10. Will Joseph Cook
Will Joseph Cook is known for his pop melodies and poetic lyrics. When those two facets combine with his infectious voice and mellow acoustic sounds, you get the makings of a star.
Though he has had some high profile spots on festivals up and down the country, he has yet to break through the barrier into the forefront of the genre.
Being influenced by the likes of Nick Cave, the roots in folk and blues really do make Cook stand out among his peers.
"Take Me Dancing" is the track that truly demonstrates his beautiful lyricism, and the video to go along with it really matches the theme of finding whimsy and joy while the mundanity of life surrounds us. A perfect song for the summer, upbeat, yet relaxing. His other songs are also perfect for any feel-good playlist.
