Throughout my endless commutes to the office, trips down the shore, and road trips this summer, I relied solely on Spotify to brighten my mood and make time in the car fly by. Though work mostly was uneventful, I discovered tons of great music on my way there that are must-haves for a great pop summer playlist. Here are a few of my finds:
“Jackie Chan” – Tiesto, Dzeko, Preme, Post Malone
This song put me in a good mood every time I listened to it. It’s bright, dance-y, and easy to catch on to. Plus, who isn’t a sucker for a Post Malone feature at this point?
“I Wanna Know” – NOTD feat. Bea Miller
On this track, Bea shares her thoughts on a topic we all know something about: the new girl in your ex’s life. This song is belty and passionate with great EDM moments.
“SoulMate” – Justin Timberlake
Justin Timberlake is still cool. No one argue with me. This song is sexy, catchy, and a sure summer anthem.
“Dance to This” – Troye Sivan feat. Ariana Grande
This was by far my favorite collaboration of the summer. These pop queens singing about the beauty of a romantic night in, away from the crowds, is mesmerizing.
“Body” – Loud Luxury feat. Brando
EDM duo Loud Luxury created a super-catchy, oh-so-summery bop with “Body,” making you think of that someone you want to be dancing under the summer stars with.
“Finest Hour” – Cash Cash feat. Abir
With great lyrics and a great dance break, this song by Cash Cash and Moroccan-born Abir is destined to be overplayed by the radio starting September.
“God is a woman“ – Ariana Grande
One of Ari’s greatest hits, in my opinion, “God is a woman” is completely empowering, inspiring, and a must-listen.
