A blazing sun shining down, popsicles melting and dripping from heat, salty waters, and scorching sand as you place your feet in deep. Summer has arrived. With the season here, many of us have made plans, whether it’s lounging around the house with a glass of wine or on a fun trip with friends exploring city sites. Allow me to contribute in a small piece of your joy, with a playlist of songs perfect for summer—based on my personal taste, of course.
👙Bad~Wave to Earth (Listening to this song I picture a couple sitting on a beach soaking in the summer breeze and each other’s warm company. On top of that, if you haven’t already heard of Wave to Earth you are missing out! Their songs are so incredibly comforting and all around delightful!)
👙Us against the world~Jungle (This song is such a vibe! It’s fun, great for dancing, and perfect for a trip with friends. Plus, it’s Jungle; need I say more?)
👙What I need~Hayley Kiyoko, Kehlani (I really love this song; I probably listen to it way too many times. Also, I love Hayley Kiyoko.)
👙Résumé~Jenevieve (Can’t you imagine yourself resting on the beach as this song plays, with Jenevieve‘s sweet vocals and the soft yet bouncy rhythm of the song?)
👙Feeling Lucky~BIBI, Jackson Wang (I enjoy the sound of this song a lot. The vocals of both BIBI and Jackson Wang sound really nice paired together.)
👙Slow Dancing~V (A soothing, relaxing melody with the sound of flutes and V’s deep yet gentle voice. If summer had a sound, I believe this would be it.)
👙For Lovers who hesitate~ JANNABI (This song would definitely be the type to play in a movie where the main character is walking on a pier by the seashore and doing some kind of reflecting. Not too far away, there’s an amusement park where children are holding balloons, families are laughing, and couples are riding the ferries wheel.)
👙Saudade Vem Correndo~Stan Getz (What is summer without a bit of jazz? Does your vacation involve staying in, nibbling on cheese and crackers, having a bit of wine, and flipping through the newest vogue issue? I’m sure this song will add a nice touch to the ambience.)
👙Tere Pyaar Mein~Pritam (Beautiful vocals and the feeling of immense joy are what this song will bring to you upon listening.)
👙Hoity Toity (feat.Melo-X)~Alex Mali (A fun summer hangout with your best friends—that’s the way I would describe this song. This song was one of my most played songs on Spotify. It’s true.)
While I don’t have a ton of knowledge about music, I hope I was able to describe these recommendations well. These songs are directly from my playlist, and I genuinely do find pleasure in each suggestion given. I hope you find these songs worth listening to and becoming a part of your playlist as well!
There will be more song suggestions to come in the future; stay tuned! And as always, thank you so much for reading!
