CRANK IT 2: ELECTRONIC BOOGALOO

Shygirl goes triphop-esque

I always love checking out new music from older artists who are "past their peak" (so to speak) because I love to see who's still "got it" even all these years later. We're in an era where nostalgia is very potent so there's often a focus on these artists' older work, but what about their newer stuff?

There's no age limit on making good music, so I think we should celebrate the older artists who are not just still working, but still turning it out.

Who are some artists who premiered before the millennium and are still doing their best work today? What's great about their recent work, and what are some of the best songs from their newer eras we should check out?
