Michelle Branch

Michelle Branch is a name that still triggers a wave of early-2000s nostalgia for me. Out of Phoenix, she arrived as a guitar-toting teenager who wrote her own songs at a time when manufactured pop dominated, and 'Everywhere' captured that moment perfectly. Her Grammy-winning collaboration with Santana on 'The Game of Love' showed an instinct beyond her years. What I value is her refusal to be packaged purely as an idol; she played, she wrote, she persisted.
