Apparently this is out next month - iHeartRadio included it in a songs of summer blog post. (It also includes new On The Verge artist The Struts, which makes me wonder if this will get the same treatment.) R.City, fka Rock City, is sibling duo Theron and Timothy Thomas - they've put out 15 mixtapes and have recent cowrites for Nicki Minaj, Ciara, Fergie, Usher, Juicy J, and Becky G, among others.

I think radio has been so saturated with Maroon 5 that this will likely:
A. Absolutely kill "This Summer Is Gonna...", I mean I am waiting for the quad-digit negative bullet after programmers clean house after 4th of July weekend.
B. It WILL get played regardless because it is Adam Levine, quickly rise, then quickly fall regardless of how it sounds like.

My babies!!!!! They've really stuck it out because 10 years ago they were in a situation with Akon and their album never saw the light of day. Though they thank him for the opportunities, things got very ugly behind the scenes. They deserve it all.

I'm glad that these guys are getting another chance. Akon and Interscope didn't really push them. Their debut single ("Losing It") should have been a hit

I love this! It's soooo much better than "This Summer Is Gonna Hurt Like A MF". It has a different sound to it that makes it a bit more distinct.

It's nothing extremely memorable like "Stereo Hearts" but it's still really good. I could see this reaching top 10.

It's all about that "Would youu still loove me the saame?" hook. <3
(Although my response would certainly be "Well, that depends...WHY are you locked away? Too many unpaid parking tickets? Or running a dog-fighting ring?")

#29 on iTunes. I got a strong feeling this is going to play out exactly like "Am I Wrong".
