"Let's Go," the latest single from Madi Diaz, is an indie-folk gem about the difficulties of moving on. "It really wrote itself," the Nashville singer-songwriter tells Rolling Stone. "After messing around with the track and listening and experimenting for a little, it just sort of fell out. The melody felt like it had been wafting around in the room and all we had to do was reach up and catch it." Diaz insists that the song is lighter than her previous material, but while the mid-tempo track feels uplifting, there's something chilling in the way she "oh"s. You can listen to "Let's Go" above and download it for free here.

“The Pretender”

Foo Fighters | 2007

This song wasn't part of the planned track listing for 2007's Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, and was put together in a day. "It happened after we recorded a lot of stuff," said Dave Grohl. Yet it ended up as the album opener and the lead single. Grohl called it "a stomping Foo Fighters uptempo song with a little bit of Chuck Berry in it." The singer hinted at the lyrics' political overtones: "Everyone's been f---ed over before and I think a lot of people feel f---ed over right now and they're not getting what they were promised."
