Music
Madonna
Madonna's 2000 album Music infused her massively appealing dance rhythms with French techno-pop sounds. Considered her most creative release since Like a Prayer, the tunes on Music are still eminently danceable.

Brand New Day
Sting
Sting conquered new territory with this 1999 release -- perhaps his perhaps his best album since Dream of the Blue Turtles. Collaborating on this album were Stevie Wonder, Branford Marsalis, James Taylor, guitarist Dominic Miller, and the prince of rai Cheb Mami. Great stuff from a master.

Essence
Lucinda Williams
Country star Lucinda Williams followed up her 1998 release Car Wheels on a Gravel Road with this 2001 release. As one reviewer notes, this is "an incredibly affecting vocal performance by a woman who was not blessed with exceptional tone, range, or pitch."
