NewNowNext Music Dispatch: Rilo Kiley, Jens Lekman, and more!

As is the custom, our pal Colin at NewNowNext has provided us with a bite-sized rundown of the week in music. Enjoy!

  • Video of the Week: Rilo Kiley, "Breakin' Up"
    To promote their annual Woodie Awards, mtvU (formerly College TV), released this teaser performance by Rilo Kiley of their track, “Breakin’ Up.” The Woodies, which award "the music voted best by college students," actually aired last night. Whatever – you only watch those shows for the performances, anyway. Check the amazing Jenny Lewis give more cowbell, after the break!
  • Swedish singer Jens Lekman, and his feel-good, ‘60s sound, are finally getting some U.S. attention. Here’s his latest video, “Sipping on the Sweet Nectar.
  • Alicia Keys is on a mission with her new CD, As I Am. Check the video for the second single, “Like You’ll Never See Me Again.” Rapper Common (her Smokin' Aces co-star) plays Alicia’s man!
  • Sara Bareilles: This young, California girl’s made a name for herself at Epic Records (in part thanks to her huge success on iTunes) and for her debut album, Little Voices. This video features a mini-Sarah giving private performances for those willing to pay.
  • We’ve got the buzz on Lupe Fiasco, the “nerdy, skateboarding rapper with the outsider image,” and his new album.
