With new music releases moving from Mondays to Fridays, it’s about time my monthly playlists move to Fridays as well. Plus, is there really any better way to kick off the weekend?
This Monday, June 20, is the first day of summer, which means it’s officially time to stock up on summer music. Luckily, the past few weeks have been filled with tons of new releases from all our favourite artists like Shawn Mendes, Ariana Grande and Nick Jonas.
For this beautiful month of June, I have pulled together 13 of my new favourite songs into one handy about-to-be-on-repeat playlist. Before you listen to it in full, preview five tunes that I guarantee will be stuck in your head after just one listen.
“Treat You Better” by Shawn Mendes
For music lovers like me here in Toronto, the iHeartRadio MMVAs serve as the official kickoff to summer party. Our favourite Toronto-area singer Shawn Mendes knows that, and released this awesome track just in time to perform it for the first time on live television at the MMVAs this Sunday, June 19. Excited is an understatement.
“All In My Head (Flex)” by Fifth Harmony featuring Fetty Wap
Everything about Fifth Harmony’s new single screams SUMMER! It’s light and upbeat, fun and flirty and an all-around bop. The follow-up to their smash “Work from Home,” this track will be all that’s in your head this summer.
“Ear Candy” by MissDefiant
If you’re looking for a song to blast while you party the night away with your girls, UK pop duo MissDefiant’s new single “Ear Candy” is exactly what you’re looking for. It’s almost impossible to not want to sing and dance along to the song’s infectious lyrics and electro beat.
“Bacon” by Nick Jonas featuring Ty Dolla $ign
You already know your summer is going to be great, so why not throw some bacon on it and make it even better? That is essentially the message Nick Jonas is sending through this super cute and catchy song that is featured on his new album, ‘Last Year Was Complicated.’ Maybe Nick will be enjoying some bacon of his own as he celebrates the album’s #2 debut on the Billboard 200.
“Moog For Love” by Disclosure featuring Eats Everything
Just in time for the summer, Disclosure dropped a new three-track EP that is reminiscent of their classic revolutionary sound. The EP’s title track, “Moog For Love,” is a definite standout and can easily be replayed for hours on end with no shame.
