What is the sound of Starbucks? Earlier this month, Sonya Kitchel's CD, "Words Came Back to Me," became the second release in its "Hear Music Debut" label, sold in its coffee joints and in record stores nationwide. Today, a look at how Starbucks is cornering the market on mature, sultry-jazz pop with Mark Rahner, a reporter at the Seattle Times. Also: Baaba Maal will share his unique blend of Senegalese pop, traditional West African song, reggae and dance music. And finally, the Boston folk-rock duo The Weepies. They're not shedding any tears since their new album peaked at number one on the iTunes folk chart.
