Song of the Day


Actress and now singer extraordinaire, Leighton Meester, contributed her vocals to a track called Birthday by a Miami duo named Awesome New Republic. Leighton's vocal performance here is stronger than the one in Good Girls Go Bad. She's a very convincing "come hither", flirty singer. This song is great with or without Leighton though (the version with just Awesome New Republic is really good as well). The chorus is a joyous peak of falsetto, and the verses have driving and guttural guitar. They also mention kinetic energy which is fantastic. Lots of nasty fun! Absolutely infectious!
