Hear Rolling Stone’s Favorite New Tracks, Including Michael Jackson and The Raveonettes
19 February 2008- Michael Jackson, Akon and will.i.am, “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’ 2008″
Akon remakes MJ’s jam as a surprisingly soulful piano ballad. [Listen]-[Review]
The Raveonettes, “Aly, Walk With Me”
The Danish duo’s stark, pulsating shoegazer ballad burns slowly until the guitars erupt.

Janet Jackson, “Feedback”
A high-voltage club jam with thumping, robotic beats and Jackson’s vocals digitized so she sounds like a brand-new megapop superstar.

Aidan John Moffat, “Hungry Heart”
Ex-Arab Strap singer delivers a dirgelike Springsteen cover that’s just as moving as the original and slightly dirtier.
[Review]
Bob Mould, “Again and Again”
Over acoustic guitars and synths, Mould delivers a furious midlife-breakup anthem. Proof that old punks still rage.
