Zooey Deschanel
Opening our list is the doe-eyed singer-songwriter and actress Zooey Deschanel. She’s half of indie folk band She & Him, and easily hypnotizes
the masses with her
rich vocals, reminiscent of a by-gone era. We’re definitely jealous of her husband, Ben Gibbard, but it’s not like he’s got any lack of ladies hounding him, either.
Meiko
Small-town girl Meiko was born and raised in Roberta, Georgia, but moved to LA to set down her roots and begin her music career. The indie-folk singer-songwriter’s work has since appeared on television, and along with her piercing looks, her voice is
amazing live.
Alexandra Lawn
Alexandra Lawn is the cellist behind indie
rock band Ra Ra Riot’s addictive
tunes. Should you be wary of a cello in a rock band? Not in this case — it goes perfectly with their style, and we’ve never before seen the cello played so
sensually.
Annie Clark
Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Annie Clark, best known under the moniker St. Vincent, is one hot musician you can’t miss. Her
voice is soothing and her eyes are gorgeous — plus, chicks with
guitars are sexy.
Regina Spektor
Soviet-born Regina Spektor captured us with her angelic voice and luscious looks. Her family moved her to New York when she was young, where she excelled in music once discovering her parent’s upright piano. You can hear a tinge of an accent in her
singing, and we like it.

guitar behind the experimental Japanese rock band Boris, and this hottie can
shred better than you. We don’t think you’ll have a problem with that. Will you?
Alicia Keys
R&B soul queen Alicia Keys is hot, and has a set of
pipes to match. She started playing piano at
seven, and once she mastered Beethoven, she began writing her own music. Alicia has since taken the world by storm — and claimed a trunk full of Grammys to go along with it.
Alison Goldfrapp
Alison Goldfrapp is an English singer-songwriter that really gets us going. She fronts electronic band Goldfrapp, which became Grammy award-nominated back in 2007. Although she has changed her personal style many times, her fairy-like looks keep our attention — and her
voice is nice too.
Anette Olzon

vocals.
Ximena Sariñana
Mexican born beauty Ximena Sariñana is a Latin Grammy and Grammy award-nominated singer-songwriter and actress. She’s pretty new to the music scene, with her first album released in 2008, but with a soulful
voice like hers, we’ll likely hear more of her soon.
Melissa Auf Der Maur
Melissa Auf Der Maur is quite the renaissance woman. She’s an established rock musician with a career that has included five years as Hole’s bassist as well as touring with The Smashing
Pumpkins — oh, and she’s a published photographer. She basically kicks ass at
vocals, bass guitar
and looks hot to boot.

hypnotizing and have also been featured in bands like Apocalyptica and Megadeth.

accomplish.

gorgeous. She’s a UNICEF Ambassador too — the youngest

music scene, she’s too hot to leave off.
LIGHTS
Valerie Anne Poxleitner, best known as LIGHTS, is one of the cutest Canadian imports we’ve seen to date. She’s mainly known for her synthpop, but we dug up an amazing
acoustic number by her that really showcases her musical abilities — as well as that adorable face.

music. She began guitar lessons at 12, played in local cafes for a while, and finally debuted on the music scene back in 2007.

sing and does so with pure
talent.
Katie Melua
Soviet-born Katie Melua relocated to England at 14 and hopped onto the music scene in 2003. Her voice is
mellow and although she may not be mainstream in the US, with her talent — and looks — she
should be.

Michelle Branch may be one of the more mainstream musicians on this list, but she’s definitely not lacking on the talent side of things — she does pretty well in the looks department too. Her claim to fame was back in 2001 with her hit

voice and not to mention, she was on the cover of
Maxim. She must be doing something right.
