KELLY SWEET
Kelly Sweet stands tall as the only new artist to crack the 2007 AC top 10, with the playful, jazzy "Raincoat." Follow-up "Dream On," a dramatically reshaped cover of Aerosmith's 31-year-old signature, is perhaps the track that has drawn most attention from her "We Are One," with acoustic arrangement that recalls Enya more than Steven Tyler. Produced by Mark Portmann (Celine Dion, Josh Groban), who also helmed "Raincoat," the song frames the old-soul teen with graceful guitars and piano, plus layered angelic background vocals, bringing the title fresh essence. "Dream On" stands to further imprint Sweet's spot as a defining AC presence. —Chuck Taylor
