  Taylor Swift  “Fearless”

  This Country singer has become extremely popular in the mainstream (last year she was the biggest selling artist in the US) and her latest album is very heavily reserved in libraries.  She writes her own material and is influenced by Patsy Cline, Shania Twain and the Dixie Chicks.

  U2  “No Line on the Horizon”

  Always an immensely popular band this is their 12^th studio album. The usual political approach to lyrics is still there. Possibly their best according to Q.  Has been likened to their Zooropa album.

  Oumou Sangare  “Seya”

  Very positively reviewed album by this Malian singer.  Coming after a 5 year break from the music scene during which amongst other things she became a UN ambassador.  Many tracks having a political message the album features more than 50 other musicians but she is not overshadowed.
