15. Tosh
You might know JA-born, Florida-based Tosh Alexander from her high-pitched chatting on the intro to Busta Rhymes’ summer single “Twerk It,” but her own music is generally more suited to the bedroom than the bashment. “Tell Me Why” is a dreamy R&B track with echoes of a Kelly Rowland or Ciara, and her latest, “Right On Time,” fuses pop with subtle touches of dancehall. And she’s not hard to look at, either. Watch the brand-new video for “Tell Me Why” below and see (and hear) more Tosh in our Oct. 2013 “Get to Know Tosh Alexander” feature. —Jesse Serwer
