It's more commercial than her previous releases; but it's a refreshing to her other albums as it has a good few happy songs.

I think she wrote with Xtina as an experimentation and hoping she'd get by as a writer for others but she was going through a rough time unaware she had Grave's disease and said odd things like she was retiring from solo releases after We Are Born and other stuff.

She's backtracked on it now since she's been treated for her illness and not feeling weird and crazy.

She'll probably do another album when she feels like it and it'll probably be a nice miserable but interesting album

Bic Runga
Sophie Zelmani
Lunik

Patrick Wolf for me.

The Black Keys
Binary Star

Gotsta' be Girlicious

Cant believe I forgot about them, fantastic band, they recently opened for Arcade Fire in Chicago coincidentally!

Jack Savoretti

I would have added KT Tunstall, as I have followed her, from Eye to The Telescope, and have all the stuff she's released. But decided others may well say she's successful.

And with good reason as well <3... an amazing band who didn't deserve the hatred they got earlier this year.

She was a one album wonder though. The other two albums have failed to reach that success. It's likely she never will.

I don't know about that. Drastic fantastic and Tiger Suit have reached number 3 and 5 in the album chart - a similar placing to Telescope. Admittedly I don't think they have sold in the same quantities but I don't think she could be described as a "not so successful act"

Siobhan Donaghy - most underrated artist ever

Don't be fooled by Peak positions. The sales don't match.

Bat for lashes (lots of critical acclaim I know)
Sophie Ellis Bextor
Andrea Corr (solo stuff)

Kelis

Teedra moses...she's so slept on

Amerie

Some fantastic R&B in her back catalogue

I love She & Him

And Anathema. It's criminal how underrated they are

I said that

I still don't think KT Tunstall could be classed as a "not so successful act"

I suppose the more you think about it, yeah your right. She isn't the same line as ones myself and others have said

I wasn't disbelieving you by the way.

Why are so many people saying Kelis??...i would say she is very successful.
She is a BRIT Award winner, has been nominated for two Grammy Awards and has had nine top 10 singles in the UK Singles Chart.

and her.

I liked her too, just the silly name Little Boots did her no favours.

Little Boots

A band who never made it, and I used to think of in the same terms as Teenage Fanclub.

The superb Cosmic Rough Riders.

Not sure if they are still together only saw them once at Glastonbury about 8-9 years ago.
