Song of the Summer?

The New York Times asks whether it's too soon to pick the song of the summer. It is, after all, February, and the temperature in Midtown Manhattan right now is a balmy 43 degrees. Still, the Times offers the new Sleigh Bells single "Comeback Kid" as a bona fide contender. I think it's a good tune -- a bit more melodic maybe than what we heard from Sleigh Bells their first time out -- but I'm not ready to crown it just yet. Ask me again in a few months.

Here's the video.

  1. Yes, New York Times, it is too early to deem any song the song of the summer.

    Kinda surprised at the melodic nature of theis Sleigh Bells song. I do admit, I am curious.
