I strongly recommend
Ane Brun (again sadly most people don't get to hear this on the airwaves, she has a non-commercial name and hey, she's from Norway
). Embarrasingly talented with unconventional voice and great guitar playing. If you're a fan of PJ Harvey, Feist, Nick Drake etc......
Beautiful, romantic with a side order of menace
Also features another fabulous singer songwriter dueting with her, Ron Sexsmith.
