To complement my previous post, “Music to Start the Summer”, listed below are several of the songs that I’ve come across and liked. Well, the primary criteria for a song to be included is that I should really like it enough right now that I just might request it on the radio. And the secondary criteria is that I should’ve come across the music within the past several months.

Pop / Rock / Hip-Hop / R&B

• Collapsis - “Wonderland”

• Hinder - “Lips of an Angel”

• Matt Wertz - “Everything’s Right”

I first heard most of these songs through the radio. Despite how some people, especially in the US, deride the radio in favor of their precious MP3 players (thus saying that there’s no need for an FM receiver on the iPod), I personally come across a lot of great music through the airwaves.

The rest of the songs I heard through clubs, music store browsing, and other means. *wink wink*

So what are some of the recent songs you’ve liked?
