Jet arrived from Australia in 2003 with a sound from classic British rock, a name from a Paul McCartney hit, and an album title, Get Born, from a Bob Dylan lyric. "Those influences were intentional, but we've had a lot more experiences to write about," says vocalist Chris Cester, who composes the band's songs with his brother Nic. The follow-up to their hit debut was shaped by the two-and-a-half years the band spent on a tour full of rock-star excess, as well as the Cesters' interest in another pair of singing siblings: the Everly Brothers. "When you're younger, you pass those songs off as sappy, but when you're older you understand that they have the deepest, most heartfelt sentiments," says Chris, who is all of 24 ("but when you're in a rock band on tour, that's like dog years"). Eve is set to release her first album in four years, and she warns fans: "Don't look for the girl from the first three albums." The rapper and actress says she's been listening to more reggae and Brazilian music, and on the Pharrell Williams-produced "Give It to Me," Eve even sings. "I've sung hooks but never a whole song with heart," she says. "I had to sing it over because I was so nervous." Dirty Pretty Things is the new band from former Libertine Carl Barat, and their debut, Waterloo to Anywhere, still captures the romance of rock 'n' roll, even without Pete Doherty. "It's cathartic and brash and a bit darker," says Barat. "It's about the loss of a dream."
