You can’t have #SummerOfBrittny without a killer playlist to be the soundtrack of your life. Here are some tracks I had on heavy rotation during the summer.
Boys | Charli XCX
I was busy dreaming about boys
Unforgettable | French Montana feat. Swae Lee
French Montana recruits Rae Sremmurd’s Swea Lee for his biggest single that definitely gives you the island feel.
Wild Thoughts | DJ Khaled feat. Rihanna and Bryson Tiller
There’s no need for a description, just watch Rihanna do her thing in the music video.
Slide | Calvin Harris
Calvin Harris finally proves to listeners he’s more than a recycled formula EDM DJ to a producer who can create a hit in any genre.
Young, Dumb & Broke REMIX | Khalid feat. Rae Sremmurd and Lil Yachty
Yeah, we’re just young, dumb and broke, but we still got love to give
2 Good 2 Be True | Nite Jewel
Nite Jewel’s “2 Good 2 Be True” is an ultra laid back, synth-heavy that mixes R&B and indie dance.
DNA. | Kendrick Lamar
I got, I got, I got, I got loyalty, got royalty inside my DNA.
Drew Barrymore | SZA
Do you really wanna love me down like you say you do?
Neon Lights | Taylor Bennett
Chance the Rapper’s little brother steps out of his shadow to give you a fun catchy bop that very reminiscing of Chance’s earlier work Acid Rap.
Summer Bummer | Lana Del Rey feat. A$AP Rocky
Don’t be a bummer, babe.
Chanel | Frank Ocean
2016 burnt some discs, 2017 ideas playing off a Walkman
GOLD | BROCKHAMPTON
If you haven’t listened to Brockhampton, do it now!
Good Drank | 2 Chainz feat Gucci Mane
The only guy who has never disappointed me is 2 Chainz.
New Rules | Dua Lipa
Rules to live by: One, don’t pick up the phone, you know he’s only calling ‘cause he’s drunk and alone. Two, don’t let him in, you have to kick him to again. Three, don’t be his friend, you know you’re gonna wake up in his bed in the morning. And ain't getting over him.
Crew REMIX | GoldLink
DMV's GoldLink creates the quintessential chill out summer vibe track with "Crew".
SHC | Foster the People
Foster the People returns to their fun rock/pop sound with haunting lyrics that makes you feel weird dancing along to. But that’s the fun part of listening to Foster the People.
Naughty Ride | WizKid
WizKid’s “Naughty Ride” is a seductive island track with hypnotic clapping precussions that will encourage you to find the nearest hottie to dance on.
Where This Flower Blooms | Tyler, the Creator feat. Frank Ocean
I rock, I roll, I bloom, I glow.
Swish Swish | Katy Perry feat. Nick Minaj
I love a good pop diva feud. Katy Perry didn’t hold back with her revenge track against Taylor Swift. Katy called T.Swift calculated (eek) and an old coupon expired (whatever that means.). Plus the lyric video has meme queen Gretchen.
You can listen to the entire playlist on Spotify.
From Cardi B to Taylor Swift, the songs that help cement that summer in quarantine wasn’t too awful.
