  Jewel takes a “Stand” against social injustice in a striking new music video from her latest album, “0304.” You’ll find the album and plenty more from Jewel on the iTunes Music Store.   You know these songs but you’ve never heard them like this before. In “This Left Feels Right: Greatest Hits with a Twist,” supergroup Bon Jovi has stripped its most popular tunes to their essential elements and recrafted and rearranged them with an acoustic base. For a scintillating sample, check out the video of “Wanted Dead or Alive.” And pay a visit to the Bon Jovi page on the iTunes Music Store.  In a new ballad showcasing her powerhouse vocal talents, Christina Aguilera encourages young women to become empowered by discovering “The Voice Within.” And discover more Christina Aguilera on the iTunes Music Store.  “Part Woodie Guthrie, part Joe Strummer” (says Rolling Stone), Billy Bragg has been goading our socio-political conscience with his hard-hitting sound since 1983. Now Rhino Records brings together the best of Bragg in the double-disc “Must I Paint You a Picture? The Essential Billy Bragg.” Listen to 15 classics from the collection.  “No Thanks! The ’70s Punk Rebellion” is the most comprehensive collection of punk music ever assembled. No matter what your punk preference, you’ll find it here, from punk pioneers like the New York Dolls and Iggy and the Stooges to classic punkers like the Ramones, the Buzzcocks, and the Clash (all of whom you’ll find on the iTunes Music Store). Sample the attitude in this 15-song Listening Party.  The amazing versatility of guitar virtuoso Bill Lonero is showcased in “Slather,” Lonero’s new CD, featuring a mix of rock, Latin/Cuban, blues, and classical music, in selections both electrified and acoustic.  With her Academy Awards and nominations for acting, directing, and composing — not to mention an extraordinary singing career spanning five decades — it’s not surprising that Barbra Streisand is an expert in music written for film. In an exclusive interview, Streisand talks about her latest release, “The Movie Album,” in which she performs some of her favorite songs from movies past, written by such luminaries as Charlie Chaplin, Stephen Sondheim, and Andre Previn. Browse the iTunes Music Store to find nearly 50 albums by Barbra Streisand.  Goldfrapp presents a new “Twist” in this single from its second album, “Black Cherry.” Rolling Stone calls the album “both retro and futuristic, like vintage synth pop heard through a wall of distortion.”  “The other CDs were me, but the new songs are more intimate,” says soulful singer Avant of his new CD, “Private Room.” Let Avant “Read Your Mind” (available on the iTunes Music Store) in the first single and music video from the album.  Recently stomping past Madonna and Britney to reach the Number One slot on MTV’s “Total Request Live,” P.O.D.’s “Will You” is the debut single and video from the San Diego rock band’s newly released album, “Payable on Death.” Visit the iTunes Music Store for more P.O.D. |
