MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE

Danger Days

After the grand ambitions of 2006's The Black Parade, MCR plays it looser on an album (subtitled The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys) spiked with punk-pop.

EL DEBARGE

Second Chance

On this sumptuous, sophisticated set-his first in 16(!) years-DeBarge's famous falsetto remains remarkably intact. That croon will still make the ladies swoon.

ROBYN

Body Talk

Robyn's third 2010 release combines highlights from Body Talk Pt. 1 and Pt. 2 with five new dance-pop tracks. The electro-infused results are seriously body-rocking.

JAZMINE SULLIVAN

Love Me Back

This gritty R&B singer opens her second album riffing on Mary J. Blige's "Be Happy." And like old-school MJB, she brings plenty of drama to tunes such as "10 Seconds."
