If you like Ne Yo Drake, Jay-Z, and Kanye West, then you have to listen to the featured artist of the week with Devon Michael. The best part about Devon Michael is his originality. You get more than one speed of music from this album. It travels from great driving music, to the dance floor, to the street, and to the bedroom. It is impossible to get bored with this album, because there's is no one constant. It makes the listener wonder what the next song will bring.

Those of us who love Pandora will especially enjoy Musicovery, an "interactive webRadio." Here's how it works: you pick a main genre, such as classical, soul, pop, etc. Then you pick a "mood" within that genre; this could be anything from energetic to positive to dark. after that, you'll get a visual representation of your musical selections all looped together, and you can zip around from bubble to bubble as the whim strikes you. Musicovery is a nice way to find music that I wouldn't have thought of, and while it does need some tweaking (why no playlists?), and it's definitely not a Pandora-killer, it's still a great way to plug into and explore your favorite music. Oh, and no registration required - just start listening away. - Wendy Boswell

The first episode of 2010 goes to a well deserved Industrial rock artist.

Check out this weeks artist spotlight with music from a gifted contemporary pop artist, Lindsay aline from San Francisco, Ca. She is so talented, her voice will absolutely amaze you. Radio show, Episode 54: http://bit.ly/Laline Featured Interview http://bit.ly/bsiQEG This full length album is a track filled showcase of aline's tremendous vocal talent and her ability as a seasoned pianist. The flagship of the Illusion CD is by far, "Reach". The modern style melodies absolutely compliments aline's powerful and emotionally charged voice which is no less than phenominal. The story of the song is an abstract tale about the struggle that comes with finding the love of her life and maintaining that spark that drew them together.
