August Playlist: Songs of Summer 2019

I could go on and on about the power of music, but I’m always amazed how certain songs bring us back to different memories, times and places. I can re-listen to songs from my childhood and be instantly reminded of old friends, family trips and various celebrations.

This long weekend, as another wild summer comes to an end, I’ve been riding the wave of nostalgia with all my fave songs of the summer on repeat. Keep scrolling to check out my final ode to Summer 2k19 and some of the new memories tied to the tracks from this month’s playlist!

“Only Human” – Jonas Brothers

Happiness this summer truly began August 23, when the Jonas Brothers blessed Toronto with their long-awaited Happiness Begins Tour (my first of five shows that I’m currently set to see on this tour – don’t judge!). If I’m being real, the JoBros are one of my OG favourite music acts, along with Hilary Duff and Taylor Swift, so this comeback was truly a BIG deal!

This groovy, ’80s-inspired tune is one of my favourite songs from the new album and it’s even better live. In terms of the big picture, “Only Human” is one of my top picks for official song of the summer, tied with “Old Town Road,” “Señorita” and “bad guy” (mentioned below). Let me know in the comments below what you would pick as your song of the summer!

July Playlist: Summer Fling

Summer is always a hot season for love. There’s simply no denying that summer romances just hit different and inspire endless possibilities for incredible memories. From sunsets to patio nights and drive-in dates, there’s so much to see and do with your boo (or your BFFs, because you are just as amazing on your own!).

Of course, you need a bangin’ soundtrack to fill the air during your summer road trips (with the windows down, of course), pool parties and chill days in. Luckily, fun and flirty love songs are a summer staple. Check out 60 of them — plus a breakup banger or two for those lost loves — below on this month’s playlist.
