Any underrated singers that you like and could recommend? Also, what are some of your favourite songs by this singer? Kristine Sa is severly underrated, and is a good singer and an even better song writer.

I love The Truth Is by her. It was a song set to the that really beautiful piano song you hear when you first turn on FFX-2 and you see the New Game/Load game menu. Kristine turns out to be an Final Fantasy fan so it was sorta like a tribute. :)

Another really good song by her is The Ocean's Sky. I'm talking the old rare version of it, not the new version that you can get off iTunes. The iTunes version is horrible. I like how Kristine sings vietnamese for some lines in the song, since she always sings English.

Toby Lightman and Bonnie McKee.

They're 2 of my favorite artists, nobody has heard of them but I think they're super-talented.

Joshua Radin (http://www.joshuaradin.com/).

Listen to the song Winter on his site, it's lovely.

I'm really big fan of model/ singer/ actor Grace Jones.
Grace Jones started out as a high fashion model which led to
her debut album in 1977: Portfolio.
After three disco albums she became the queen of New Wave music;
she scored a couple of hit songs back in the 80's such as: Pull Up
to the Bumper, Love Is the Drug, Private Life, My Jamaican Guy,
Demolition Man, Slave to the Rhythm and so on.

I hate to admit this but her music has always been outshoned by
her outrageous persona/ image. And even though she is
one of the most recognizable women in the world, her music
remains underrated.

Check some of her music out here:
