As we approach the increasing heat of August, it’s a good time for some refreshing music. This Musician Mondays, we’ve chosen three singles from the upcoming albums of some of our favorite artists. Give them a listen below:

A Fine Frenzy is the musical moniker for Alison Sudol, a 24-year-old virtuoso. Her sophomore album, Bomb in a Birdcage, will be released on September 8. Listen to “Blow Away” here or download it at A Fine Frenzy’s site. This MP3 was provided for free after A Fine Frenzy received over 1 million followers on Twitter.

Imogen Heap’s voice is very distinct from its appearance on the soundtracks of Garden State and The O.C., and her third solo effort show her explore the range of her unique style. “First Train Home” shows that her new work will be a bit more stripped down than her previous electronic-influenced albums. Ellipse will be released on August 25.

Well, we suppose this one is not from an album, but it is a fun dance tune by Kid Cudi featuring a bare-bones piano version of “Poker Face” by Lady Gaga. And with appearances by Kanye West and Common, how can any Chicagoan turn it down?
