Florence & The Machine
"What Kind Of Man"
Republic
Florence Welch usually fluctuates between indie-pop siren and art-rock weirdo, but on this head-spinning ambient-R&B single, she's both. "With one kiss, you inspired a fire of devotion," she sings, proving few singers do widescreen melodrama better. --Ryan Reed
Florence & The Machine: The Billboard Cover Story
Jamey Johnson
"You Can"
Big Gassed Records
An upright bass strut morphs into big-band brassiness before nuggets of honky-tonk wisdom give way to a vaudevillian hook on "You Can," which precedes Jamey Johnson's new album. It's an unexpectedly frisky ping-pong of musical styles for a veteran trad-country singer-songwriter, and that's a good thing.--Jason Lipshutz
Jamey Johnson's 'Christmas' Gift to Fans: New Music
Charlie Puth Featuring Meghan Trainor
"Marvin Gaye"
Atlantic
Charlie Puth plays a game of "spot the Marvin reference" on his debut single, repackaging lines from a number of soul classics in the not-so-subtly titled tune. Trainor lends Puth some of her doo-wop swagger, but the track seems more academic exercise than an attempt at seduction. --Elias Leight
Alabama Shakes Unleash Fresh Songs in New York
Alabama Shakes
"Don't Wanna Fight"
Ato Records
Alabama Shakes' Brittany Howard makes raw pain feel sensual, and "Don't Wanna Fight" is their sauciest offering yet. "Why can't I catch my breath? I'm gonna work myself to death," she bellows over reverbed guitar, which evokes dusty, Daptone-school retro-funk rather than the band's usual Dixie rock. --Dan Hyman
