The Asteroids Galaxy Tour
The Asteroids Galaxy Tour is a Danish group based around the songwriting and vocal duo of Mette Lindberg and Lars Iversen. The group creates a nouveau vision of soul music that takes some of the dustier corners of early funk and soul rhythms and puts them in an indie-pop context. It's an effective mixture that recallst eh pop euphoria of teh Avalanches with the red-hot productions of mark Ronson. This EP gives a sample of the group's retro-futuristic soul-pop and includes the title track, which you may have heard in the ads for iPod Touch. Catch Around the Bend - EP for only $3.96!
Kenny Chesney
In the early '90s, Kenny Chesney was wide-eyed Tennessee boy in a big hat with his shirt tucked in. 1995's All I Need to Know changed that a bit thanks to the success of the track, "Fall in Love" — a twangy, pop gem that had all teh catchiness and grit you could hope for. Not hard country, but sweet country rock with more than a hint of polish amidst the grime. new album for only $9.99!
Usher "Hush"
Despite all the bling and the flashy videos seen today, it's easy to forget that soul singers often used their voices to comment on social issues (think Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Arethra Franklin, Sam Cooke). Usher continues this tradition with his new single, "Hush." Over a subtle acoustic guitar lick and a spare drum bed, Usher wonders who will stand up for those left behind during times of war and economic uncertainty. It's a departure for Usher, one that reveals another dimension of the multiplatinum star. Listen to this single
