Songs of the Summer

The Tunes That Defined Summer 2013
by Adam Roberts

  Whether or not we would like to admit it, summer is over, and with the end of summer comes the end of summer hits.  Seeing as there is usually a wide selection of summer music, I will be reviewing my five favorite hits songs from this summer.

  “Treasure”, by Bruno Mars, was a good tune for the summer.  The ‘80’s retro feel is very Micheal Jackson-esque and is good for a hot summer’s day.  

  “Get Lucky”, by Daft Punk, was also a retro-inspired song with a ‘70’s feel.  It is a very groovy song, and easy to dance and sing along to.

  “Come On”, by Dreamz, is a song from a self-proclaimed boy band.  It's a little cheesy, but it's a fun song for the summer.

  “Bring me the Night”, by Sam Tsui featuring Kina Grannis, is next on the list.  While as a slow, ballad-type song it isn't in line with the fun, poppy style of my other picks, but it still was a favorite and deserves recognition.

  “Brave”, by Sara Bareilles, from her album The Blessed Unrest, is one of the many gems from the album, not to mention her entire career.  It’s a nice, feel-good song to listen to.

  The laid back, carefree sounds of the Summer may be in the past, but but new music is always on the way.  Find new favorites, and make the most of your new school year.
