JOHN MAYER
Battle Studies
www.johnmayer.com
Dist: Sony Music Canada
The seven-time Grammy award winner’s fourth studio album Battle Studies was co-produced by John Mayer and Steve Jordan and debuts three years after his critically acclaimed 2006 album, Continuum. Incorporating the warmth, melodies and simplicity of 70’s and 80’s California rock/pop, Battle Studies
is a confessional, relaxed and liberated album recorded in a private
home in California where Mayer lived and worked over the course of six
months before wrapping at the famed Capitol Studios in Los Angeles. The
album’s first single, “Who Says” challenges conventional standards of
what one can accomplish or undertake - despite society’s constraints. Battle Studies
also showcases a reinterpretation of “Crossroads” and the famously
collaborative guitar player invited one of music’s brightest new
talents, Taylor Swift, to appear on “Half of my Heart.” Track Listing.

A
collaboration between Josh Homme, John Paul Jones and Dave Grohl was

involves me on drums, Josh Homme on guitar, and John Paul Jones playing
bass. That’s the next album. That wouldn’t suck." Of the nascent
project, Homme's wife Brody Dalle commented in July 2009 that "I'm not
at liberty to talk about it but I think [the project] is pretty fucking
amazing. Just beats and sounds like you’ve never heard before." Ladies

"You're
only as good as your worst song," says OneRepublic's front man and
chief songwriter Ryan Tedder. Not that he knows anything about writing
a dud. The 30-year-old born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, has obsessed over the
art of pop music for more than a decade. Along the way, he's worked
with Rihanna, Beyoncé, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer
Lopez, Leona Lewis (he shared a 2008 Best Record Grammy nod for her
"Bleeding Love"),"The writing approach I take for OneRepublic is
completely different from the approach I take with anyone else -- it's
infinitely harder," Tedder says. "These songs have to be personalized.
And I write each of them like it's the last one I'll be able to put
out." Waking up is the second studio album from OneRepublic and features the single “All The Right Moves.” Track Listing.

KARL WOLF
Nightlife

Dist: EMI Music Canada
Karl
Wolf clearly established himself on the global stage with his hit
single “Africa.” The multi-format radio smash made a mark in Canada as
well, as it was certified triple platinum a #1 single, #1 video, and a
gold ringtune. The singer/songwriter and producer has since crafted a
new stellar album Nightlife that is already achieving strong sales and
critical acclaim in his home territory and Japan. Loyal Karl Wolf fans
will not be disappointed, while the songs are definitely signature of
the Wolf, he has matured his sound and made an all round danceable, yet
relaxing record in one audio package. It also doesn’t lack its shortage
of hits like the powerful ballad “Hurting” the retro-pop “80’s Baby”
and the smash duet and lead single with newcomer Rime “Yalla Habibi”
(which means “Baby let’s go” in Arabic). Track Listing.

“Heartless.” Since then, Kris has had multiple songs appear on the
Billboard charts. His finale song, “No Boundaries,” peaked at #1 on the

knew Bieber was also a self-taught musician who plays the drums,
guitar, piano and trumpet. In October of 2008, Justin Bieber officially
signed to Island Records. His debut album, My World is an intimate look
into the mind of a budding young renaissance man. With production from
