Fleetwood Mac --> Lady Antebellum

In my opinion, Stevie Nicks, from Fleetwood Mac, is one of the greatest singers from the past 50 years.

Check out her awesome collaboration on CMT Crossroads with Lady Antebellum! LOVE IT!!

Check back tomorrow to see who I connect Lady Antebellum with and for more music that's worth a listen!

Colbie Caillat --> Fleetwood Mac

It's true!! Colbie Caillat has met Fleetwood Mac on many occasions. Her father was a music producer and co-produced their albums Rumours and Tusk.

Crazy!!

For Fleetwood Mac, I think I'll just go ahead and share my favorite song of theirs, "Landslide".

Jason Reeves --> Colbie Caillat

Jason Reeves has written a number of songs, including a couple for Colbie Caillat. Have you heard of "Bubbly"? Yeah, that was written by him.

Check out this collaboration he did with Colbie called "No Lies". I am in love with this song!!

Kara DioGuardi --> Jason Reeves

Kara DioGuardi has had her music featured on over 100 million records. 100 million +.

HOLY COW!

Girl has undeniably got talent. Not only does she have talent, but she loves to discover talent. Kara explains in the beginning of this video how she found Jason Reeves and they even went on to write a song together.

Check out their original song "Terrified":

P.S. I promise there will be a post tomorrow, unlike the last week or so. I've been moving and Worth a Listen got put on the back burner for a few days, for which I apologize.

Kelly Clarkson --> Kara Dioguardi

Kelly Clarkson released her first single off of her Wrapped in Red album, "Underneath the Tree". It's a little early for Christmas music in my opinion, but it's a good song none the less.

Kelly had a bonus track on her Stronger album featuring Kara Dioguardi called "The Sun Will Rise". Kara is a singer-songwriter and has written songs for many artists (Kelly, Carrie Underwood, P!nk, Cobra Starship).

Check back tomorrow to see who I link Kara Dioguardi to and for more music that's worth a listen!

Katy Perry --> Kelly Clarkson

Katy Perry has written a few songs for other artists. "Long Shot", performed by Kelly Clarkson, was one of those.

Kelly is currently working on a new album called Wrapped in Red. The album is set to drop later this month and is a Christmas album. Be sure to check back here for the latest on singles from Wrapped in Red.

To hold you over until then, check out some awesome covers by Kelly here.

Check back tomorrow to see who I link Kelly Clarkson with and for more music that is worth a listen.

Travie McCoy --> Katy Perry

Travie McCoy met Katy Perry through their producer and they were both on the 2008 Warped Tour. The two also dated for awhile.

Rumor has it, "Circle the Drain" is about their break-up...

Prism is Katy's new album and it is set to release in just a few days, but some of the album has leaked on Tumblr. Those songs alone make me extremely excited for her album!!

Check back tomorrow for who I connect Katy Perry with and for more music that's worth a listen!

Stooshe --> Travie McCoy

Stooshe and Travie McCoy were label mates and even collaborated on a song.

In 2012 Stooshe released a single called "Love Me" and it features the lead vocalist of Gym Class Heroes. Stooshe also opened for the band on The Papercut Chronicles II tour.

Stooshe's "Love Me" is a fun song with a new spin on an old sound. They also had Travie in the mix, which makes the song worth a listen.

Travie McCoy also recently released a song called "Rough Water", which features Jason Mraz. I am in love with this track. I think the two are just a great balance when it comes to musicality and style. They blend extremely well together and I would love to see them do another collaboration later on down the road.

Check back tomorrow to see who I connect Travie McCoy with and for more music that's worth a listen!

JLo --> Stooshe

JLo worked with several acts for her Dance Again World Tour. For her UK and Ireland concerts, Stooshe opened up the show.

Stooshe is a group of three women from London, England. Their sound varies based on the track and I like that they are so musically diverse.

"My Man Music" has more of an urban tropical feel in regards to sound and their harmonies are pure perfection.

"Black Heart" is all about the soulful sound, which these ladies are masters of. Their original concept was to be a more soulful and urban version of the Spice Girls. With this track, I think they've definitely achieved that goal and more.

Check back tomorrow to see who I connect Stooshe with and for more music that's worth a listen!

Enrique Iglesias --> JLO

Enrique Iglesias toured with Jennifer Lopez in 2012 on her Dance Again World Tour. This was JLo's first world tour, which to me is crazy! JLo is super good and she's been around for quite awhile. I would have assumed she had toured worldwide multiple times by now, but apparently not. For the North American leg of the tour, Enrique co-headlined with JLo.

JLo has a new album coming out in early 2014; however, she has released one single from the album already. The track is called "Live It Up" and it features Pitbull.

This single is good, but my favorite JLo song would have to be "Dance Again" featuring Pitbull, so it's a bit of a throwback track, but I love the beat.

While writing this, I'm beginning to notice that JLo and Pitbull have done quite a number of songs together. It's a collaboration that is definitely working, so I'm very excited to see if they've got any others on her new album.

I already said that this song is my favorite by JLo, but the mash-up of this song with Lady Gaga's "Americano" is fabulous! I realize it's by GLEE, which is a major turn off for some people. If you are one of those people, trust me and give it a shot! Kate Hudson does a GREAT job with the two songs!

Pitbull --> Enrique Iglesias

Pitbull and Enrique Iglesias have collaborated more than once and will be again for a track on Enrique's tenth studio album.

Check out their latest collaboration, "Tchu Tchu Tcha":

Enrique has already released three singles off of his new album. The album is set to drop sometime next month and it has also been announced that it will be a bilingual album. I'm very excited to see what Enrique has been working on and who he collaborates with next!

Check out his latest single, "Loco" feat. Romeo Santos:

In addition to his collaborations with Romeo Santos and Pitbull, Enrique has also announced that he will work with Marco Antonio Solis on a track for his new album.

Check back tomorrow to see who I connect Enrique Iglesias with and for more music that's worth a listen!

Jason Derulo --> Pitbull

Did you know that Jason Derulo has written songs for Pitbull? In fact, he wrote songs for Pitbull before his own solo career took off. On Jason's new album, he has a track called "Fire", which features Pitbull.

Recently Pitbull released a song called "Timber" and it features Ke$ha. The song hasn't gotten a whole lot of views on YouTube just yet, but I think that's about to change because it is so good and definitely worth a listen!

Check back tomorrow to see who I connect Pitbull with and for more music that's worth a listen!

Sami Tsui --> Jason Derulo

I'm working on a new concept for my blog -- six degrees of separation featuring artists that are worth a listen -- not 100% sure on how this will work out, but it's worth a try!

For those of you who don't know what I mean by six degrees of separation, it's the theory that you can connect yourself to someone else by way of six people or less. Maybe you've heard of someone having a Bacon Number -- it's the same thing, but that's referencing their connection to Kevin Bacon specifically.

I am going to start linking my posts with this same concept. Each artist will be linked to the day before and ultimately, the day to come.

Here we go!

To refresh your memory, I posted about Sam Tsui the other day and his cover of Miley's "Wrecking Ball". A few months ago Sam did a cover of "The Other Side" by Jason Derulo. He was even fortunate enough to get Jason himself in the video!

Today's featured song is by Jason Derulo and is called "Talk Dirty". It's been out for a couple months and was released as a single from his latest album, "Tattoos". The song features 2 Chainz and really shows his musical diversity.

Check back tomorrow to see who's next in this linkage of artists and for more music that's worth a listen!

Sam Tsui

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I am one of Sam Tsui's biggest fans. If anyone deserves to make it in the music industry, it's this guy. He's got serious talent and a great voice for pop music.

Check out his cover of "Wrecking Ball" because it is worth a listen!

Icona Pop

Everyone knows Icona Pop's hit song, "I Love It", but trust me when I say, the group will NOT be a one hit wonder. The Swedish duo's newest track, "All Night", is just as good, if not better than "I Love It".

"All Night" has a great dance beat and is worth a listen.

Sara Bareilles

It's a Sara Bareilles kind of day for me, so I've decided it's only right to make one of her tracks the song of the day.

It was hard to choose which song of Sara's to feature in my blog because let's face it, what song of hers isn't worth a listen?!? To sum it up, the woman is fabulous and so is her music.

"Bottle It Up" is my favorite song of hers and it is from her 2007 album "Little Voice", so it is a little bit of a throwback, but oh well. Once a great song, always a great song!

Check out Sara Bareilles' "Bottle It Up" because it is worth a listen!

Throwback: A*Teens

Let's be honest, we all remember A*Teens and their hit single "Upside Down (Bouncin' Off the Ceiling)", but who remembers all of the awesomeness in the music video!?

The Swedish group was popular in the late 90s and their video reminds us just how fabulous that decade was.

"Upside Down" is from their first album, Teen Spirit and it is an amazing blast from the past. Turn up the volume and prepare to jam out because this flashback is worth a listen!

New Politics

I feel like the term boy band doesn't apply to this group, but they are a group of guys, who sing alternative rock music and they're from Denmark. So basically they're adorable, they can sing and they have accents. What could be better?!

New Politics released "Harlem" in late February, but it is just about to get some Top 40 radio love in the next couple of months.

"Harlem" has a great sound that is different than the usual rock sound and completely different than the traditional boy band sound. If I was to compare their sound to another group, I'd say they're sort of like A Silent Film.

Check out their unique sound and their soon to be hit single, "Harlem". New Politics are worth a listen.

Katy Perry

Katy Perry's "Walking on Air" is her latest single and in my opinion, is the best off of Prism so far.

For me, anything by Katy Perry is automatically worth a listen.

And just for fun, some Katy Perry music from her previous album. The track is called "Pearl" and it is my all-time favorite song of hers.
