I think she would like Matt Nathanson
I recommend these songs by him: Suspended, I Saw, Bent, Sad Songs
Also a few other songs she may like:
- Nick Drake - One of These Things First
David Gray - Babylon, Please Forgive Me
Frou Frou - Let Go
Remy Zero - Fair
Good luck, and remember, track integrity (song order) really can take a CD from being just good to great.
