Grace
Artist: Jeff Buckley
I first heard this guy when I went to Norway the summer after I did my GCSEs. This is the only album he finished before he died - drowning in the Mississippi river in 1997. Nontheless he remains one of the greatest vocal talents in popular music; his soaring cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah perfectly showcases his talents. Other highlights are Lover, You Should Have Come Over, and, my favourite, Last Goodbye. "This is our last embrace/must I dream and always see your face"
