Fever Ray is one half of legendary electronica act The Knife. On her own, Karin Dreijer Andersson creates sounds and vocals richer than expected from a solo act. The '80s-inpired sound is dreamy, ethereal and sentimental.

Album: "R.O.O.T.S."
Genre: Hip-hop, rap
Sounds Like: Nelly, T-Pain, 50 Cent

Flo Rida's sophomore release is nothing out of the ordinary: it's exactly what you'd expect from a Southern artist who raps about money and women. Flo Rida isn't trying to do anything new but that's OK, because we all need something to dance to.

Artist: Röyksopp
Album: Junior
Genre: Dance, Electronica
Sounds Like: Daft Punk, Air
80 Decibels
On its third album, Röyksopp finds a middle ground between pop sensibility and classy electronic dance. In terms of crafting a cohesive album, however, the Norwegian duo fails to deliver. Well, nobody's perfect.
