Santigold!!!!! She only has only one album so far "Santogold", but it's amazing. I still listen to it alot after almost 2 years. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCeZzW54a2o

Also M.I.A. her music is crazy. And so are her lyrics http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iG4b9GKX9Q

Nelly Furtado's 2nd album "Folklore"
I know she's mainstream and all but her 2nd album is very different and the lyrics are really great. Too bad the album flopped in the states. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogHDTOUhmxQ

Dido - Her music isn't generic and she has a great voice. I recommend her album "No Angel". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qCt70ungb4

Or maybe Duffy? She has great soul/pop/rock songs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhZ5-L9znt8

Katie Melua - this girl has an amazing voice, this is my favorite song of hers, love the lyrics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5lofPE01UI

Metric - my fav indie band. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00KBHNy4kW4

Sorry, I got a bit carried away.. lol
