Song titles: "Her Favorite Color," "Easier Gone," "What's A Little Heartache" (BMG)

Tell me more: On Jan. 9, country music great Jason Aldean released not one, not two, but three advance tracks from his highly-anticipated album Songs About Us. All three of the outstanding cuts appear to foreshadow another top-tier release from the Macon, Georgia native. "Her Favorite Color" is an emotional love song painted with atmospheric sonics, Aldean's signature lead vocals and poetic lyrics that tap into romance celebrated against an American landscape. The bewitching duet "Easier Gone" features Aldean sharing lead and harmony vocals with his wife Brittany Aldean; the third song "What's A Little Heartache" is a decidedly modern track that blends dance, country and pop into its infectious run. Songs About Us will feature 20 new tracks, and will be available on April 24. Information: JasonAldean.com.

Tell me more: Those looking forward to hearing Mumford & Sons' forthcoming sixth album Prizefighter (due Feb. 20) are in luck; the band has just released the sumptuous new song "The Banjo Song." The song was co-written by Aaron Dessner and Jon Bellion, with the track's probing and hopeful message detailed via a luxurious mix of vocal harmonies and nuanced Americana musicianship. "The Banjo Song" follows the previously-issued introductory tracks "Rubber Band Man" and the album's title track. Information: mumfordandsons.com.
Title: "Boat Rocker" (Big Stir Records)
You might like if you enjoy: New Order, The Church, power pop music
Tell me more: One of many strong cuts pulled from the Jack Rubies' 21st century reunion album Visions In The Bowling Alley (due Jan. 23 via Big Stir Records), "Boat Rocker" is an upbeat cut that blends '80s indie rock with modern-day power pop. The driving cut recalls the magic of vintage New Order, but comes wrapped in the United Kingdom-based Jack Rubies' own postpunk pop soundscape first established during their 1980s and 1990s run on TVT Records.
