Jennifer Nettles of country duo Sugarland previewed some of her new solo music for members of the media and many say the album is said to have a 70’s vibe, with the first single expected to be released next month.

The Lumineers: “Ho! I don’t think you’re right for him, Hey!…” (music)

The Lumineers self-titled debut album will be released August 20th as a deluxe edition, containing five bonus tracks and a DVD featuring more than 25 minutes of stage performance, behind-the-scenes footage and interviews chronicling the band’s life on the road and rise to fame over the past year.
