- Colours So Fine-Miranda Lee Richards (Appealingly airy, psychedelic vocals and instrumentation on this track, released in January.)
- Alma Con Alma-Manuel Valera, Sr. (Excellent Latin jazz. Valera's saxophone leads an engaging melody that's great for driving and wouldn't be out of place on a smooth jazz station.)
- Take Me To The Alley-Gregory Porter (Movingly sung vocals convey lyrics that work on a spiritual level. It's the emotive title track of Porter's latest release. Also recommended: Porter's "Liquid Spirit" CD.)
- The Way It Is-Bruce Hornsby & The Range (An impressive debut pop hit, lyrically, vocally, and instrumentally. Certainly, it has one of the most attention-getting piano intros. The attitude that Hornsby questions in the lyrics is still applicable 30 years later.)
- I'll Stand By You-The Pretenders (The tune conveys exactly the right amount of sentimentality, without being maudlin.)
