Summer is just around the corner, and nothing completes a summer vibe more than upbeat songs coming out of your speaker. Here are some fantastic summery tracks to listen to on your next beach day.

Waves by Miguel (Tame Impala Remix): This might be the most stereotypical summer track that not many people have heard. With pop-style production that could be reminiscent of an EDM track, and lyrics like “gonna ride that wave”, Waves is the perfect song to play at the beach.

Lost by Frank Ocean: This is one of Frank Ocean’s most popular songs and the track that got me into his music. The production contains a flute sound that is repeated throughout the song, giving it a catchy feel. The lyrics depict travels and getting “Lost in the heat of it all”.

Snow (Hey Oh) by Red Hot Chili Peppers: Unlike the title suggests, this track is a mid-tempo-paced anthem is perfect for summer. This is an alternative rock song with vocals that sound almost reggae-influenced. The chanty but laid-back chorus is the perfect vibe for just laying back and enjoying the sun. 

Up Up & Away by Kid Cudi: This is an incredibly well-produced track about getting above all the things that drag you down. The indie pop production creates incredibly catchy and unique song that is great for karaoke.

Good Days by SZA: Despite the lyrics having a pessimistic view on nostalgia, the plucky guitar makes this track irresistible to listen to. This song makes you wanna feel like “Good days in my mind (always in my mind)”. 

I hope you enjoy these new additions to the soundtrack of your summer.
