Noga Erez

My friend Jonny came across this artist when he attended a country music concert in Tennessee. Her style is completely NOT country, but the headlining artist apparently saw her at a festival and loved her vibe.

I agree. This is top notch. It's simultaneously familiar and novel—right in that sweet spot. It's suitable for easy listening, but leaves very little for the critic to dissect with dissatisfaction.

She's also got some great stuff on YouTube if you want to know how they sound in a more live setting.
