Jonsi, Icelandic Magic

If you've heard Jonsi's sound before, blame it on a stupid Ford car commerical. Josni, why did you cash out on that? Although, I do have to admit it made for one of the better car carmmericals I've ever seen.

To me, no one can emulate the sound of Jonsi. The Icelandic singer and songwriter delivers an inspirational sounds that makes you believe you can conquer the world. Jonsi truly is a musician. You listen to him for his sound, not necessarily his lyrics. He switches between English and Icelandic gibberish, making a magical sound. Unlike many artists out there, he always uses strings in his music. Strings are SO beautiful sounding. People, why don't you use a little violin or cello here and there? It makes your music sound like quality music. 

Jonsi is great artist to listen to for studying and relaxing. His echoey and wide vocal range is something everyone must appreciate.
