15 Songs You Need To Add To Your Summer Playlist Right Now

Alyssa Owings

In This Article:

I think it's safe to say that in the summer, there is just a certain type of music that becomes prevalent in all of our playlists. You want something that you can bop to at the beach, in the car (hopefully on the way to the beach, let's be honest), or at that family cookout you're bound to be dragged to whether you like it or not. Maybe you'll get lucky and they'll put you on DJ post.

Just in case, I've done some research into some sick songs that are floating around out there right now. I've found all kinds of songs from many different genres, because hey, we're not all interested in the same thing. One thing I have tried to do though, is find music that the average Joe might not necessarily be familiar with.

We all have our own taste in music, and while I think a lot of us enjoy what's popular and what plays on the radio, sometimes it can be fun to step outside of that comfort zone and check out something knew. This is how I've managed to find most of my favorite songs; venturing into my music-unknown.

Keep reading for an awesome list of songs that will impress your friends and your beautiful brain (trust me, you'll love these tunes).

1. Bloom by Trove Sivan

Let us not forget to talk about how incredible this music video is. I mean, wow.

2. Better not by Louis The Child ft. Wafia

One of the best electronic beats I've heard in a while.

3. Cigarette by RAYE, Mabel, Stefflon Don

WHAT A BOP.

4. Familiar by Liam Payne & J Balvin

Liam is really stepping up his game. This is one of my favorite songs right now, 100%.

5. Dura by Daddy Yankee

I've always loved Daddy Yankee.

6. Beachin' by Jake Owen

7. Banjo by Rascal Flatts

I just saw them in concert. What a good time.

8. Summer Nights by Rascal Flatts

I couldn't not include this.

9. Summer Bummer by Lana Del Ray

10. Tip Toe by Jason Derulo ft. French Montana

11. Got It Bad by LEISURE

If you haven't heard of LEISURE yet, it's time that you do.

12. Motion by Emotional Oranges

13. Ball For Me by Post Malone ft Nicki Minaj

Can we just talk about how much everyone is loving Post Malone right now? What an icon. Love you, Posty.

14. ILYSB by LANY

15. In My Head by Shawn Mendez

The entirety of this album is phenomenal

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

240980

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.
