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.
