Does anyone here listen to Basia? SHe's turning out to be one of my favorite artists. Incredible voice and her fusion of jazz/pop is just one killer combination! I just bought her live on broadway disc and wow, i was totally blown away. My favourite tracks are "Copernicus", "Third Time Lucky", and "Reward".

I'm looking for artists who have a similar sound that basia has. The closest i've found is swing out sister (IMO, basia is better). Anyone here know of other artists? Doesn't have to be exactly the same sound but fairly similar.

thanks!

Why not try CD Now to see which artists they say are comparable?? They generally have a feature "Customers who bought Basia also ordered yada yada yada."

yeah i've tried that already and nothing really caught my attention. i got some matt bianco stuff but it's not as gripping as the basia albums.

People who like Basia usually mention Julia Fordham in the same breadth.

Might check out the song samples of Julia's "Concrete LOve" at her site--

Go to "Listen & buy"---I had not thought of Fordham & Basia before, but I can hear how some might like both.
