new music!

i guess it's been a while...

1. leona lewis.
true she won the british version of american idol. but with a voice that sounds like a mix of mariah and whitney, what's not to like?

2. will hoge.
will comes highly recommended from nick. i'm a little bummed i had plans on saturday night because it would have been nice to check him out live at the state theater. i guess i'll just have to settle with the cd for now.

3. brett dennen.
brett is one of rolling stone's artists to watch in 2008. what does he sound like? well, his myspace page describes his music as folk rock/pop/indie. but don't take my word for it - go have a listen for yourself!

4. mambo sauce.
go-go's back! well, did it ever go away? in a nod to dc's own chuck brown, dc-based mambo sauce brings go-go up to speed in the 21st century. and with an ode to dc ("welcome to dc") with lyrics like, "even the mayor had a run in with crack," what's not to love?

5. chelsea lee.
you probably won't believe me when i tell you she is only 16 years old. well, she is. and she gives it away with her giddy stage presence (i just saw her at jj), but you can't tell from her voice.
