"You Oughta Know" -- VH1 fills you in on artists on the rise. Get acquainted with these essential new artists.

Aqualung -- London-based Matt Hales a.k.a. Aqualung started getting involved in music at a young age, composing a symphony at age 16. Hales landed one of his songs "Strange and Beautiful (I'll Put A Spell On You)," in a UK VW Beetle commercial which coincided with the release of his self-titled debut. People started clamoring to find THAT song and his album of dark and haunting songs became a hit. He renders his heartbreak with subtlety, preferring to let whispery vocals create a string of moody atmospheres. And believe it or not, he says he's never heard the Jethro Tull tune.

Keane -- Hailing from the teeny southern-Brit town of Battle, Keane has mastered the art of soft-rocking, piano-driven, melodic pop as sweet and infectious as it comes. If you don't believe us, just check the U.K. charts, where the trio's album Hopes and Fears spent four weeks at #1.

Anna Nalick -- This charming newcomer writes her feisty pop tunes with no formal training, just a love of music. From the age of thirteen, Anna Nalick was rewriting the lyrics to tunes by Green Day, Nirvana and Matchbox Twenty. She has since honed the craft of storytelling and this singer/songwriter showcases her own poignant music on her debut Wreck of the Day.
