    The Beat: Music Artists YOU Should Know!
    Aaron gives some insight into some amazing music artist that you should know if you don't know already.

    Leona Lewis:
    I'm just learning about her but this song she has out called "Bleeding Love" is amazing. Apparently she is the third winner on the show The X Factor which seems to be the British version of American Idol. I love her voice and the song is just great as well as the beat of course. Her debut album titled "Spirit" is set to be released on November 13, 2007. I will definitely be reviewing this one!

    Still many people are sleeping on this very talented artist, but I'm here to let you know if you don't know Tweet then you are depriving yourself of amazing music. Her first album "Southern Hummingbird" was an instant classic, contrary to what many thought due to the singles she released. Now gearing up to release her third album "Love, Tweet" slated to be released on April 8, 2008 she has recently put out what is known as a Buzz-single call "My Dear" featuring T.I. Not her best work by far but it does give you some idea what direction she might be taking this time around. Also be sure to check out this link to hear songs from the new album...I think this pretty much sums up why she is so amazing and why I like her music so much.


    OneRepublic: Not being biased at all because they have hooked up with the best producer ever Timbaland, these guys are really good and obviously smart because within the past couple of years everything Timbaland seems to touch is an automatic hit. They debuted on Timbaland's "Shock Value" cd on a song called "Apologize", which recently hit the #2 spot on the Billboard top 100 singles chart. I love this song not only because its great and the lyrics are amazing but also because it crosses many genres of music as well. Their album is set to be released on November 20, 2007.


    Blake Lewis:
    Many of you may recognize him as the runner-up in the past season of American Idol. I'm not a big fan of his first single "Break Anotha" but because he's from Seattle I have reason enough to support. Check out his MySpace to hear his song.


    Keri Hilson: This woman has amazing talent that world has witnessed yet didn't know it came from her. Why is that you ask? Because she has been mostly behind the scenes writing songs and singing background vocals for the likes of Ciara, Pussy Cat Dolls, Jennifer Lopez, Chris Brown and most recently on the new Britney Spears album. She is signed to Zone4/Mosley Music Group/Interscope and can be heard on the chart topping single off of Timbaland's "Shock Value" album on the song "The Way I Are".  Her debut album "In a Perfect World" is slated for a 2008 release. Check out one of my favorite songs by her called "Where did he go?"
