Robin Thicke We've been calling him a poor man's Justin Timberlake for ages, but wouldn't you know it, we dig his funky, sexy new "Blurred Lines" more than the latest JT snoozefest.
Estelle The British soul diva runs much deeper than "American Boy."

Neon Trees Call them the Li'l Killers if you want. This irresistible Vegas glitter-rock group is the nicest you'll ever meet; they won't mind. Last year's upbeat Picture Show was produced by Beck bassist Justin Meldal-Johnsen (M83).
