11 Songs That Will Heat Up Your Summer Playlist

astheworldspins.com

Looking to add some awesome music to your summer playlist? Here are 11 songs that will spice up, cool off, turn up, and take your best season ever playlist to the next level!

1. "G Train" by Thirdstory

Off the recently released EP "Searching," "G Train" is a mix of sexy vocals, a pulsing and driving beat and will make an excellent addition to any playlist. If you haven't heard these guys before, check out some of their other YouTube videos. They are remarkable, and just finished touring as Tori Kelly's opening act.

2. "Come Down" by Anderson Paak

As if a killing bass line isn't enough, this song grooves hard! Paak mixes eclectic style, heavy grooves and sick lyrics into one. Anderson Paak is out on tour this summer so definitely check him out in a city near you.

3. "Don't Let Me Down" by The Chainsmokers feat. Daya

This is nothing like the Chainsmokers we heard when "First Let Me Take a Selfie" came out. With a new sound and a great feature from Daya, this song makes you want to dance under the stars and enjoy every second of freedom on a night off.

4. "Juke Jam" by Chance the Rapper

Having some summer lovin'? Add this to the playlist. Nothing else needs to be said.

Check out the entire Coloring Book Album. It is beyond great.

5. "Into You" by Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande is grown... and she is proving it with her latest album. "Into You" is off of her latest project! It's not just summer that's heating up, plus this is a good one for the summer love too!

6. "Can't Stop the Feeling" by Justin Timberlake

One simply cannot have a summer playlist without some Justin Timberlake. His latest single from the new Dreamworks Animation's Trolls. Warning: this song will make you move, so, stop the car, get out and dance!

7. "Toothbrush" by DNCE

The Jonas Brothers may be broken up, but they are coming back with some force. Joe Jonas, now a part of DNCE, gets his grown and sexy on. HELLO ASHLEY GRAHAM, bring on the curves!

8. "Cake By the Ocean" by DNCE

You like cake (yes, any kind), like the ocean? Why not put them together? Sounds like the perfect combo.

9. "U Don't Have to Call" by Erykah Badu

Kick back and enjoy a true queen.

10. "Beat of My Drum" by POWERS

This song just feels like summer, from start to finish. It will make you dance too much, drive too fast and sing too loud; enjoy!

11. "She's a Bad Mama Jama" by Carl Carlton

To all the ladies out there, make this your anthem! Throwback everyday, this song came out in 1981 but will make summer of 2016 hit harder than any song today!

Enjoy your summer and turn it up!

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
