If you are looking for new music, we have created a list of established artists you might know and new artists you may want to explore.
This week, we’ve added American Idol finalist music releases to the list.
1Iam Tongi
From the moment Iam Tongi opened his mouth to sing “Monster” by James Blunt during his American Idol audition, he became a viral sensation and stole America’s heart. A beautiful and emotional tribute to his father who encouraged him to audition for American Idol but passed away before he made it in front of the judges, Iam releases the lamenting track “I’ll Be Seeing You.”

2We’ Ani
A soulful-pop, singer/songwriter who spent the majority of her childhood discovering her passion for music on the streets of Harlem, NY, 23-year-old Wé Ani is known for her uniquely soft, high-pitched speaking voice but delightfully surprising deep singing voice.

3Colin Stough
Hailing from Gattman, Mississippi, Colin Stough has lived a lot of life in 18 years, and every ounce of heartbreak can be heard in his gravelly yet commanding rock-leaning voice. Dubbed “the Brad Pitt of country music” by Katy Perry, the southern-rock country artist’s bluesy ballad “I Still Talk to Jesus” highlights loneliness, loss and addiction.
