Kelly Clarkson to release country version of Mr. Know It All

When a country version of “Mr. Know It All” started circulating a few weeks ago, no one really knew what was going on. The sleeper hit, which eventually managed to reach top 10 in the Billboard charts, was already on its way down the charts when the countrified version appeared. Fans, myself included, really liked the new version though and wondered if it will ever be released on iTunes.

Until today, I thought Marina &  The Diamonds was some sort of an indie goddess who might give Lana Del Rey a run for her money.

John Mayer - Shadow Days single

You know, I was never a big John Mayer fan until his last album. I’m usually not into acoustic stuff, but I thought Battle Studies was a fantastic album.

“Shadow Days”, John Mayer’s newest single, is not quite what I expected, but I absolutely love it.
