Summer music preview

Hungerford Bridge in London, UK

So it is the summer and the sun is shining and the trees are green again.
Time for long days full of friends, and drink, and laughter, all to a wonderful backdrop.

Yes it is nearly time for my summer mix tape. However before that happens I must take a look at the songs that may make it.

'None of Dem' (ft. Royksopp) - Robyn


Just so dark and club ready. This just oozes close dance floor sex.


'Tightrope' (ft. Big Boi) - Janelle Monáe


I have joined the band wagon with pride - genius.


'Acapella' - Kelis


Will most likely be the gay summer club anthem of 2010.


'Obsessions' - 'Marina and the Diamonds


Just makes me want to bop along all day.


'Skinny Genes' - Eliza Doolittle


The whistle - that damn whistle just makes this into something great.


'Your Love' - Keane


A grower.


'Dinosaurs' - The Maccabees


This just smells of summer evenings to me. No idea why.


'Paper Romance' - Groove Armada


Brilliant. One of those songs that gets better and better with each listen.

It is looking that way, but hopefully something else will come up.

I love the song, even if some of the other osngs on the album are slightly more dancy.

I want that Groove Armada album ASAP!
One would've guessed the whole 80's electro pop thing would be dead by now but it's getting all these awesome reinventions that it seems it's here for good.
