A great pick: Guardian's songs of May

FKA Twigs

Guardian's picks for songs of the month of May is AWE-SOME!!! Made with the summer in mind there's: FKA Twigs power-ballad 'Cellophane' about fame obsession; Carly Rae Jepsen's dancey number 'Julien'; Dorian Electra's 'Flamboyant' - imagine Elton John and Freddie Mercury's imaginary son going "all the way"; Bruce Springsteen's 'Hello Sunshine' - made for driving through endless fields on a sunny day (although it's pretty sad); Erin Durant's 'Highway Blue' is probably the most "ordinary" among the 10 - a folk love ballad; Hot Chip's 'Hungry Child' is a good song but the video is just THE GREATEST; listening to Sunn O))) is an experience and the same applies to their new song 'Troubled Air'; Paula Temple's 'Raging Earth' is haunting, and powerful, and political (which is exactly the point, right?). Rico Nasty's 'Sell Out' and Stormy's 'Vossi Bop' stand out the least in this bunch.
