Black Eyed Peas - Meet Me Halfway
I've gotta say I'm surprised this song didn't get more listens. It's a bit like a slow-dancing ballad, but with the drums. And what a creative video, BEP are certainly good at their stuff. They are really good at making very very catchy beats and lyrics.
Via Tania - Wonder Stranger
Born in Australia to South African parents, Tania Bowers began playing with her sister Kim in noise-pop outfit "Spdfgh" around Sydney in the early 90s. Subsequently after their break up, she embarked on her own solo project, moving to Chicago. She started work on her first album, with producer Casey Rice (who's also her husband) and various Chicago musical luminaries, with a focus on production, electronics and sound, and the songs acting as vessel for said sounds. This resulted in her debut album "Under a Different Sky" which received critical acclaim, and thereafter, there was a new direction for her second album "Moon Sweet Moon", from which this song was taken from.
Barzin - Nobody Told Me
One of the few male singer/songwriters, he reminds me a bit of Mayer Hawthorne, but more stripped down. Maybe more Ray LaMontagne with the lyrics, the melancholy and introspectiveness, but definitely different voice altogether.
