"Honestly" Hot Chelle Rae

Nasvhille rockers Hot Chelle Rae broke out big last summer with "Tonight, Tonight," a dated, juvenile, obnoxiously perky party anthem that became one of the year's sleeper hits. (Kids these days...) Now the band is back with "Honestly," the third single from its album, Whatever, and it's attempting to take over the airwaves once again. The song certainly has all the ingredients of a summer smash: a laid-back, beach-ready vibe; lyrics that sound like they were written by the high schoolers that will be jamming to it at their graduation parties; and, most importantly, a sunny, feel-good hook ripe with singalong potential. In fact, the chorus provides enough cheesy fun that—to quote its refrain—I honestly just don't care if it sounds like an All-American Rejects B-side from 2005. B
