Give Me Metric

There's still room for some pretty voices in rock 'n roll. See Emily Haines, the voice of Metric. I hear a ton about Beth Ditto (The Gossip) and even Karen O (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), but give me Emily Haines! Sometimes it's the juxtaposition of electro/rock/pop and a pretty mezzosoprano, rather than rock and more rock, that does it for me.

Here's "Help, I'm Alive" from Metric's latest album Fantasies and below, the song that first made me fall in love with Metric: "Calculation (Theme)."
