Finally! The wait is over! iTunes has finally updated their store with new free tracks for this week. And there are some gems!

1. Raheem DeVaughn - "Woman"

We begin with a track from Raheem DeVaughn called "Woman". For starters, is that a smooth name or what? But that's not all he's got going for him.

This particular track is Grammy-nominated. Yes, you heard me right. This track has been nominated for "Best Male R&B Vocal Performance" at the 2008 Grammys.

Raheem is a premium artist on the verge of explosion. It's rare you get a song of this quality for free. Download it immediately.


2. James Otto - "Just Got Started Lovin' You"

Next is a great country track from James Otto. I'm not terribly familiar with James Otto's music, but he has a sonorous bass voice with just a hint of sauciness to it. Plus, he's a local Fort Lewis Navy boy, so holler!!

Apparently this song is #28 on the country charts right now, so it's probably getting some radio play. It didn't blow me away, but I dug it. Check it out.


3. Pedro Capo - "Esta Noche"

Honestly, some of the best unknown tracks iTunes pulls out are the latino pop ones. This week's is from Pedro Capo. Pedro Capo is the son of Bobby Capo, who was an extremely famous Puerto Rican singer in his day.

And continuing in the tradition of latino musical sons, Pedro is hot. Not Enrique Iglesias hot, but he's got his own thing going on.

I love the excitement and tradition of this music. Pick it up this week or face paying $.99 for it next week.
