I just put my iTunes library on shuffle and let it play all day.

These days, I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I'm obsessed with the new Kelly Clarkson and Mandy Moore CDs. Two years ago, you never would have seen me confess to listening to girl pop singers like those, but both of them really stepped up to the plate this year and put out ultra-personal, ultra-mature records that redefine what "pop" music can sound like. If you haven't heard either of those records (Clarkson's "My December" and Moore's "Wild Hope"), then check them out.
