A 'summer tone' song. The kind of thing you listen to in the sunshine or while playing volleyball. I have a hard time with these songs because I find myself trying to pay attention to the lyrics too much on the first few listens, so I don't actually know how I feel about the song until it's one listen too many. It's a pretty generic melody, nothing really sticks out. Singers voice isn't terrible, but isn't exactly original. The lyrics were pretty well done, though. I'd rather have read it as a poem.

Reminds me a lot Jamiroquai and Daft punk before the voice comes in. The voice is very Luther Vandross or Barry White. Deep and sultry. I like when the organ chimes in, but it needs to be dialed back a bit so you can still hear the bass/base beat. I really do like the sound, but I find myself look at the time at 2 minutes 10 seconds and feeling worried that the marker hasn't made it to the halfway point. I'm wondering where this song can go to keep it interesting. I skim through the rest. It stays pretty repetitive. For the background in many types of movie scenes, this is a great tune. For listening in the car or while doing other things on the computer? Not so much.

Good beat. Wow, was not expecting the tuba..? Singer reminds me of a mix between Bradley (Sublime) and Shaggy. The song is definitely keeping my interest. Chorus is foot-tapping. Oooo a drum break. Far to short! I just realized he's... jamaica-rapping...
Theeeere's a better drum break. And i actually think the classic-rock-guitar-solo feels misplaced. Pretty sweet song. I can see myself putting this on a random mix cd for myself or someone else. Very cool. Kind of gives me the vibe of that song from Save The Last Dance.... Murder She Wrote? Shut up, it's a good song.
