The February 8 release of Jessica Lea Mayfield's Nonesuch Records debut album, Tell Me, is still two months away, but the excitement is already building. Stereogum recently included the album in its list of the 50 Most Anticipated Albums of 2011. And just today, Tell Me was among the pop-culture picks of the week from USA Today. Whitney Matheson of the paper's Pop Candy blog lists the album as the "Best thing I heard" this week, exclaiming: "Ooh, Jessica Lea Mayfield has an album out Feb. 8, and I'm already a fan. The record, Tell Me, was produced by The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach. Love her." Read more from the list at usatoday.com.
