I'm new to this group but I just got a pre-release copy of a new CD from a friend and it's really good so I had to share. The artist is new and her name is Arden Kaywin and she's an awesome pop singer/songwriter and she sounds kind of like Michelle Branch, Alanis Morissette and Sarah McLachlan. The CD is called "Quarter Life Crisis" (which, being about ready for my quarter life crisis, I can relate to) and I've fallen in love with the music and the lyrics. So you should really all check it out.
You can hear some of her stuff from the CD on her website:
http://www.ardenkaywin.com or on her myspace page:

I'm glad to be in this group and I hope to hear about other new artists through all of you!
