"Daze of Summer" is a song by Canadian R&B singer Jackson Bradshaw. The song was released as Bradshaw's debut single in August 2010 and was intended as the lead single from Bradshaw's debut album which was then under the working title of Come Closer; Bradshaw has since confirmed that the song will not be featured on any album of his. "Daze of Summer" was commercially successfully where it debuted at #8 on the UK Singles Chart and ascended and peaked at #6 the following week. The single was certified Silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). The single also reached #8 in Ireland, #9 in Canada, #49 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, and also #15 on the US Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

Music video[edit | edit source]

A music video was shot in the summer of 2010. According to sources, and later Bradshaw himself, the video was shot on a nude beach in Canada. Bradshaw would later confirm that there would be no nudity or "even hints of it" in the film, though Bradshaw would appear shirtless in the video. A series of problems during the production of the video, delayed it from going into post-production and later its premiere.

The video's plot is simplistic. Throughout its duration, Bradshaw is seen with a female companion, who is his lover, and they frolic and have romantic moments on the beach. These scenes are intercut with Bradshaw singing the song.

The video received positive reviews from critics and fans alike. It has garnered over 34 million views on YouTube and VEVO.
