iTunes Single Of The Week New Music Tuesday: The Orwells ‘Who Needs You’ And Los Rakas ‘Sueño Americano’ Featured As Free Downloads

The iTunes music section features a curated selection of artists on new music Tuesday's. As a way of promotion they offer a new single each week as a free download so music lovers can enjoy and discover new musical acts. The Single Of The Week for April 15 is The Orwells with "Who Needs You" and Los Rakas with "Sueño Americano." The first track comes off of The Orwells' album "Disgraceland" set to drop on June 3. "Who Needs You" had been part of an EP the band released in September of last year and earlier this year performed on "Late Show With David Letterman." Guitarist Matt O'Keefe talked to Rolling Stone about being nervous or not performing in front of the legendary late night host. "Leading into it we weren't nervous at all," he said. "But being onstage to record the thing, and you see Letterman there and you're doing it — for about 10 seconds you're overcome with fear"

O'Keefe also added, "Then once we're into it, we're like 'We've done played the song a thousand times' and we just did our thing. Now looking back, it's funny reading all these things and seeing what people are saying, because what we were like is what we're always like. It's just that more people see you when you're on TV." Their performance on the show was a little strange as the frontman Mario Cuomo laid on the floor and did some pelvic thrusts then went on to sit in a chair where Letterman interviews guests. After their number was done Paul Shaffer mimicked his moves while they demanded an encore from the group. Watch the performance down below! Download the catchy "Who Needs You" here!

In the Latino section of the iTunes music store Los Rakas is being featured with their track "Sueño Americano." The bilingual hip-hop group is conformed by Panamanian cousins Raka Rich and Raka Dun. Their name is derived from the Panamanian slur "rakataka" which is a derogatory word for someone from the ghetto. Their song makes strong statements taking aim at the "American Dream" which they see as an unfulfilled promise. Most of their music is based on their own experiences as immigrants like the inability to work or attend school to being perceived as delinquents.
