Of course, when talking about our favourites, the subject has to turn to Christina Martin at some point. Songs that’ll kick you right in the gut and the heart, a stunning voice, and oh, those melodies. Yes, she’s popular ’round these here parts, for sure.

And here’s just a sample of why. Check out this dandy music video and get yourself a copy of one of the best albums of the year, Sleeping with a Stranger.

And, as if that weren’t exciting enough, Christina’s husband/musical partner Dale Murray also released a terrific album this year, and it also has a nifty video!
