check out Ray LaMontagne- Til the sun turns black.
Some more popular artists, I don't know if you've heard of them or not:
Anna Nalick [ http://www.annanalick.com/ ] - has a decent voice and sings pop/rock as well as slow, ballad-types songs.
Brandi Carlile [ http://www.brandicarlile.com/ ] - pop with a slight country/folk angle.
Fiona Apple [ http://www.fiona-apple.com/ ] - some of her songs are a bit weird but it's worth searching out the slower songs as she has a really beautiful voice.
Imogen Heap [ http://www.imogenheap.co.uk/ ] - former lead singer of Frou Frou (most commercially known for being featured on the Garden State soundtrack), Imogen has a very nice voice, usually backed by whimsical electronic music.
And some lesser known, but equally good, artists:
The Perishers [ http://www.theperishersmusic.com/ ] - Swedish band (singing in unaccented English) that make some lovely sounding pop/rock songs. Their latest album Victorious is alright but two previous efforts, From Nothing To One and Let There Be Morning, are perfection.
Michelle Featherstone [ http://www.myspace.com/michellefeatherst... ] - sings really well on the slower songs, more folksy in style.
Missy Higgins [ http://www.missyhiggins.com/ ] - has a beautiful clear voice, sings slow songs as well as great up-tempo pop songs.
Landon Pigg [ http://www.myspace.com/landonpiggmusic ] - decent male pop singer with a nice voice and well written songs.
Bonnie McKee [ http://www.bonniemckee.com/ ] - pop singer/songwriter with a great voice.
Aidan Hawken [ http://www.myspace.com/aidanhawken ] - male singer of quirky pop songs with an interesting voice.
