The coffeehouse meets the beach in the easygoing music of boho California-free-spirit Angel Taylor. The closest I can come to classifying her summery sonic melting pot is "the female Jack Johnson," but even that falls woefully short. Her bouncy blend of sleepy reggae, upbeat soul and acoustic pop evokes everything from Third Eye Blind to Sheryl Crow to "Somewhere Over The Rainbow," without actually sounding like any of them. Who do you think she sounds like?

Angel's debut album, Love Travels, got a boost from iTunes, when they named her "Make Me Believe" their single of the week. And it's a fitting match. The breezy go-to track would be right at home in an iPod commercial. The song's success won her opening slots on tour with Adele, Brett Dennen, Brandi Carlile and Gavin DeGraw, among others. Are you impressed yet?

To seal the deal, fall into "Make Me Believe" or any of Angel Taylor's other delicately-plucked perfume daydreams, and keep an eye out for this gently rising talent.

Last time we saw blue-eyed soul songwriter Gavin DeGraw was some time back in like 2005 (and before every episode of One Tree Hill. Busted.) The last time we saw Laguna Beach grad Kristin Cavallari was around the same time, and apparently she’s fallen on hard times since she’s working at Wally World. Soike! Stephen Colletti’s ex plays the love interest in Gavin DeGraw’s brand-new caught-on-tape video, “In Love With a Girl,” in which the two go on an after-hours trying-on-undies spree at their “local discount superstore.” Yet another compelling reason to wash your new drawers before you wear them.
