Wale - “New Soul”
Chiddy Bang and Kid Cudi got a lot of coverage in the last year. But my favorite newcomer of 2009 was D.C. rapper, Wale.

Fool’s Gold - “Nadine”
More often than not, the vocals are in Hebrew. The band plays Afropop. And they’re from L.A. It all sounds strange, but it’s one of the best new albums I’ve heard in a long time. Do yourself a favor going into the New Year and buy this album.

I’m loving Phantogram’s music. No full-length album yet. In the meantime, check out their tunes on the hype machine.

CocoRosie - “Happy Eyez”
Above is a picture of one of the two sisters that make up CocoRosie. It shouldn’t surprise you if you hear the influence of Bjork on CocoRosie’s vocals . I think they shop for clothes at the same place too.
