Summer Anthems for 2010


Sure Valentines Day is just around the corner, but summer’s cool breezes, sun, surf  and parties are already here. So, to enjoy the carefree days ahead I’ve compiled a list again of the summer anthems for the year.Rather than rhyme off the songs that reference summer in their title or lyrics. I'll be dishin' out songs that will inspire you to think of nothing but blue skies, scorching heat and white sand. Take a break from the daily grind.

1. Candy in the Sun  by Swirl 360
Summer wouldn't be summer without sun, surf and sand. Probably one of the songs you'll be singing out with your friends. This track was included in the soundtrack of the movie Never Been Kissed by  Drew Barrymore and David Arquette.

2. First of Summer by Urbandub
If you're looking for a perfect song that will kick off your summer escapades, then I suggest putting this song on your playlist. Started with slow drumbeat then a sudden burst of  "Parked car, this night sky,Makes city lights shine like diamonds" followed by the cheesy line "Our song plays on the radio", Panalo! For some reason Urbandub has always come up with a summer anthem from every album they release.

3.Amber by 311
Sweet and mellow reggae song that will put you in a relaxed mode while looking at the beach. This song was included in the summer theme movie 50 First Dates by Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore.

4.Love in New Wave -  Electrico
An awesome awesome song from Singaporean band Electrico taken from the album Hip City.  This song makes me  forget about my worries and just want to make love in new wave.

5.Kickin' It With You - Jason Mraz
A new song taken from the movie soundtrack When In Rome. Probably not as adorable compare to his previous hit "I'm Yours' but Mr. Mraz never ceased to amazed me. Listen to this while you're walkin with special someone on the beach.

6.Strong as the Sun - Astronauts
This was supposed to be included in my  summer anthem last year. Another song you'll be listening when you just want to lay down on the beach and sip on some cold drinks.

7.Do You Remember - Jay Sean feat Lil Jon and Sean Paul
Great follow up effort after his first hit "Down". Another radio-friendly hit, and Jay Sean sounded great on these verses with great auto tune-less verses. Feel good music right here, perfect for the ladies, but I really respect perfection.


8.Soak Up The Sun - Sheryl Crow
She's just talking about how things suck for her, but she's still happy. She's telling everyone to lighten up. Sunny days make me happy.




9.One Day - Matishyahu
Not exactly a summer song but the first time I heard this I thought it was great not only because it was catchy and well done, but because the lyrics are really saying something.

10. Pure Shores - All Saints
The song is about escaping reality, to a paradise that comes to life in the book and the movie known as "The Beach". This song is great for getting it on, like in the beach.
