Featured Album Releases:

Chris Brown- F.A.M.E.- Perhaps it would have been unjust to view 2010’s Graffiti — Chris Brown’s first album post-Rihanna abuse scandal — as a true representation of the man’s talents. Simply put, it was bogged down with R&B-soaked apology letters. With his new release, Brown’s once again back reveling in pop glory, and he’s got the game’s top dogs in his corner: Lil Wayne, Justin Bieber, T-Pain and more hop aboard Brown’s recovery train.
.
The Strokes- Angles- After a five-year break following 2006’s First Impressions of Earth, Julian Casablancas and co. are back, albeit with a slightly new creative process: whereas before Casabalancas was the principal songwriter, this go-round the band member’s insisted on a more democratic process. For Angles, each member contributed his own songs to the fold. The resulting 10 cuts are arguably some of the best the NYC band has penned since their breakout album, 2001’s Is This It?

.

James Blake- James Blake- Dubstep has a face and it belongs to a lanky twenty-something from the U.K. named James Blake. Blake melds silky-spun ballads with earth-rippling bass throbs perfectly suited for East London basements from which the genre was born. Highlights include a somber cover of Feist’s “Limit To Your Love” and the pulsating daydream that is “The Wilhem Scream.”

.

Panic! At The Disco-Vices & Virtues- Who says downsizing isn’t affecting the rich and famous? Panic! At The Disco have been reduced to two members following the departure of Ryan Ross and Jon Walker, but Brandon Urie and Spencer Smith remain. The questions is, can the duo continue to crank out the same brand of emo-flair that brought us hits like “I Write Sins Not Tragedies”?  Their first full-length in three years, highlighted by lead single “Ballad of Mona Lisa,” will be a good barometer. You be the judge.

Featured Single Release:

.

Owl City- “Alligator Sky”- Adam Young’s new single from his upcoming album, All Things Bright and Beautiful, is spun from the same loom of electro-tinged pop yarn that spawned his breakout hit “Fireflies.” He’s mixing up his recipe, slightly: rapper Shawn Chrystopher drops rhymes in a guest spot.
