Looking for something to put under the tree of a music-lover on your list. Here are three possibilities.

Chris Brown

It's been almost two years since the world has heard anything new from Chris Brown.

His debut album "Exclusive," released Nov. 3, has made heads turn for this upcoming 18-year-old artist. His single "Wall to Wall" hit the radios first and then came "Kiss, Kiss" which drew much attention to his upcoming CD release.

This album is definitely worthy of buying. It's a good as his previous album but with more maturity towards love and devotion for women. This triple threat star even has a song on the new album dedicated to mothers everywhere.

Chris Brown has just recently started his acting career in the Christmas comedy "This Christmas,"in theaters now. He proves he can act and sing beautifully in the movie. Everyone's already seen his dance moves in many music videos.

The world has yet to see how talented this young man truly is.

Brittney Spears

Although her life hasn't been the luckiest the past few years, Britney Spears' debut album "Blackout" hit stores Oct. 30 and has been a success.

Her first single "Gimmie More" was performed during the 2007 VMAs and disappointed fans. Her music video for Gimmie More was different from previous videos but it gave a glimpse into the twisted mind of the young starlet.

Within the first week, her album hit the charts as number one. Her second song to make it big on the radio was "Radar." Her new album is very upbeat and fun-paced which can easily be played in clubs for all ages to enjoy.

Hopes are high for her second music video to be more impressive than her first.

Alicia Keys

For the past two years, Alicia Keys has been working on her debut album, "As I Am," which was released on Nov. 13. Her album hit number one for the first week selling.

Her single "No One" is catchy, deep and very meaningful. She signed with Starbucks and other artists to play their CDs in various stores.

The second hit song called "Like You'll Never See Me Again" proves how much of an R & B artist she truly is. Her piano skills are impeccable; her voice is so unique it's hard to copy.

"As I Am" is her fourth CD since she broke out into the mainstream in 2001. This talented young woman is barely starting her career and, by the sound of her music, she isn't going away anytime soon.
