This is the first of a weekly post that I'll be doing called Check It Out. I'm always discovering indie artists on the internet, especially MySpace, and whenever I find an artists that I like I'll leave a link to their page so you can hear their music and then you can come back and discuss their music with each other. All of it may not be new, but that doesn't matter if it's music that I think is worth listening to.
Pick #1
Voice
Lyrical / Hip Hop / Progressive
New Orleans, LA
Voice is the answer to what's been missing in Hip-Hop since Lauryn Hill disappeared from the music scene. Listening to her for the first time is like drinking a cool glass of water after you've been outside in the sun all day. It's musical refreshment after suffering a drought of female MC's that don't have anything of substance to say.
Oh, and she has FREE download of her MySpace Only Mix-Tape. Get it. I did. You won't regret it.

Pick #2
Gaelle
Progressive / Electronica / Soul
Atlanta, GA
The future is now. That's the realization you come to when listening to Gaelle. She expertly mixes R&B, House, Electronica, and Trance together to get music with a chill and laid back, yet futuristic sound. This, mixed with thoughtful and poignant lyrics makes for a listening experience that leaves you captivated.

Pick #3
Q. Dixon
Soul / Neo-soul / Ambient
Los Angeles, CA
With vocals that can go from smooth & buttery to passionate & earthy, Q. Dixon will have you transfixed with her tales about the ups and downs of love from the moment she sings the first note. Nuf said.
