Feist
If Feist reigns supreme in your music library (adored her appearance on Sesame Street), these songbirds might strike your fancy, too.
Imogen Heap
Sure, Imogen wears crazy outfits to award shows, but she's an artist for goodness sake. Hailing from London, Imogen's sound is reminiscent of Björk (who also wears crazy outfits) with a nice mix of electronica. Graceful and passionate. Love that red dress, too.
Sara Bareilles
Piano-playing Sara was born in California and combines intelligent, playful songwriting with melodies that sparkle. Her performance this week on Live From Abbey Road was great and revealed that she's a strong and smart young lady. Her first pop-hit was Love Song, which is not about romantic love. The inspiration behind the song came from continual requests by her record label for more songs because they were unhappy with those she had written - argh.
Ingrid Michaelson
A true New Yorker, you've probably heard Ingrid's songs before, but you just don't realize it. Songs like Breakable and Keep Breathing have been featured on Grey’s Anatomy and Old Navy used The Way I Am in a commercial. She was criticized by die hard fans as they wanted to think of Ingrid as their own. But hey, a girl's got to pay the rent.
Bess Rogers
I added Bess after reading Stephanie's recommendation and purchased her album from iTunes. A little reminiscent of Regina Spektor. Lovely.
Have a lyrical weekend everyone!

Delightful blog :) Have you ever heard Bess Rogers? If you haven't, you should; I'm just guessing from the above listed singers that you might like it!
Funny I just went on a downloading spree a couple of hours before reading this post. 4 of these ladies ended up in my iTunes. Rawk!
I honestly feel as if Imogen and Ingrid should hold a concert in my back yard. Perfect taste in music my friend!
thanks stephanie - love her!
no way rashida! let's have a party and invite ourselves over to mrs. french's house ;)!
awesome post...
Love, Love, Love Imogen Heap! Have a wonderful weekend.
I adore Imogen's music and I give her props for staying true to herself and did not sell out. I never thought there would be anyone else who thought Imogen and Bjork have similarities.
Oh my goodness! Hello kindred spirit! I love all of these, though, Bess is a new one for me! I'll have to go explore that one!
yay and you are right about imogen ann! next time i better include the boys, or someone will feel like he's not being represented ;).
