The ~New Artists I'm trying out~ thread

[Surreal17]

New artists this month: Jay Chou, Madonna & Taylor Swift.

Right now I'm listening to Madonna's Ray Of Light - can't believe how good this album is (somehow reminds me of Ayu's Rainbow and of some Bjork songs)!! I always tried to avoid her for some stupid reasons..

As for Jay Chou,he's a totally phenomen: he composes all his music,writes some of his lyrics,can play 15 instruments (according to wiki) and his music variates from rap, R'n'b, hip hop, rock, traditional chinese, pop, electronica, classical, country..etc He is very different from everything I've listened until now and he's the first that really "caught my attention" since I discovered Ayu - I can say he's the male version of Ayu regarding his versatility. Highly recommended!!
