New Music Tuesday: May 13, 2008

Welcome fellow musical minions to another beautiful Tuesday. New music is here so lets get started.

New British sensation Duffy will release her debut album, Rockferry, in the states today. The album was released in Europe back in March and from the beginning the Amy Winehouse comparisons have been unrelenting. Blame it on the British press who are bulldogs in their search and destroy mission for the "next Radiohead" or "next Oasis." Duffy's blue eyed soul is actually quite different from Winehouse and should be able to stand on its own. Her first single Mercy has been to the top of the charts in the UK and is starting to get some airtime here in the US.

Another musical import, this time from Canada, Bryan Adams is back with 11, his eleventh (get it?) studio album. It's nice to see Bryan still creating and exploring his own musical boundaries - even if the new album already sounds dated.


The Rest:

  • Narrow Stairs - Death Cab For Cutie
  • We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. - Jason Mraz
  • Blame It On Gravity - Old 97's
  • The Moon Under Water - Ryan Cabrera (horrible title!)
  • Brain Thrust Mastery - We Are Scientists
