While a lot of WOTE's music is fun and upbeat, every once in a while they put out a song that's a little different. When I first heard a snippet of this, I was immediately hooked in. I think it's one of my favorites of theirs.

Kris Allen won American Idol season 8, and when the show was airing I was obsessed. I haven't really paid attention to what he's been up to now, but I happened to catch that he was working on a new album and I decided to listen to this. The song is fun and the video is a little silly, and now I'm really looking forward to the full album when it comes out.

Here's one from another former Idol contestant. I was never a huge fan of David Archuleta, but I actually have been keeping up with his new music. It's been so cool to see how much he has grown as a person since he was on the show.

One of my co-workers had his last day of work yesterday, and he's now pursuing music full-time. I checked out his website, and I saw this song that he worked on with another band, and as I listened to the lyrics, I thought "I felt that".
The other day my friend asked me what I've been listening to lately. The answer to that is usually a lot of Top 40. I like pop music. I've liked pop music ever since I was in high school, when I became obsessed with American Idol. So I've always wanted to write about music that I enjoy listening to. I miss the days when people would put what they were reading/watching/listening to in their blog posts or status updates. That was just part of the blog engine. (Maybe I should make that part of my blog engine. One day)
Anyway, here are six songs that I've been enjoying lately.
