For every up, there is a down. For black, there is white. For day, lurks night. Or so The Audreys discovered following the warm embrace garnered by their debut longplayer, Between Last Night and Us. The album catapulted The Audreys on to the national stage and saw them collect the 2006 ARIA Award for Best Blues & Roots Album, but the accompanying success left them high and dry in a songwriting...

Credits go to t-mobile for introducing me to Obél's music! T-mobile is following the trend Apple started (don't know for sure who started it) to feature songs from (female) singer-songwriters in their commercials, which proves now once again, is great to discover great new music! Obél is a Danish singer, songwriter and musician who now lives in Berlin. She began playing the piano as a child, an.

I found Gileah and the Ghost Train through Gileah Taylor the lead singer of the band that also has a soloalbum called: The Golden Planes which I highly recommend as well. Therefore "Be The One" a track from that album is added as a bonus! In Gileah and the Ghost Train, Gileah's voice is just as beautiful as on her debut solo album, but now together with Ava Quigley's voice and the rest of the ...

Selah Sue is another discovery through MySpace, she has been in my friendlist for quite a while now, and would've been still, if a friend of mine had not reminded me of her talent. I revisited her MySpace, and fell in love with this girl's unique, edgy and mature voice. I still can't believe she's only 20 years old, a year younger than me. Her voice reminds me a bit of Amy Winehouse, and Duffy,...

Lowood's yet another talented duo from Scandinivia. I sometimes wonder if music is in people's genes over there. Why else are there so many great musicians from Scandinavia? (click to see all featured artitsts from scandinavia on LMLI) Lowood also has the "unique" scandinavian sounding songs, that you would never find in the Netherlands (for example). Give it a listen!Therese Johansson, the ma...

On Lightning Love’s debut disc, November Birthday, the Ypsilanti-based band combine sweet, childish sounds with themes about growing up and growing pains. This subject is laid bare right at the beginning on opener on “Work Today”, when singer Leah Diehl, accompanied only by some lonely keyboards, dreads the thought of going to work and admits she still needs someone to pick up after her.

The Jezabel are a thing that came out of a few chance meetings at Sydney University. You see, Heather and Hayley had been playing music together for a while. Inevitably came the journey south from Byron - being their place of youth - to Sydney for a foray into higher education. Nik and Sam were studying at Sydney University also. And you know, for some reason you just meet people...We don't hav...

Emily Wells is an anomaly among musicians most of whom spend their careers striving for a major label deal. Before she was old enough to vote, a major label was courting Wells, two music-publishing companies were competing for the rights to her songs and she was recording with award winning producers. By the time she was legally buying her first drink, however, Emily had chosen a different path...

In the first song I heard of The Bridges the vocals sounded a bit like one of my favorite bands Eisley. Which got me interested right away. While listening to the rest of their songs, the eisley comparison kinda went away. But overall the Bridges are definitely worth a listen.The Brdiges , whose members range in age from 18 to 24, consists of siblings Natalie Byrd (piano and guitar), Stacey By...

Unfortunately I can't remember the first time that I find out about Leerone's music, I bet it was somewhere on the internet. All I can recall that her name was one I've never heard before ( an Israelian name?) and I was really wondering how you should pronounce her name, something I still haven't figured out.Leerone was born in the Israeli port city of Haifa. Her family relocated to America w...

Lost in the Trees's new album "All Alone In An Empty" was released not long ago, but immediately made it to my favorite albums of this year. Lost in the Trees' style varies from folk to classical instrumental strong composed pieces. And although there are nine of them they've managed to create a very intimate and personal sound. Brilliant stuff! Lost in the Trees is a folk orchestra from Cha...

I've been following Alessi, she's called Alessi's Ark now, for quite a while now, and I was happy to see that's she's been given a chance to share her talent with the world. Give her a chance, i'm sure you won't regret it! Alessi is a magical creature that lives in West London. I think of her as this unique eighteen-year-old girl who is very excited, very alert, and very open to the world of ...

When I discovered The Secret History a while ago, they only had a few demos at their MySpace, which I liked, now they've released their debut EP. After listening to it a few times, it was clear to me that this band won't be a secret for long, and not history soon. The Secret History was formed in 2007 by songwriter Michael Grace Jr., best known for acclaimed cult indie pop band My Favorite. T...

Within her swooping, fluty tones, you may hear the ghost of torch singers past whispering velvety and soft, or the roar of a mistreated lioness. Her voice has been compared with those of Judy Garland, Rickie Lee Jones and Maria McKee, but her sound is all her own. Lex Land has lived her 21 years entirely in Southern California, from the High Sierra mountains to the sparkling coast, and knows ...

It was back in 2006, (I checked at last.fm) when I discovered The Feverfew. And since this blog started in the end of 2007, it got lost in all the music I discovered in that year, but now is your chance to catch up! As a singer-songwriter in New York City, it's easy to get lost. Every night, hundreds of performers sit at tiny tables with their guitars, waiting for their turn to play a song a...

She grew up listening to the greats of country music (Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton) and the legends of folk and fusion (Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Leonard Cohen). Lindi's music draws from these influences, mixes in a h...
