Top 5: Songs of Summer

June 2, 2010

Don Henleys The Boys of Summer is fine for Friday night karaoke, but for
outdoor barbeques and road trips were relying on these five great new
albums from fellow females:


Vancouver-based Hannah
Georgas
is the It-girl on the Canadian music scene right now and
rightly so. Theres a touch of Emily Haines in her, and her debut This
is Good
is exactly that.


Janelle
Monáe
magically mashes nearly every musical genre, from funk to
classical, on her epic 18-song album The ArchAndroid. With each
track effortlessly flowing into the next, you can leave it to play start
to finish.


The piano pop of Diane
Birchs
Bible Belt calls to mind Carole King, long hair and
large floppy hats, and we like that.

 


An Illinois native with a gorgeous, gutsy voice, Lissie
is perfect for porch swings and lakeside cabins. She doesnt release her
full-length album till the end of this month, but tie yourself over
until then with her EP "Why You Runnin."


I Will Be
from all-girl group Dum
Dum Girls
has that ’60s pop-rock sound that makes you wish you dated
a bad boy on a motorcycle. No surprise then that the album involved the
co-writer of My Boyfriends Back.
