I need to listen to a new sound. Can anybody suggest artists?

Question

Lately, i have been growing tired listening to today's music, don't get me wrong; I think we have pretty awesome artist in our generation. It's just that most song are kind of getting over-commercialized and over-done. I've been listening to older artist but I really want to get re-connected with today's music. I've been listening to this great singer who I think does not get enough credit she deserves, her name is Alexz Johnson. I still need more of today's artist though....any suggestions?

P.S It does not have to be Alexz Johnsons genre. I'm open to any suggestions.
