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.

“Time to Pretend”

MGMT | 2008

Listening to MGMT’s breakthrough song, one might interpret it as being about the excesses of rock stardom, but it’s actually about the duo’s pet praying mantis. Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden told Rolling Stone they got the idea from the insect's jerky movements. The mantis died, but the two bandmates kept the egg sack and allowed the hundreds of eggs to hatch. “We tried to name them all, but they died after a day,” said Goldwasser, with VanWyngarden chiming in, “But the praying mantis dance inspired us.”
