MARIE DIGBY

Where You've Heard Her A live clip showing the 24-year-old L.A. native playing a laid-back cover of Rihanna's ''Umbrella'' became a YouTube smash last May, garnering more than 5 million views. From there, Digby's tunes could be heard all over the prime-time spectrum, with spots on The Hills and Smallville.

For Fans of Vanessa Carlton. On her April 8 debut, Unfold, Digby serves up some midtempo pop-rock love songs of her own, backed by an anonymous, slick band. Rest assured, there's also a polished studio take on that ''Umbrella'' cover.

Best Track ''Say It Again'' (myspace.com/mariedigby)
