So going by that and your recommendations, I will be ordering "Breakaway".
Any other CDs you'd recommend?
Kurt Nilsen, the 2003 World Idol from Norway, has an album called "A Part of Me". He wrote all the songs. He sounds like Bono, and he's got a real knack for melodies.
I like pop-rock music, so I've been listening to Avril Lavigne's "Under My Skin" and "Let Go," Maroon 5's "Songs About Jane", Michelle Branch's "The Spirit Room" and her single from "Hotel Paper"-- "Breathe", and songs by Switchfoot and Coldplay.
One's taste is music is highly individual and personal. So its hard to recommend something without knowing what you enjoy. If you like country/rock, try the album by Montgomery Gentry. I don't know the name of it, but it's the album from which the really terrific country/rock song "Gone" was released as a single. Gretchen Wilson is the hot new artist in country/rock. You might try her "Here for the Party" album. Staying with the country genre, if you like something more soulful, try Keith Urban's "Be Here", which I think is the album that has the hauntingly beautiful "Making Memories of Us" on it (the #1 country song now).
I'm not normally a big country music fan, but do like the country/rock stuff some people are doing lately. Other than Kelly, there's nothing in the pop genre that I like these days. And I hate the so-called urban music genre: rap, hip-hop and modern R&B.
