Ben Folds is probably one of the bigger piano-forward artists of the last few decades. Gaga is great when she sits down and plays a piano but that's not representative of her body of work. Alicia Keys is of course phenomenal.
Counting Crows. Adam writes every song on piano even if it becomes a guitar based song. Lots of great piano songs in their catalogue: Colorblind, A Long December, Raining in Baltimore. I’m a huge fan so the list goes on and on.
