      7 Songs That Scream Summer

      (Newser) - Salon’s critics pick the songs that sizzle in summer 2008—from Estelle and Kanye West's sartorial lust to Tilly and the Wall's bubble gum New Wave: Estelle with Kanye West, “American Boy”: Elegant English beats blend with in-your-face American lyrics.

Ida Corr, “Let Me Think About It”: Sexy beats that have kept us dancing (and Corr in the Top 10) for 40 weeks. More »

      Beck's a Bit Gloomy in New CD

      Sia's Real Problems Pleases
