2008 Top-20 Countdown - No.7

Monika - Avatar

I first heard Monika's songs through friends, who had her demo tracks and gladly shared them with me (you know who you are guys and thanks). I loved her songs from the first listen, they instantly reminded me of so many loved singer/songwriters but had their own life and personality obviously marked upon them. It is obvious she has poured her heart and soul into this and she merits attention, hype or no hype (I cannot in the life of me understand why every time someone makes something great in this country, everyone must bring that someone down to the level of others... reason enough to get out of here). And yes, she would have the same position in my top-20 even if she was not Greek. I know many ladies in the showbiz out there would kill to have even one of her songs in their albums... sorry ladies, no can do. And do not miss her live, it is a great experience.
