You might be new to this one, but this single of her is definitely one of the must-listen simple & smooth single.

The bomb of 2007! It wasn’t one of the biggest hit of the year, but still it stood out the most, personally. The emotions in the track was just spot on, without letting the sadness over drag the entire mood of the track. This sad romantic piece was packed with the great amount of energy, and the music arrangement is just brilliant. Kudos to Incubus!

It’s really easy to connect to her music somehow. She manages to create that magic moment that you easily fall for that. It’s great to see her grow in her music, and they keep gets better each time. This is apparently her strongest yet, and the most mind-blowing music that we can get from her. She’s definitely the must-listen girl for R&B music.

No doubt that this single is just brilliant, what’s even better the original version and the Timbaland’s remixed version just stood out without over shine each other. The huge success of the single just speaks for it, and Ryan Tedder is definitely the name to be watch out for. Lets see what’s he capable of next.

You just can’t hate this single. One of her strongest yet and in fact one of the best in 2007. Nothing much to be complaint about the whole single, well except whatever Akon contributed to it. Still it does showcase her music to the finest and without overdid it.

Her second album showed us a more mature side of her, with the toning down of being fun and playful in her music, with this being one of the great examples. It’s more settle and sensual this time around for sure, and still it’s the Natasha that impresses us with her strong pop music. Not to forget with the Adam Levine in it, they just blend perfectly.

They had a strong start with their lead single, “Makes Me Wonder”, but this single just blended in their sense of music and personality more with some mystery twist to it. The drama building-up throughout the track is just amazing. Hell yes another must-listen from them.

Do we really need the intro for this? Apparently there must be something about this that made it the biggest single in 2007, and not to forget the biggest single ever for Miss Rihanna as well. She nailed it this time around (like she never before) and yes it was a bombshell as we never expected this type of music from her. Transformed in a good way, obviously.  

It is not easy to have a more emotional piece of alternative rock music. Apparently, the rock element is toned down in this one and yes that really works as the music is more relatable and connected by the listeners, and most importantly, feeling the emotion in the track. Well done the fray.

It might be another settle one from him, but no doubt that he’s another great talent that manages to move us with his sentimental r&b music. It might not be one of the biggest single of the year, but still the simplicity and the emotions in the track are undeniable.  

We just couldn’t get enough from mr.Timberlake himself, could we? This would be he fourth consecutive single from his album that managed to show us, the pop music that he’s trying to define. He’s going far with his music; let’s just see what’s in store for us next from him.

this single projected the edgy side of the alternative rock music to the maximum, and of course without overdid it. Matthew Bellamy's vocal range just shone in this single and it blends in well with the music. Rock music would never sound so dreamy, with an edge! Something to go for if quirkiness and funkiness are what you're looking for in the music.



the reason why this single is so mind-blowning is because of its simplicity. Yes, it is simple, and that is what that makes it beautiful. It is fresh, and different from what the typical mainstream pop music will gives us. The carefree and innocent in the track is unpredictable, and just lovely. Thumbs up for Ingrid!
