The recent focus in the world of audio has been on those we have lost. I'd like to try and focus on what's new and who could possibly become the next generation's stars. We can't keep buying reissues of the same old people, can we?? What I am going to do is list my favorite young (under 30) artists (I hate using "best" for lists like this) that I've either seen or watched (TV or web) perform live. Selfishly, with these types of lists, I am looking for other favorites that I don't know about!!
Rock/Pop
Ella Henderson - mix of old and new. If she keeps her head on she will go far
Emeli Sande - Power, grace and emotion. She has it all
Miley Cyrus - Focus on her music like the backyard session and stay away from her rebellious phase.
Aurora - Love voices like hers.
Rebecca Ferguson - my favorite for long term potential!
Jazz
Gregory Porter - already a force. Love his tone.
Miz Elizabeth - If you haven't seen the Hot Sardines and love upbeat jazz you are missing something.
Cecile McLorn Savant - old school meets modern music.
Mary Halvorson - Lone "musician" on this list. She can play!!
Esperanza Spaulding - When I first saw her she didn't utter a word. When next, she sang I was smitten.
Classical/Opera
Don't even want to list the young talent show phenoms as I can't imagine what they are doing to their voices long term so I give you these three who have all performed for major companies;
Maria Agresta - Have to have an italian!! Power and control.
Merideth Arwady - as was said "extraordinary instrument"
Sasha Cooke - versatile and beautiful tone.
Laquita Mitchell - Can't wait for her to grow into that voice. She has the chops!
Now show me yours.
