Musicians Who Should Be More Widely Known


I listen to music whenever I can get the chance. I love Maroon 5, P!nk, Kelly Clarkson, Rihanna, The Lonely Island (they're funny, I don't care), and a lot more, but I'm not writing this about all of my favorite unpopular artists. I want to spread the word about the talented ones that are unheard. There are so many untalented singers who make millions and don't deserve it for example Ke$ha's music is auto-tuned and the lyrics have no meaning, Nicki Minaj is in no way, shape, or form rap (or talented), etc.
Terraplane Sun is a great band that should be more widely known. Their music is so fresh and fun. My favorite song of theirs is "Stuck In The Middles" and "Get Me Golden".
The second band I'd like to present is The Ready Set. Now maybe you've heard them, they are somewhat popular, but I feel they should be acknowledged more. They recently release a short tune about Taylor Swift that I find hilarious (sorry Swifties). The song is called "For The Better". Another great song they sing is called "Killer".
Marina and the Diamonds is probably on of my favorites. She is more known in the UK. Her new album "Electra Heart" is absolutely amazing. Her lyrics are very truthful and I love it! A song I'd suggest you listen to is "HOW TO BE A HEART BREAKER"
Next is Evanescence, I'm still not quite sure how to say the name, but that doesn't matter, their music is so strong and powerful. I'd suggests listening to "Everybody's Fool" or "My Immortal" both great, beautiful songs.
One of my favorites is, JJAMZ. They're new band, I found them through Maroon 5, because James Valentine, one of  their guitar players, also plays guitar for this band. They're an indie super-group. They just released a new album "Suicide Pact". It has great songs, that will kind of remind you of 80's music. From their songs I suggest listening to "Hearbeat" or "Never Enough".
I'm sure everyone's heard of Christina Perri, but she's kind of disappeared after her song "Jar of Hearts" went viral. She has other great songs besides that one. Which everyone has failed to notice. My personal favorites are "Arms" and "Distance" ft. Jason Mraz.
Last, but defiantly not least is Alexandra Stan. Her song "Mr. Saxobeat" was a big hit last year, but she also has great songs including her single "Lemonade"

I hope this blog was interesting considering it's my first one, and I strongly suggest looking up all of the songs I mentioned on YouTube, because you never know, you might like something different for a change.
