Last week’s new release slate was an absolute barn-burner. This week’s: yeah, not so much. Dig in:

 

  • Previously released tunes from Joshua Radin and The Swell Season,
    as well as a new duet from Rachael Yamagata and Semisonic’s Dan Wilson, highlight the soundtrack for the new weepie Dear John.
  •  

  • Mega-selling rapper Lil Wayne takes a stab at hard rock with his long-awaited latest, Rebirth.
  •  

  • ’90s sensation Michael Bolton is back this week with a
    Target exclusive, a collection of hits and favorites recorded
    Live at the Royal Albert Hall.
  •  

  • While his brothers take a brief break from the biz, Nick Jonas and his new band The Administration are up with a side project, Who I Am.
  •  

  • Finally, Sherry Ann insisted that I not fail to mention (as if I would!)
    Almost Everything I Wish I’d Said the Last Time I Saw You, the new album from “One Tree Hill” regular Mike Grubbs and his band Wakey!Wakey!
