Fefe Dobson feat. Orianthi - Can't Breathe

My high school crush on Fefe Dobson has been rekindled as of late thanks to the success of her album Joy. The singles have charted well in her native Canada and across the blogosphere people are making mention of the pop-rock goddess. For a while in the last decade it seemed liked things were dunzo for Dobson, but this record demonstrates how wrong some of us were.

Colonel Reyel - Toutes Les Nuits (FRA)

French singer/rapper Colonel Reyel is having a good year so far with his first two singles Celui and Toutes Les Nuits (All the Nights) having gone #1 on the charts. I've checked out clips from his debut album Au rapport and they sound pretty decent. It's got a lot of zouk influences, which is a genre that originates from the French Caribbean and has gained global popularity over the years.
