I was recently watching music videos on VH1 (yes, between crazy stuff like Flavor of Love and Celebrity Fit Club, they still actually play a few music videos) and came across the video for "After Tonight" by Justin Nozuka. It's apparently been running in the rotation for a few weeks.
He's a 19-year-old singer/songwriter out of Toronto with a very cool acoustic folksy-soul-blues sound. He's kind of got this Jack Johnson/Jason Mraz/Amos Lee thing going on. Today, I read over at the Hyphen Blog that Entertainment Weekly is calling him a singer/songwriter to watch. Cool.
I dug the song, so I checked out the rest of the tunes from his recently-released album Holly
, streaming on his website. Good stuff. I liked it so much, I went ahead downloaded the whole album from iTunes. Take a look at the video here. To hear some more of Justin Nozuka's music, check his website here, and his MySpace page here.
