Love kicking off the new year with fantastic new music to re-energize the iPod. And this week's New Music Tuesday does not disappoint.

It's like going shopping and everything you try on fits like a glove, with no alterations required.

Umm yeah. That's my way of saying that I loved everything that I heard this morning and my credit card felt it.  I was in a purchasing iTunes trance.

But really I can't be blamed...there were so many brilliant gems.

Some of the standout tracks...

If you like that retro vibe of Duffy and Amy Winehouse, you will totally fall for 'Cat & Mouse' by Nikki & Rich.

The Santigold and Snotty remix of 'Chasing Pirates' by Norah Jones is a must check out.

New names to get familiar with (and their albums)...Woodpigeon (Die Stadt Muzikanten) and Laura Veirs (July Flame).

With Season 9 of American Idol kicking off tonight [so excited], former finalist, Jason Castro has a solid new offering. A fantastic collaboration with Serena Ryder, called 'You Can Always Come Home'.
 

For all things country, a beautiful new song by Lady Antebellum, 'Ready to Love Again'.

And a track that I can't get out of my head...'Horchata' by Vampire Weekend.

So nothing more really needs to be said other than 'Go forth and download'.
