1) I DO NOT HOOK UP (Kelly Clarkson) - When Kelly opens up her mouth, the song can never go wrong. I Do Not Hook Up is a resounding testament to that. Reminiscent of her smashing hit Since You've Been Done, the new track is an amalgamation of big drums overload, vocal bravura and angsty declarations. The result? A pop-rock musical tour de force. The second song released from Clarkson's chart-topping album All I Ever Wanted (a saving grace from her commercially dismal My December), I Do Not Hook Up is penned by the singer who inspired girls to make out with their girlfriends, the sexual provocateur Katy Perry.
2) ROC (Beyonce) - Yes, roc without a k! But sidestepping its etymology, Roc is a laidback, smooth, easy-to-hear musical indulgence. This yet to be released ballad from the sultry diva's album I Am Sasha Fierce, the song is a homage to Beyonce's formulaic repertoire: cozy, karaoke-worthy tempo (Irreplaceable) + near-cheesy lyrics (Cater 2 U). Not that I mind, though!
3) INSOMNIA (Craig David) - Hail to Neyo and Chris Brown for making R&B dance so cool! It's latest advocate: Craig David. Back from a musical hiatus, the Brit is back to the airwaves with Insomnia from the album Greatest Hits. Upbeat, addictive, danceable and suffused with hard bassline beats, I bet you couldn't resist gyrating your moves sans singing "I never thought that I'd fall in love, love, love, love / But it grew from a simple crush, crush, crush, crush..."
