Jessica Lea Mayfield and her recently released Nonesuch debut, Tell Me, were featured on NPR's Weekend Edition Saturday this past weekend. Mayfield spoke with host Scott Simon about her new album, produced by The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach.

"Meeting, matching, looking for love and struggling to keep it are all subjects for songs on Jessica Lea Mayfield's new album," says Simon by way of introduction. "Jessica Lea Mayfield is just 21, but her songs are wry, blunt and ring with bitter experiences."
