This summer has been far from normal, but the one thing that I find is getting me through all of the ups and downs is music. The past few months have been full of amazing new music releases. Along with that, I have found myself shuffling back through some old playlists during all of my freetime. Here are ten of my go to songs, soundtracks, and artists this summer!

1. Summer Feelings by Lennon Stella featuring Charlie Puth
2. Blue Collar Boys by Luke Combs
3. Cigarettes on Patios by Baby Jake
4. Sour Patch Kids by Bryce Vine
5. Love Me Now by John Legend, and All Day Long by Chance the Rapper featuring John Legend
6. Juice Wrld Legends Never Die Album
7. Harry Styles Fine Line Album
8. Pop Smoke
9. Lil Uzi Eternal Atake Album
10. Khalid

Each of these songs, albums and artists are definitely worth adding to your playlists this summer for the best vibes no matter what you are doing. I find that music has the ability to calm me down and brighten my day despite the stress or uncertainty surrounding me. Some honorable mentions I want to mention outside of this list are Tongue Tied by Grouplove, a song I forgot about but that never gets old. Another must listen, for history or broadway nerds like myself, is the Hamilton album. This album has been so fun to get back into with the movie coming out on Disney Plus. One more honorable mention is the artist Meg the Stallion. My girlfriends and I have been blasting her music in the car every chance we get, without fail we always get out of the car in a better mood than we all got in.

I hope you listen to some of these songs and add them to your queue! Step out of your comfort zone with your music and listen to some new or maybe old songs, it is a fun way to express yourself and find some light during these times! Happy listening!
