"I have been listening to Camera Obscura and their album is really happy, summery and poppy. I'm also waiting for Phoenix. Their new album is coming out. Their single 'Girlfriend' is a fantastic song. I'm listening to Bat for Lashes, the singer is half Pakistani and has a unique sound and also this band called The National. The single I'm listening to by The National is 'Green Gloves'."

Camera Obscura's 'Park and Ride' is a must download and so is 'Girlfriend'.

Bat For Lashes aka Natasha Khan has been a cult favourite after the success of her albums Fur & Gold and Two Suns, while The National is an Indie rock band influenced by Bruce Springsteen.

"I usually listen to Bob Sinclar on my way to the beach. And then there are times when I'm listening to Jason Mraz, but it's mostly its Bob Sinclar tracks. I really like the track 'Love Is Gone' and 'World Hold On' is pretty good as well. But 'Love Is Gone' is a great song. Surprisingly, there have been times when I've listened to Junoon on my way to the beach. If we're jamming at the beach, we end up playing old Vital Signs tracks like 'Nazar' or 'Tum Mil Gaye'."

 

 

Bob Sinclar's 'World Hold On' was an incredibly massive hit while 'Love Is Gone' is by far one of the most catchiest songs Sinclar has produced so far. Jason Mraz's current hit number 'I'm Yours' is continuously played on the radio.

"I listen to John Mayer's 'No Such Time' when I go to the beach."

John Mayer has been making headlines for a while due to his relationship with Friends star Jennifer Aniston. He is best known for the tunes 'Your Body is a Wonderland' and 'Why Georgia'.

Amanat Ali

"I listen to a lot of Sonu Nigam songs when I'm at the beach."

Sonu Nigam is one of the most prolific Indian playback singers, with hits like 'Kal Ho Na Ho'. 'Sun Zara' and 'Mere Haath Main' among a huge list of others. Nigam has a huge fan following in Pakistan and performed live at the LSAs held in Dubai. The singer recently won yet another award for Best Playback Singer for 'Lamhon Ke Daman Main' a track he sang for the award winning Hrithik Roshan- Aishwarya Rai Bachchan starrer, Jodhaa Akbar.

"When I'm going to the beach I like to listen to Amy Winehouse's 'Mercy'. It's a fun song, though I'm not really a hip-hop fan to begin with. I like alternate music like Bjork and Lamb. Hip hop is not for me so don't mistake me here!"

Amy Winehouse is known for her electric mixes, hardcore lyrics and jazz soul. Bjork is known as Iceland's most famous musical export. Lamb are a duo who make electronic music come to life with their groovy beats.
