The NewCanaanite.com Summer Internship Program is sponsored by Baskin-Robbins, Connecticut Sandwich Co., Joe’s Pizza and Mackenzie’s.

On a humid afternoon this week, NewCanaanite.com took a walk downtown to get an idea of what songs people are listening to this summer. Here’s what a few of them had to say:

Here are the top picks that these three girls came up with while relaxing on the patio outside of Starbucks:

  • Habits(Stay High) – Tove Lo
  • Sunshine – Matisyahu
  • Fancy – Iggy Azalea

“I like Sunshine because it makes me happy and it’s easy to dance to in the car,” Calli Wadsworth said.
