Sunny Delights

The sun came out this morning, which must mean that summer is on the way.

Or something.

Anyway, even if the above statement is complete bollocks (and it is), here are some songs we’ve been listening to that make it feel a little bit truer nonetheless.

Natty - Cold Town
This acoustic guitar-flecked reggaepop number sounds a bit like Remi Nicole but with far less awkward social commentary. Despite this, the track reeks of factor 40 and is bound to go down well on those days when our nearest star shows its hot yellow face.
Sunshine rating: FOUR SUNS (OUT OF FIVE).

Santogold - LES Artistes (XXXchange remix)
The Spankrock man’s reswizzle of Santogold’s Yeah Yeah Yeahs-tinged ditty injects things with a distinct MIA flavour, upping the temperature by 400 degrees and bringing to mind lazy days spent guzzling warm beer and cold burgers at hazy patio parties.
Sunshine rating: THREE SUNS.

Heads We Dance - Love In The Digital Age
This summer fruit-flavoured banger, brought to us by new Leeds band Heads We Dance, marries classic eighties vocals to a brilliantly sunkissed electro backing that sounds like spending an afternoon dancing to Daft Punk’s ‘Homework’. On a beach.
Sunshine rating: FIVE SUNS.

Winner: Heads We Dance.

Hurrah!
