Days 23-28

Do to some family drama I have not been able to post since Tuesday of last week.  I'm a little upset with myself for having to keep "catching" up with these challenges.  Ryan did this challenge for me as an easy one and I am finding myself getting more busy as the month goes on and finding time to do these are getting harder....I refuse to give up on these challenges and I need to find a time that will be set aside for "mandatory" posting.  Well I only have 2 more days left of this challenge and I will be starting a new one so this time has got to be set right away!

Day 23- 
This artist was a suggestion from a friend of mine, I told her I would check her out and now I am!
First impression--SHE IS BEAUTIFUL! Now lets talk about her music! But first a little about her-- she is from NC...Monroe, NC and studied at UNC Greensboro.  She just learned how to play the guitar 3 years ago and is now on the show The Voice.  http://www.karladavismusic.com/TheKarlaDavisOfficialWebsite/NEWS.html
there's the website to check her out.

Her voice is so soulful and I love her all of her cover songs from various artists.  My favorite is her cover of Adele's Set Fire to The Rain.  What I like about it is that its her rendition of it and she proves that you dont have to have the cords like Adele to make a song beautiful.

I hope she does great on the show and I hope that this will give America a chance to hear her music because she is a very talented young lady!

Day 24
Imperial Teen

I have never heard of them, but they have been around for the past 16 years.  They are a quartet with 2 guys and 2 girls.  When I heard their song I thought they were a younger band but after I went on their website I found to be wrong! Their music is very pop and uppity (is that a word?)   I liked it...not something I was crazy about, but their good.  Their bio doesn't tell much about them just more so about their music...so here is the link to their site and check them out!

The song I choose is Runaway and is off of their new album Feel the Sound

Day 25
Michael Kiwanuka

WOW!  I googled "new artists" and he was the first to come up and gosh I am so glad he did!  AMAZING voice and his song Home Again is so emotionally moving.   From London, he has been labeled the male Adele....here is his website but I really dont care to talk much more about him cause you HAVE to listen to his music!

Day 26

ummm I am loving Billboard's website right now!  Elle King is the second person up on the new artists list and again--Holy Cow!  This girl is awesome!  Elle King is actually the daughter of Rob Schnieder (Duece Bigaloo Male Gigalo)..surprising when you see this girl and hear her voice...I can not find a website for her...I just found her on you tube and IMDB where I found out who her dad was.. She now lives in Brooklyn working on her music and also works at a tattoo parlor...so here is her video called "I Told You I Was Mean"

Day 27



ZZ Ward
I like this girl!  She has got such a powerful voice...and I like how mean she sounds.  She is a bluesy rapper which you would think is strange but its absolutely awesomeness....her website is not working well with me at the time so I can't find out where she is from or how long she has been around but check it out and check out her other songs cause they are pretty fabulous.  I will be downloading many of her songs!

Day 28
Duologue...
very cool band...I wish their website was a little more user friendly--that was annoying.  Can't find much about them, they are a folky band but are compared to RadioHead--WHO I LOVE..so I really do like this band...plan on downloading more of thier music soon!  The first song I heard from them is a little long but very relaxing and smooth.
