Leisurely night drives and summer go together like watching holiday movie marathons in the winter, am I right? Kind of? Anyway, here are seven songs that'll definitely be making your summer night car ride playlist after checking them out!
1. "Still In Love" -- JAHKOY.
With this track's juicy synth bass and smooth vocals leaving us with a catchy melody, "Still In Love" brings an upbeat R&B tune that'll easily have you moving to the beat; especially when driving on the freeway with your windows down and the cool air rushing past your cheeks.
2. "Karma" -- ALMA.
As soon as the track begins, Alma's beautiful and husky voice quickly begins singing out every reason to leave her ex-lover through an upbeat and climatic series of piano chords, strong drum combo and a synth bass, leading us into an anxious rise, and when the beat finally drops, "I bring the karma to your game, you better run, run, run yeah, it's coming your way" powerfully comes at us. The sense of fearlessness that the strong beat and catchy lyrics in "Karma" shower on us go great with a night commute.
3. "Silhouette" -- Goldroom.
"Silhouette" brings us into a semi-trance with its spacey chords and catchy funk bass as the words "without you" float around the track. Once it all kicks in with the drums, it'll be hard to keep yourself from wanting to dance!
4. "Fool 4 You" -- Mr. Little Jeans.
"Fool 4 You" rings true to its title as its transition for the beat drop is like a sparkly and smooth melt, resembling the feeling of falling for someone. Its mesmerizing sound of synth chords, electric arpeggios and spacey strings will have you feel like you're gliding down the roads, perfect for basking in the cool night vibes.
5. "Iced Tea" -- crwn.
Along with its chill and laid-back vibe through the track's fluid hi-hats, ripples of harp strings, and other sprinkled sounds, crwn's "Iced Tea" is still able to make us bob our heads to the beat with its smooth kicks and hard bass.
6. "All Night" (feat. Knox Fortune) -- Chance The Rapper.
A bit mesmerizing, "All Night" immediately starts us off with house-like tones, hitting us with a hard kick and a deep and smooth warp bass line that continues throughout the entire song. With Chance rapping about just wanting to enjoy a night out without people taking advantage of him and Knox Fortune's voice looping "All night, I been drinking all night/I been drinking all night, I been drinking, ay ay," this track injects us with an upbeat energy while getting to our destination. How can you not be on the move when listening to this song?
7. "Unstoppable" (FKJ Remix) -- Lianne La Havas.
The FKJ Remix begins with a few chopped samples of Lianne's warm voice over a groovy set of spacey chords and strong drum kicks, then expands into a fun and lively soul, pop and R&B mix.
