LeAnn Rimes

Child prodigies in music usually burn out or get trapped in nostalgia, which is why LeAnn Rimes interests me so much. Winning the Grammy for Best New Artist in 1997, barely a teenager, could have been the peak of her story. Instead she treated country music as a launchpad rather than a cage, moving through pop and contemporary Christian sounds while landing more than forty singles on international charts. That voice — huge, clear, strangely mature even at thirteen — has aged into something warmer and more interesting. I respect artists who outgrow their own legend, and Rimes has done it with unusual grace.
