    Not to be confused with their track That’s How Love Goes, That’s How Love Is is a previously unreleased track that has been unearthed and is now available on iTunes.

    When Micheal Jackson died earlier this year, most figured that we’d hear many songs from his personal vault, but I didn’t imagine that there was anything left from the Jackson 5 era unreleased. But I was wrong.

    That’s How Love Is features Jermaine and Michael going back and forth about love with big brother giving the little brother some of his love philosophy.

    You can listen to the track by going to the J5 website and signing up for their newsletter. The track will immediately be ready for full streaming after you sign up.

    The song is part of an upcoming Jackson 5 compilation called I Want You Back! Unreleased Masters, which features old J5 favorites remixed, as well as previously unreleased tracks. The album comes out on November 10.

  • First Listen: Allison Iraheta’s “Friday I’ll Be Over U”

    Allison Iraheta was the female favorite in last season’s American Idol. She was one of the younger contestants, but carried a voice well beyond her years.

    It was impressive to watch her be a teenager on the stage, slightly nervous and had a look on her face that said, “I can’t believe I’m here.” But once the music came on, she turned into one of American Idol’s most polished singers.

    With her new single, Friday I’ll Be Over U, she and her producers do something that’s going to be very necessary with her. They’re keeping her young. She has such an “adult” sounding voice, but in order for her to sell records, her young spirit is going to have to not only shine through, it’s going to have to slap us across the face when we’re listening to her songs.

    When I sent this over to Money Mike to listen to, I said they were turning her into a younger Kelly Clarkson. He was in agreement, though with a little bit of Avril Lavigne thrown in.

    Check out for yourself. You can listen to her single at popeater.com and also read the interview they have with her.

    Come back here and let us know what you think. Is this as strong of a single for her as I think it is?

  • First Look: Carrie Underwood’s Cowboy Casanova

    Is it too soon for me to say that Carrie Underwood is leaving Kelly Clarkson in the dust?

    I’ve always compared the two American Idol winners because they were both the most commercially successful acts to come out of the show. Because of how successful her second album was, I figured that Clarkson was going to be untouchable. But the one who seems to be untouchable is Underwood.

    Cowboy Casanova is the first single off her new album and she looks great throughout the video. It’s a fun song about a man who will break your heart; the kind of song that she’s perfected.

    And is it just me, or does everyone else think all of these songs are about former love Tony Romo? If they are, I’d say her season is shaping up to be better than his.
