Perhaps best known as the fourth-place finisher in Finland's version of the TV vocal competition Pop Idol, Polish-born songstress Agnes Pihlava is a powerful vocalist whose sexy and strong style harks back to such iconic hard rock artists as Heart, Pat Benatar, and the Scorpions. Going under her first name, Agnes released her debut album, When the Night Falls, on Sony BMG in 2007. ~ Matt Collar, All Music Guide
