Martha's Trouble takes the obscure trophy with only 1,340 last.fm listeners! Not the kind of music that excites me, but enjoyable. They have 7 albums, so they must be doing something right

Somehow I missed Janelle Monáe when her album came out in May, but I was finally introduced to her last week when both Sound Opinions reviewers agreed - for only the 3rd time in 20 years - that her album was the best of 2010. Hearing that, I decided to check it out and I can see why they like it so much.

Her debut album - The ArchAndroid - fuses a wide variety of genres, so it's impossible to give a full impression of her sound with only a couple songs. Nonetheless, here are two that I really enjoy, plus an interview from when she was promoting her EP, before the release of her album...
