Earlier this year, the Omaha, Nebraska-based three-piece Icky Blossoms signed to Saddle Creek Records, and they are recording their debut album with TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek, to be released later this year. The album's first single is the girl-power dance anthem "Babes." "This song was written with images of powerful, tough women in our minds," Icky Blossoms' Sarah Bohling explains. "We wanted there to be a dance anthem about the almighty woman. Women of the world, take over!" You can download Icky Blossoms' "Babes" for free here.

“I'm Yours”

Jason Mraz | 2008

Jason Mraz re-emerged after his disappointing second album with this lead single, a Jack Johnson-esque ditty about giving yourself fully to someone else. The success of the reggae-tinged song (it earned two Grammy nods and a spot on the Billboard singles chart for well over a year) was something the folk-pop singer never predicted when he wrote it in 15 minutes at home. "I played a happy-hippie chord progression that would probably work without 50 different Bob Marley songs," he told Rolling Stone. "I thought, 'It's too novelty. This is a nursery rhyme,'" concluding that "you can never guess what's gonna be a hit."
