Alicia Keys
Her new single has got me shook. I'm addicted, already wore out that youtube video.
Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart

Sounds a bit like Leona Lewis' joint from last year but much better. The yearning vocal strains at the beginning, the (sooo 2009) swirly synths and the numerous soaring choruses all come together to make that cooked crack. I dare you not to be singing along to the whole damn thing after like 2 listens.
It will be over-used and out of control in about 6 days, but for now, its filling my radio pop music void that I have been neglecting since Cassie - Me and You http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLVvtj1to_8
The first ones free, but you'll come back for more.
Bonus question: Alicia Keys; hot or not?
