What to Download: New Music on iTunes

BuzzSugar — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 11:30:47 -0800

Tuesdays are big in entertainmentville: Not only do all the new DVD releases hit Netflix, 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. It's a pretty light week for new releases, but in addition to the picks below, you can also snag a new collection from Ghostface Killah and the soundtrack to Revolutionary Road. Here are today's selections:

Whoa, "Womanizer": If Britney Spears's "Womanizer" is always stuck in your head, you might want to consider picking up a remix EP that's out on iTunes today. The EP includes five different versions of the song, including some that are very club-y and others that are almost dreamy. At first listen, I most enjoy the Kaskade mix, and I couldn't help but bob my head during the Benny Benassi mix.

The greatest gift of all: If you enjoyed Stephen Colbert's tongue-in-cheek take on the holiday special, then you might want to get yourself over to iTunes this week, where Colbert's "Another Christmas Song" is free this week. The opening song from the special is old-fashioned and jazzy but with a good dose of holiday sarcasm mixed in ("The manger’s on fire/The holly’s a-glow/Hear the baby Jesus cryin’ ho ho ho").

I've got one more for you, so just read more.

Time to pretend: The Pretenders get credit for longevity (and the enduring coolness of lead singer Chrissie Hynde), and I'm curious to hear them reflect on their career and new album in this new iTunes Originals recording. The release is a mix of interview clips and intimate recordings, including new versions of tracks from this year's Break Up the Concrete and classics like "Talk of the Town." You have to buy the whole thing to hear the interview clips, but each song is available separately.

Britney vs. Lily: Whose "Womanizer" Is Best?

It certainly doesn't take long for a song to get covered these days! It's only been a few weeks since we first heard Britney Spears's "Womanizer," and British star Lily Allen has just released her own, slightly slowed down version.

I was actually surprised by how faithful Allen's version (which apparently has gotten her in a bunch of trouble with her record label!) is to the original - a few fewer vocal effects, maybe, and a little more downbeat, sort of "Lily Allen sings 'Womanizer' in a piano bar." I could see myself listening to it, but at the same time, there's just that special Britney energy to the original. Take a listen to both versions and let me know: Which "Womanizer" wins?

What to Download: New Music on iTunes

Comeback kid: Britney Spears's new album, Circus, is being described as "adequate" by most reviewers, and from what I've listened to so far, I'd agree. I've had "Womanizer," a song I really enjoy, on my jogging mix for a while now (and all I see is Chuck Bass). I'm not too sure what else from this odd collection of songs I will get into next, but Britney's tunes have a way of creeping up on me over time as I warm to their catchiness. One song, "Unusual You," is very pretty even though it hardly sounds like her, and "Kill the Lights" is cool. Also: What is going on with her accent on "Mmm Papi"?

The best of Chess: I caught an early screening of Cadillac Records last night (I'll share my thoughts on the movie later this week) and boy, am I in the mood for some blues from this era. Lucky for me, the original songs featured in the film have been neatly rounded up for an album available for download today. Classics like "(I'm Your) Hoochie Coochie Man" and "Forty Days and Forty Nights" by the legendary Muddy Waters sound great even on MP3. Oh man, and Etta James pouring her heart out on tracks like "Trust In Me" and "All I Could Do Is Cry" sounds amazing here too. The entire album is awesome - I downloaded it all.

One more still to come, so read more.

Before they were famous: Before Neil Young released a single song as a solo act, he taped this concert held at the Canterbury House in Ann Arbor in 1968. The tracks sound intimate, and Young sometimes seems shy, but it's cool to hear him learn his way through songs like "On The Way Home" and "Birds" live.
