What to Download: New Music on iTunes

Oct 28 2008 - 3:46pm

Tuesdays are big in entertainmentville: Not only do all the new DVD releases hit Netflix [1], but new music also pours into stores, including iTunes. So I take a spin through each week's iTunes music releases and pick out some albums and tracks worthy of a download. In addition to my selections below you can download new albums from Pink [2] and Snow Patrol [3]. Here's what's on my list this week:

The making of a Legend: I like John Legend and I feel like he's the perfect pick for when I'm in a romantic and/or chillaxed mood. His new album [4] sounds pretty fun. I'm enjoying a duet with Andre 3000 called "Green Light," [5] a sweet song called "No Other Love" [6] featuring Estelle with a nice rasta-beat beneath it, and "This Time" [7] is pretty and different-sounding for Legend. It's good to hear him getting up from the piano and mixing it up a little. Oh, and "I Love, You Love" [8] sounds like wedding mix material.

The Cure for your ears: For what it's worth, The Cure's new album [9] is earning some high praise from music critics. The Guardian [10] called the band's thirteenth studio album "admirably taut and vibrant" and Blender [11] declares, "here's the new soundtrack to Saturday night." Fun! I'm enjoying the upbeat song, "The Only One" [12] and "Underneath the Stars" [13] is another good one.

One more selection up next so .

So dramatic: Bloc Party's always had a flair for the dramatics as a band and you know what? I like it. I'm excited that their new album is out today and have had a good time checking out their new songs! So far my faves include the catchy "Signs," [14] the spacey "Better Than Heaven," [15] and the hard-driving "Halo." [16]
