Jason Mraz - Everything Is Sound x Who's Thinking About You Now?

'Everything Is Sound' and 'Who's Thinking About You Now?' are two of my favourite tracks from American singer/songwriter Jason Mraz's upcoming fourth studio album 'Love Is A Four Letter Word', which is set for release on April 17th. Definitely one of my guilty pleasures, although Mraz is a brilliant musician when you look deeper than the surface - his music makes me very happy. Pre-order.

Eric Turner - Angels & Stars (Feat. Lupe Fiasco & Tinie Tempah)

After bringing you the title track a few weeks ago, here is the lead single from Eric Turner's forthcoming mixtape, Style Changer. The singer/songwriter sticks with Ishi on production duties, but calls on his good friend Tinie Tempah and Chicago-born MC Lupe Fiasco to lend a verse each for this anthemic head-nodder.

Paul McCartney - Only Our Hearts (Feat. Stevie Wonder) x Home (When Shadows Fall)

My two favourite tracks from Paul McCartney's new album, Kisses On The Bottom, which is set to be released February 7th and is the first release from the singer/songwriter since 2007. 'Only Our Hearts' is a new collaboration with fellow legend Stevie Wonder on the Harmonica and 'Home (When Shadows Fall)' is a brilliant interpretation of Sam Cooke's 1963 classic. As he explains, "This is a collection of classic songs that inspired me to write songs - it's the type album you listen to at home after work, with a glass of wine or a cup of tea".
