Duncan Sheik

Establishing himself in the mid-'90s as a singer/songwriter with a knack for literate adult pop songs with hazy surfaces and a touch of alt-rock grit, Duncan Sheik had a Top 20 hit with the song "Barely Breathing" from his 1996 eponymous debut.

Featuring intricate production and multiple overdubs, it was co-produced with frequent Madonna collaborator Patrick Leonard. Read more on Last.fm
