Faces to Watch: Music Up-and-Comers of 2001*By
Chris Well and Cara Baker Whether you’ve heard their names
before or not, and whether they make it to the top of the charts, these artists
are safe picks to drop your hard-earned $15 on in the coming year. * Katy
Hudson. She debuts next year on Red Hill Records. Her lush pop
orchestrations are reminiscent at times of Tori Amos, Cindy Morgan and No Doubt. * Circadian
Rhythm. This group debuts next year on 40 Records, a sub-label of Gotee
Records. This worship band favors the passionate stylings of U2, Delirious and
Radiohead. * Kathy
Troccoli. As her ministry expands to include being an author and speaker,
she's becoming a staple of women's conferences. She has a book and a women's
conference video planned for early 2001. * Tonex.
His indie debut finally re-released on both Jive/Verity and Tommy Boy Records.
He isn't just a great, great urban pop artist (smoothly sliding from gospel to
jazz to funk), but is essentially the leader of a whole movement in contemporary
gospel music (called "Nureau"), working with the likes of Virtue,
Kelli Williams, rappers Unity Klan, smooth male vocal group 4th Elemynt. He's an
entrepreneur and a worship leader; he started a label and is making a movie.
This guy is going to make an impact. ninetyandnine.com ã
