Playlist: August finds & faves

August 24, 2018 No Comments

Every summer – typically in August – I retreat to paradise for two-and-a-half weeks. My paradise: The beautiful island of Maui, Hawaii! (more on that coming soon!!)

Before heading to the airport, I needed to perfect my summer playlist by adding in all of the season’s hottest new releases plus some tracks I’ve been sleeping on (my apologizes to Troye Sivan’s “My My My!” – I’ve underappreciated you for far too long.) Since I’m never one to hog the tunes, I’m back with another ‘finds & faves’ playlist! These songs will get you through your end-of-season trips and summer nights at home or out in the city.

I always say that I’m into music from every genre, but this playlist really proves it. There’s country, pop, electronic and more. I just like a good song! Luckily for you, there are 40 great songs here so plug in the aux cord, hit play and enjoy.

This summer has been a prime time for music. The weather is (almost) consistently beautiful and our favourite artists are supplying their own sunshine and rainbows in the form of new music. The latest releases have been vibrant, fresh and upbeat – everything I’m looking for in songs I can jam out to and put on repeat. Also, if you’re anything like me, you’ve already gone back and fallen in love again with all the songs you were obsessed with last summer. Reminiscing about your favourite summer memories as you make new ones is truly the best!

In honour of my stateside friends having just celebrated the 4th of July, this month’s playlist goes all out with 44 songs – 2 hours and 35 minutes of pure ear magic. (No, that is totally not a fake justification for me going a little music crazy making this playlist…not at all.)

Message to Mother Nature: It’s OK, you can stop withholding the summer weather from us! She’s come out a few times, we loved her and we’re ready to embrace and love her. Not to mention that I need the weather to match my summer-ready playlist ☼

Whatever the weather where you are, this playlist is filled with upbeat songs and good vibes you can enjoy night and day. My hot tip: Listen to it the whole way through! I worked extra hard this month to make sure every song flows into the next to the point where I can’t stop listening to it myself, so hit play and enjoy the next 105 minutes.

Can we just take a minute to appreciate all of the incredible new music that came out this month? One of my favourite Canadian artists Felix Cartal dropped his new album ‘Next Season’ (more on that in our interview coming out soon!), Clean Bandit released their long-awaited single with Demi Lovato, Shawn Mendes released his near-perfect third album and that’s just scratching the surface.

Though I’ve loved the new music, I’ve also put some of my favourite bright, spring-summer tracks back into my playlists.

I finished another year of university (one more to go!), baseball season is in full swing and the nice weather is slowly arriving. It might still be spring, but I think I can shamelessly be in full summer mode! Plus, so many artists are already releasing their summer singles and I’m obsessing over every single one of them.

Read on for this month’s ‘finds & faves’ playlist and my most played tracks.
