I’d like to find some new music and this thread seemed like a good way to get a wide range of suggestions.

In late 2012, Emma Hewitt released two albums: Burn the Sky Down and Starting Fires. I regret that it took me this long to discover them. I can’t get enough.

Emma Hewitt is known as a trance vocalist (trance is a type of electronic dance music) and has done the vocals for many of the top producers. These two albums will probably never be played at any clubs (although the remixes will). Burn the Sky Down is a collection of ethereal/pop electronic songs and Starting Fires is a collection of beautiful acoustic numbers. There is a bit of overlap between them and they are both great.

Some samples:

It’s deep minimal house music, the guys called [Hot Natured](http://mp3pole.com/search/hot-natured.html), it’s basically a collaboration of Lee Foss and Jamie Jones and I love both these guys.

I’m listening to _[Wing Beat Fantastic](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008K9BXMW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)_ by Mike Keneally & Andy Partridge. Not quite as good as a new XTC album, but close.

It’s not to be taken seriously, it’s just a fun, lightweight song, but I really like the new song by the K-Pop group Girls Generation called [“Galaxy Supernova”.](http://youtu.be/Z6FPJOgfCkc). The chorus is really catchy, in fact it brings me close to euphoria.

The group is Korean but this song is actually in Japanese and English.
