Jason Mraz

This is a newer version of the hit "I'm Yours" that was released as a single a couple days ago, and it's been slightly tweaked, remastered, and amplified; with additions of hums and choruses, the differences are noticeable. This wasn't a single before... but hasn't everyone heard of this already? It'll do well on the charts then, I guess. Anyway, he's out to release his next album, We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things in May.

Here is another song he had released a while ago, but did not appear on any of his studio albums. It's titled "The Beauty In Ugly," renamed from "Plain Jane" and written for the ABC show Ugly Betty.

Mariah Carey - Touch My Body

courtesy official site

I normally don't listen to music like this, but I'm going to post it because A) it's by a popular artist, B) the song is decent, and C) it's by a female artist, and I do realize this sausage-infested blog has been lacking any of it minus the presence of Jordin Sparks and Lil Mama. I don't think I need an introduction to this artist--who DOESN'T know Mariah Carey? Here's her latest single from an upcoming album, E=MC2 which will be released in April. Everyone should be familiarized with this song once it hits the radio, anyway.

[MV] Lil Mama - Shawty Get Loose (ft. Chris Brown & T-Pain)


Rap artist Lil Mama is going to release her debut album Voice of the Young People later this year. Well, if it has Chris Brown in it, it must be good. The song and the music video are both okay. It's just amazing how Lil Mama and Chris Brown, who are both 18, are so young yet talented and famous.

Ryan Cabrera - Say

courtesy cabrera's official myspace page

I remember when I first heard Ryan Cabrera, my first thoughts were: Wow, he sings terribly! I think it was just his vocals for "True" (2004), but I listened to some of his earlier material before too and I didn't really like it. I think it might be just a little better now. He claims his music is moving in a new direction, and his new single Say from an upcoming album seems to prove his point. It's catchy and well, obviously pop.

Be sure to check out his Myspace for clips of other new songs.

Augustana - Sweet and Low

courtesy MTV.com


San Diego rock band Augustana's breakthrough came from their absolutely beautiful song "Boston" as well as "Stars and Boulevards" when it was released on the radio back in 2005. Now, they're back to release their next album Can't Love, Can't Hurt in May. Check out this amazing song, the lyrics have depth and the music has acoustic beauty.

I love this song! In two days it climbed up to #2 in my Most Played list. I'm not sure if the song I have has the best quality out there, so sorry.
