THE SINGLES FILE

A weekly playlist for the listener with a one-track mind.

Amy Winehouse: "Rehab"

The British neo-soul crooner once refused to go to rehab, but thankfully she's not so shy about coming stateside. With Winehouse's new album set to land on American shores this spring, check this red-hot single in the meantime.

Charlotte Hatherley: "Behave"

Trying to keep a crush in check, the former Ash singer approximates the butterflies in her stomach with a clever, quivering guitar riff.

Justice: "Phantom Part I"

With chopped-up samples and mucked-up keyboard lines, these Parisians coax the ghost out of the machine and onto the dance floor.

Young Jeezy: "Rock Star"

A recent non-album cut finds the raspy rapper hangin' tough over distorted guitars, referencing prefab boy-bands of yore: "New kid on the block / I had the right stuff."

Of Montreal: "Gronlandic Edit"

This Athens, Ga., outfit can make some pretty grating indie-rock, but this tune struts with the endearing awkwardness of a vintage Sparks track.

Jin: "You're Fired"

Good look: calling Rosie O'Donnell out on her recent racist outburst. Bad look: firing back with raps about pizza and trips to Burger King. Really bad look: sampling Donald Trump.
