  5. Another artist who is entirely new to me. I like Cleo Sol’s voice! It sounds like with music all around her while growing up, she was destined to become a music artist as well. Of course, she still needed to have the talent.

    A gorgeous voice, wow, jazzy-soulful in “Sunshine.” Another great pick, Li.
