With so much to catch up on, I'm having a hard time choosing what to blog about right now. I missed a lot of
GOOD music during my hiatus including a shit-ton of up and coming artists that deserve a shot based on sheer talent alone. Here's are a couple of those artists to watch out for.

| Reni Lane |
Reni Lane - New Album/Free Remixes -
Reni Lane is a super talented classically-trained singer/songwriter from Oregon, raised in Virginia who now lives in New York City. Her album
Ready was just released on
Custard/Universal/Motown Records and features a blend of pop and rock beats all brought together by Lane's lovely vocals. Reni Lane's voice and musical style is
PERFECTLY suited to remixers, who already have hopped on the bandwagon. "
Place For Us" is the first single released from the album and you can even
download 4 free remixes by
RAC,
Monsieu Adi,
Will Eastman and
Glitter&Blitz + 1 remix of "Runaway Train" also by Glitter&Blitz. That's quite the package deal! Download her album on
iTunes OR 7Digital (for $5.00). She's on tour now so check her out if you get the chance. Check out a video mix
here using the Glitter&Blitz remix of "Place For Us." Hot.

Matthew P - Keep On Swimming - UK Singer/Songwriter
Matthew P is as talented as he is good looking. His voice calls to mind a little bit of
James Morrison mixed with
Daniel Merriweather and a dash of
Calvin Harris (the voice...not the music). His EP,
Swimming was released on January 25th and features 5 lovely stripped down, soulful tracks. While you can't find this EP in the U.S. right now, hopefully that will change. For now,
go listen to these five 30 second clips. You won't be disappointed! If you like what you hear you can even download a free track on his
Facebook or
MySpace pages, called "
Keep On Swimming." It's a cute track sung beautifully by Matthew P. Matthew is going on tour in April throughout the UK so make sure and check him out! Watch the video for "
End Of The World"
