Anyways, I like her, and she just came out with something! I've seen other blogs going crazy with this too, so you can bet this is a pretty big deal. Its Vox Halo - Criminal ft. LaDolla, and i know it says its by Vox Halo, but I don't know what that's about. All I know is that LaDolla is the only one to sing it and she's AWESOME! Yay LaDolla!

For all those Beyonce lovers, here's someone to add to your undoubtedly already full library. Make way for Mutya Buena. Mutya is GORGEOUS first of all. That always helps. But even more beautiful is her voice. Honestly, Beyonce is more soothing music for me, I don't listen to her a lot. But Mutya is so good, I just listened to her so much like for a week. So that's why she's here. She also used to be in the Sugababes, who will definitely post about later. I had a really hard time choosing songs, but I'm going to give you Wonderful, it's amazing.
On the other side of the pop spectrum in Anjulie. I am personally a big fan of hers, and I love her song Brand New Bitch. I almost want to hack into Billboards system to announce this song to be number one, because it so deserves that sweet spot. Go Anjulie!

An interesting trend that I've seen with some friends, a magazine and other blogs. Believe it or not, K-pop! Yup. As it turns out, I like K-pop. I'm not a worshiper like some people I know, but the singers always have sweet voices and are literally a genre of their own.
So I'm featuring two girl groups. But just because it's K-pop! I like the female K-pop groups better for some reason...the only reason I could ever NOT like Girls Generation is because they only have one song in English, which disappoints me. But they are so good, they will definitely have more. That one English song is The Boys and its so good, and the music video is really well made too. Actually, something important about Girl's Generation: there's nine of them, and somehow they fit every single one of them in the song equally. I just have to say, that is really impressive.

I'm in a romantic mood, and a song that's perfect for serenading is Brian McFadden's Like Only A Woman Can. It brings to mind super cheesy modern musicals where teens are convinced they found true love, but when you're in a romantic mood...it's just the best thing ever.
Whoever has not heard of Vanessa Amorosi had better fix that. Vanessa's voice is super rich and while it sounds like those singers who usually do country, her style is definitely NOT country. Blow Me Away is so much fun to dance to and sing along too, I can picture it being a huge hit at a party.Until then, I have to wonder why it's not on Billboard.

Kay, a Canadian rap/pop artist is making me really happy. She's only released one song, My Name Is Kay, which in the chorus reminds me of the Ting Tings but she is infinitely better than them. She's also not a cliche rapping thing like a lot of other wannabe's and her mixing of genre's is great.
I think my figuring out how to link things five seconds ago merits a celebration in the form of Cory Lee. I'm not going to even bother to pick out a song. She's that good. There isn't too much there, but Best Shot is my recommendation. She's bouncy and while not the most original, it's good.
A really new voice! Rita Ora has a bit of a Rihanna thing going on, but even if you don't like Rihanna, give Rita a try. She's been signed by Jay-Z's label, Roc Nation. She hasn't actually released anything, but when she does, she's something to look for.
Video is half of it

Welcome to my blog!
I don't really know where to start...so I'm putting up my favorite songs of the hour.
1. Kaci Battaglia - Body Shots
house roots, four-on-the-floor beats, beat made for dancing, straight drum beats and a female vocal
2. Girlicious - Stupid S***
r & b influences, danceable grooves, a subtle use of vocal counterpoint, a subtle use of vocal harmony and mild rhythmic syncopation.
Be Warned: Explicit
3. Christian TV - When She Turns 18
male vocal, bouncy, dance beat, club dancing, guitar based, mildly electronic
4. Ke$ha - Blow
electronica influences, disco influences, a subtle use of vocal harmony, extensive vamping and minor key tonality.
