Summer Ballad

Aside from the heat and humidity, I typically enjoy summer. The longer days. The grilling. And the overall relaxed nature exuding from everyone. It's a good time! Going to work still sucks though, but that's the case anytime of the year. But my ride to work becomes more enjoyable as I try to sing along when Corrine Bailey Rae's Closer comes on! Loving this track! Not for what she's saying because I can barely understand her mumblings, but the music! Oh the music makes up for it! It's a funky melody that incites movement, but it's so soothing and smooth that a gentle head bob will do. It totally reminds me of being at a cookout everyone has eaten, some of the guests left hours ago and only the truly ignant ones are left. The sun has gone down, the porch lights are on. Everyone eventually starts gathering around the card table, with players talking their ish and laughing when someone turns up the radio...




Niiiiiiiiiiiice! You can't help but groove to this ya'll! Or sway as you head over to get another hot dog under the aluminum foil. Definitely a summer time hit in my opinion! What songs do you have on your 2010 Summer soundtrack?

See You In Seven

I love, love, love this song! I didn't know there was a video. Welll how would I? Lol. Let's see my 2010 summer playlist? Well anything by Drizzy Drake. Heh. For real though. I like Ursher's 'There Goes My Baby' - that sounds summery. Jaheim's 'Finding My Way Back'. I like Cee-Lo's 'I Want You.' Big Boi's 'Lookin For Ya.' That's all I got right now. Lol.

I can't call my summer track just yet... but I do L-O-V-E this song. It is a shame the album isn't as hot.

The Sea is just a beautiful album.
