Country singer-songwriter Justin Townes Earle will release Nothing's Gonna Change the Way You Feel About Me Now, the full-length follow-up to 2010's Harlem River Blues, on March 27th. His lead single, the title track, is gentle and guitar-driven and goes in a different musical direction than his previous work. "I think that it's the job of the artist to be in transition and constantly learn more. The new record is completely different than my last one, Harlem River Blues. This time I've gone in a Memphis-soul direction," Earle says.

Justin Townes Earle's Nothing's Gonna Change the Way You Feel About Me Now will be released on March 27th, but you can download the title track 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."
