Most Likely to be this summer's anthem...
Calvin Harris "Summer"
You know how last summer in May you were jamming to "Blurred Lines" like you couldn't get enough of it? Well...come August Mr. Robin Thicke had worn out his welcome.
I have a feeling that's how DJ Calvin Harris's track "Summer" is going to pan out for Summer 2014. It's kind of like looking at someone's online dating profile...they look really great online, but then...
Most Likely to be the song you won't admit you know...
Iggy Azalea, "Fancy"
Face it. The song is catchy. I mean, I catch myself walking around the house saying, "I'm so fancy" about 30 times a day. It makes it a little more okay that Jimmy Fallon did this song in his lip sync battle, right?
Most Likely to be the guy in every song this summer...
Sam Smith
Move over Pitbull! There's a new guy in town and he is sending every song he's on to the top of the charts! Even if you don't know his name you probably know some of the songs he's on...and trust me, this guy has got chops. Finally, a guy who doesn't liken taking a girl home and "getting it in" to a tree falling down (Timber, anyone?)
Album most likely to make you go, "Who is this?"...
Coldplay "Ghost Stories"
Coldplay's upcoming album, "Ghost Stories" is as haunting as its namesake. Gone are the rock n rolls sounds from the last few albums, and back is the chilling tone of Chris Martin that we all know and love. The song Midnight is my personal favorite...
Song most likely to make you love instrumental...
Lindsey Stirling, "Shatter Me"
Don't worry, this isn't your mom and dad's version of Beethoven's 8th Symphony. Lindsey Stirling is showing the industry that with an electronic flare, instrumental music can top the charts.
Song most likely to put her on the map...
Sia, "Chandelier"
Sia is no newbie to the music industry...but for whatever reason, most of her stateside fame is attributed to being featured on other artists songs. Well, "Chandelier" is proof that this chick is too good to be backing up anyone.
Song most likely to confuse you...
Lana Del Ray, "West Coast"
Honestly Lana, are you indie? are you retro? WHAT GENRE ARE YOU? Well, West Coast proves Ms. Del Ray can't be labeled...and something tells me that's just the way she wants it...
Album most like to plummet him to stardom...
Ray Lamontagne, "Supernova"
Ray has been part of the underground music following for over a decade, with songs like "Trouble" being sung by the likes of many music contestants. However, "Supernova" has an easy feel that is just perfect for summer. It's a rarity because you can actually listen to the whole album...however I'm partial to "She's the one"
So if that doesn't get you geared up for summer I'm not sure what will...however, I'm sure come August we'll all be ready for some fresh tunes.
