What's a summer without a good soundtrack? Step up your playlist this July with these nine songs you didn't know you needed in your life.

1. "Dirty Taurus" by Charlie Heat & Ant Beale

With a catchy beat and fire lyrics, you can bump to Dirty Taurus is a must have for all beach trips this summer.

2. "Bad Blood" by NAO

NAO has a voice unlike anyone else I've ever heard before. Mix that with the sexy beat and you have the perfect song for night driving at 2 am.

3. "Freaky Love" by Captain Kidd

Captain Kidd is a band local to Ohio and their indie-pop sound is one that's so easy to dance to, it should be on all of your party playlists.

4. "Victoria's Veil" by Cashmere Cat

Cashmere Cat has a DJ sound so unique he worked with Kanye West on his album "The Life of Pablo." All of the songs on his newest album are great but "Victoria's Veil" has such an eclectic summer vibe it's impossible not to love.

5. "Don't Wanna Fall in Love" by KYLE

Kyle recently blew up with his single "iSpy" but he's been making hits for a couple of years now. "Don't Wanna Fall in Love" samples the original song by Jane Child with some flare from some synth it makes an old classic even better.

6. "Heebiejeebies" by Aminé ft. Kehlani

Aminé is most known for his song "Caroline" but he mellows out with this song featuring Kehlani. I don't know why but this song makes me feel so amazing so it's a must listen for all.

7. "Rage" by Vic Mensa

This song is very unlike Vic Mensa's usual woke rap, but it's slow enough to be played at a bonfire once most everyone else has left.

8. "Revenge" by Xxxtentacion

A little bit darker in the mood, this song by Xxxtentacion is also outside of his usual sound. It's too hard to explain so just give it a listen.

9. "When I Get Home" by Post Animal

Post Animal takes you back to the 1970s with this trippy and light-hearted song. The vocals are mellow and the vibes are good with this hit.
