Meiko
I don't watch Grey's Anatomy so I didn't hear about Meiko's Reasons To Love You from there but I'm pretty sure I heard her on KCRW lately. With a voice that sounds like a cross between Macy Gray and Missy Higgins but with a quirky songwriting style that reminded me of Feist.
Meiko is one of the most promising singer-songwriters to emerge from the Los Angeles music scene in recent years. Counting among her influences artists as diverse as Patty Griffin, Sade, and Portishead, Meiko has managed to create songs of sweet disquiet that are all her own.
In early 2007, Meiko performed at the Sundance Film Festival and caught the ear of Paste Magazine editor Josh Jackson, who boldly declared her a "big success story" waiting to happen; predicting it was "only a matter of time" before she found her way onto Nic Harcourt's influential “Morning Becomes Eclectic” radio program on KCRW. It was a prognostication that proved especially prophetic, as just a few months later Meiko's music became a staple of the L.A. radio station's playlists.
I bought Meiko's self-titled debut album as a mp3 download on Amazon. It's not as cool as using mobile iTune in my recently updated and re-jailbreaked iPhone, but at least Amazon's version is DRM free.

Meiko is so talented. Her voice is so beautiful and unique. She actually did some really hilarious interviews that people should definitely check them out.
