Kenny Chesney has teamed up with Grace Potter on his latest single, 'You and Tequila,' from the country star's fourteenth album 'Hemingway's Whiskey.'

'You and Tequila,' combines Chesney's smooth, country voice with the rock-influenced vocals of Potter. Chesney wrote the simple, honest song about a complicated relationship, explaining, "When it comes to you / Oh, the damage I could do / It's always your favorite sins / That do you in."

There is a quietness about 'You and Tequila' with a great emphasis on the vocals over an unobtrusive acoustic guitar. Potter lends soulful harmonies in the refrain, singing, "You and Tequila make me crazy / Run like poison in my blood / One more night could kill me, baby / One is one too many, one more is never enough."

The Strokes have released 'Taken for a Fool,' the latest single from the rockers' fourth album, 'Angles.'

In 'Taken for a Fool,' the Strokes experiment with Albert Hammond Jr.'s guitar riffs that recall their sophomore album, 'Room on Fire.' The band incorporates computer-generated music while sticking to their rock influences.

An overall upbeat track, 'Taken for a Fool' is the song most reminiscent of the old Strokes sound on 'Angles.' The chorus is light and uncomplicated: "You get taken all the time for a fool / I don't know why / You're so gullible but I don't mind / That's not the problem / And I don't need anyone with me right now / Monday, Tuesday is my weekend."

Taking Back Sunday have released the first single, 'Faith (When I Let You Down),' off their self-titled album due out June 28. Longtime TBS fans have been eagerly-awaiting the release of new LP, which features the original 'Tell All Your Friends' line-up from 2002.

The Long Island natives stay true to their roots, but the production value has improved since their stint with the small Chicago-based Victory Records, thanks to producer Eric Valentine, who also produced their 2006 release, 'Louder Now.'

'Faith (When I Let You Down)' is filled with catchy minimalist guitar riffs and relies heavily on power chords, giving off the traditional emo/pop-punk vibes that fans have grown to love.

This month, Katy Perry and Kanye West have taken the No. 1 spot from Adele's powerful 'Rolling in the Deep' with their chart-climbing 'E.T.' remix.

The May charts also welcome 13 newcomers, including frequent chart-toppers such as Lady Gaga and Rihanna, as well as newer artists like Wiz Khalifa and The Band Perry, who have all made their way onto this month's Top 40.

The Black Eyed Peas' 'Just Can't Get Enough,' My Chemical Romance's Sing and Dr. Dre's collaboration with Eminem and Skylar Grey, are still holding strong on the chart. However, they may need to watch out for Lupe Fiasco, who has jumped up seven spots this month to No. 7 with 'The Show Goes On.'

This month boasts several notable releases, including Bon Iver's self-titled follow-up to 2007's 'For Emma, Forever Ago.' This summer, Bon Iver mastermind Justin Vernon will be touring with the nine-piece band that contributed to the eponymous album, which is scheduled to be released on June 21.

'American Idol' favorite David Cook is set to drop his new album, 'This Loud Morning,' on the June 28, with an all-star cast of songwriters and collaborators.

All Time Low will also be releasing their fourth full-length album this month, including a track which features Maja Ivarsson of The Sounds.

Cage the Elephant has released 'Around My Head,' the latest single from the band's sophomore album, 'Thank You, Happy Birthday.'

The track has a blues punk feel, coupled with an air of Lou Reed, which shines through Cage the Elephant's pop-punk melodies and breakdowns.

Lead singer Matt Shultz explains to a girl, "You got me tangled like a bread tie twisted / I don't think it's fair."

'Around My Head' is fun tune, exemplifying all that Cage the Elephant does best. The band shouts, "Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ah, ah, ah, ah" just before the chorus, encouraging audiences to get excited.

Notorious nu metal group Korn have released a new track, 'Get Up!' featuring Skrillex, who is best known for his dubstep mixes and short time as the vocalist for From First to Last.

'Get Up' enters with a simple beat of anticipation, but after the first ten seconds, there is an explosion of sound, marrying both the metal and dubstep worlds.

The refrain is simple. Over heavy guitar riffs, frontman Jonathan Davis repeats with anger, "Shut the f--- up, get up."
