EW picks the Spring’s next big singles! But in my eyes, this list is crap, none of these will be “big”… because, well, Rihanna nor Chris Brown are on it.. also HOW can these be hits without Timbaland or T-Pain being involved? This is a little too confusing.
1. TEYANA TAYLOR – Google Me: Download | Link 2
Alright… maybe this song will make it.
2. SHE & HIM – Why Do You Let Me Stay Here
Indie crooner M. Ward + actress/singer/pixie Zooey Deschanel = one delightful country-pop ditty.

Gorgeous piano stunner from the gifted Canadian folkie.
4. SANTOGOLD – L.E.S. Artistes: Download | XXXChange RMX
Downtown cool filtered through spare, ragga-inspired backbeats.
5. HERCULES AND LOVE AFFAIR – Blind: Download
Indelible, horn-addled electro for the masses.
6. IDLE WARSHIP – Industry Diary
Rapper Talib Kweli and songstress Res take down the music biz, create superhot cut.
7. APES & ANDROIDS – Riverside: Download
Ambitious psych epic rife with squiggles and tambourines.
8. RAFTER – Love Time Now Please
Floaty, horn-filled kook-rock pastiche from the San Diego-based Friend of Sufjan.

Longtime Athens, Ga., collective produce pretty piece of jangle-pop fuzz.
