Now in his 30s, Preab Sovath is a huge star in Cambodia and with the ex-pat communities in the US, Canada and Australia. His music is pop based but is full of Khmer flavours. There are similarities to Thai morlam, on some of the high energy rootsy tunes, although he is also adept at singing more orthodox ballads. Good CD to hear what young Cambodians are listening to.

Born in 1978, Moon Mara is one of Cambodia's top pop singers. From ballads to Khmer rap and jaunty, catchy upbeat numbers. Not too many Cambodian flavors but good Asian pop.

Another rising star, Sapoun Midada sings Khmer pop. Mostly romantic ballads but more upbeat tunes too. Especially popular with the Khmer communities in the US.
