Bottom/ Jukebox (Matador Records, 2008) is the eighth album by American singer/songwriter Chan Marshall, also known by her stage name, Cat Power. She is known for her minimalist style, sparse guitar and piano playing, and ethereal vocals. The album is comprised almost entirely of cover songs, including "New York", popularized by Liza Minnelli in 1977 and Frank Sinatra in 1980, "Don't Explain", originally released by Billie Holiday, and "A Woman Left Lonely", originally released by Ella Brown and popularised by Janis Joplin on her (posthumous) 1971 album, Pearl. Middle/ Singer-songwriter Feist, ex-member of Canadian indie rock bands Broken Social Scene and By Divine Right, weaves the sweetest tunes in her third solo album The Reminder (Cherrytree/Interscope, 2007). Top/ With it's minimalist, synthetic beats and lush string orchestra arrangements, Björk's fourth album Homogenic (One Little Indian, 1997) reflects the dual nature of her native Iceland, an eerie mix of nature and high-tech.
