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

The Fray - With the release of their debut album, "How to Save a Life," The Fray are ready to show the world that Denver actually is a "rock city." The timeless songs on their debut are soaring ballads with a ragged edge. Led by choir-trained singer Isaac Slades, the band invokes the sound of Coldplay mixed with Bright Eyes.

KT Tunstall - KT Tunstall has become a sensation in Great Britain with her soulful style of songwriting. Her debut, "Eye to the Telescope" is an intimate album with a rock crunch that comes from an appreciation for the beats of Bo Diddley.

James Blunt - This ex-soldier has gone from riding in tanks to topping the UK charts with the ballad "You're Beautiful," that Elton John has compared to his own hit "Your Song." The candor and catchiness of Back to Bedlam is the reason for Blunt's success - the CD showcases a disarmingly tender voice that speaks with the heart of a true romantic.

Anthony Hamilton - Soulful and smooth, Anthony Hamilton got his start at age ten singing in his church choir. The Charlotte, NC, native made the move to New York City in 1993 and has now become the new master of old-school soul, drawing comparisons to R&B legends Bill Withers and Bobby Womack.

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.
