All of these artist discoveries have been thanks to my latest A Song A Day curator (Janet Choi, YOU DA BEST). I've enjoyed listening to this music so much that I had to share some of it here.
Kaia Kater. Beautiful lyrics and Americana sound (even though she's Canadian)! Love love love.

Jacob Collier. Holy smokes, this kid! Apparently he writes/arranges, records, produces, and performs everything himself. The song that got me hooked was his cover of "In My Room" but honestly, everything he does is pretty phenomenal.

The Lemon Twigs. I listened to their album Do Hollywood and concluded that they're trying to be the Beatles, Queen, and The Who all at once, and it is great. Also, they're only 17 and 19 years old!

MAGIK*MAGIK. Beautiful new music straight from San Francisco (well in this case, the Fox Theater in Oakland).
