10. Treasa Levasseur – Low Fidelity
Levasseur is a glorious throwback full of the vitality of youth. With a voice that could melt butter and a talent for songwriting that's a step above the rest, Low Fidelity is one of the true treats of the year.

9. Lucy Wainwright-Roche – Lucy
Wainwright-Roche shows a subtlety and grace on Lucy that is incomparable. Her ability to find beauty in mundane moments sets her apart.

8. Skyler – Long Gone
Rock music with a distinctive pop sensibility inspired by pure joy. Irresistible.

MacDonald followed a top-ten, multi-platinum selling album with a more complex and incredibly mature song cycle that will make you forget she's all but 22 years old.

A no holds barred musical assault that's well written, driven and full of the unabashed energy of punk rock. Jarvis is a tour-de-force.
