An eclectic mix of some of the best tracks from recently released albums.
More Digital Download Lists.
1. Rihanna - Kisses Don't Lie
The album A Girl Like Me has already generated the hits "SOS" and "Unfaithful." This candidate for a future hit is a slice of sunny reggae pop.
2. Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs - Different Drum
Matthew Sweet and the Bangles' Susanna Hoffs reach deep back into 60's pop to cover this tune originally recorded by Linda Ronstadt. The classic song was written by the Monkees' Mike Nesmith.
3. Mat Kearney - Crashing Down
There's more than a hint of Coldplay in this expansive ballad from pop singer-songwriter Mat Kearney.
5. Taking Back Sunday - Makedamnsure
The aggressive, angsty pop-rock of Taking Back Sunday is a challenge to the dominance of Fall Out Boy.
6. Gomez - How We Operate
It's a Brit-rock band that sounds rather American. There's also a danceable groove down in there as well.
7. Daniel Powter - Free Loop
More piano-based pop from Daniel Powter, the man behind the mega-hit "Bad Day".
8. LL Cool J and Juelz Santana - It's LL and Santana
LL Cool J proves contemporary hip hop has not left him behind in this duet with hot, young rapper Juelz Santana.
