'Who Are You When I'm Not Looking' is Blake Shelton's second single off his recently released EP, 'All About Tonight.'

The melodically-strolling, mid-tempo ballad has Shelton questioning his muse about her fetishes, especially the ones he never sees: "Do you break things when you get mad / Eat a box of chocolate 'cause you're feeling bad / Do you paint your toes 'cause you bite your nails."

'All About Tonight' is the second installment of Shelton's "Six Pak" series, following the March-released 'Hillbilly Bone.' To hear 'Who Are You When I'm Not Looking,' check out AOL Radio's New Country First station.

Cali Swag District, the same group that taught us all how to 'Dougie,' has just come out with a brand new song, titled 'Where You Are.' And, this time around, they've decided to sample a classic hit from none other than Michael Jackson.

The centerpiece of the new song is Jackson's 1972 hit 'I Wanna Be Where You Are,' which has been previously covered by Marvin Gaye and The Fugees, among others. In the hands of Cali Swag District, though, the song truly takes on an entirely new form.

Although Jackson's timeless voice and early Motown influence pervade the new song, Cali Swag District's lyrical dexterity and flow add a distinctly hip-hop hue to their musical mosaic. With each rapper taking his turn to drop a tight rhyme, the men from Inglewood, Ca. firmly put their own stamp on an undeniably classic R&B anthem.

Keri Hilson has reached her 'Breaking Point' in the new single of the same name, off her upcoming sophomore album 'No Boys Allowed.'

Over a strutting, mid-tempo Timbaland-produced back beat, Keri soars vocally, incorporating an improvisational gospel style, while she lays down the law of love, stating "some women can be lied to / And cheated on, and beated on," but admits, "See I done did that / But this time, there's a limit to my love."

Keri Hilson has a history of successfully pairing up with hip-hop producer Timbaland, on such singles as 2008's 'Scream' and 'Return the Favor,' as well as the 2007 smash hit 'The Way I Are.'

Gym Class Heroes frontman Travie McCoy releases another Top 40 contender, his new single 'Need You.'

Featured on his debut solo album, 'Lazarus,' the pop track is carried by a melodic, looping electric guitar run with tapping percussion, as Travie confesses to his girl that he needs more time to let down his guard: "But there's a safe around my heart / I don't know how to let you in / And that's what keeps us apart / And that's why I need time."

'Need You' follows the Top 5 Billboard hit, 'Billionaire,' also on his July-released debut album. To hear 'Need You,' tune in to AOL Radio's New Pop First station.

Linkin Park's new track, 'Wretches and Kings' proves the alternative rock band is moving back to their rap-rock roots.

Opening with political activist Mario Savio's famous 'Bodies Upon the Gears' 1964 address ("And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop"), the song breaks into a full-disgruntled effort, with low-register, looping electro-beats helmed by Joe Hahn.

Mike Shinoda even comfortably slides back into his heavy rapping-role, despicably delivering lines of communist hysteria: "Don't fight the power, nobody gets hurt / If you haven't heard yet, then I'm letting you know, there ain't shit / We don't run when the guns are low / And no one make a move unless my people say so / Got everything out of control."

In his new song, 'What if I Kissed You,' Drake proves once again that he's not afraid to bend and blend musical genres.

Although the Stargate-produced song's beat is definitely categorized within the hip-hop realm, both the artist's silky smooth voice and alluringly romantic lyrics seem to be a direct descendant of yesterday's R&B titans. At the same time, however, the track's refrain has a unique quality usually reserved for pure pop songs.

By the time the song winds down, most listeners are left wondering about which musical category Drake belongs to, while plenty of others will surely be fantasizing about what would really happen if Drake actually kissed them.
