Leaving college at the end of the year can be depressing, that's for sure. But when you finally get home, settle into a routine, reunite with your friends, and maybe start up your summer job, you'll be happier than ever. If you're looking for the soundtrack to your summer vibes, start with these and kick it off right.
1. "Million Bucks" - Smallpools
Smallpools is always a go-to for driving with the windows down summer music, and this song is no exception.
2. "Why Even Try - feat. Sarah Quin [RAC Remix]" - Theophilus London
You can pretty much always trust a RAC remix to get you hyped up and in a dancing mood.
3. " Let Go" - RAC, Kele, MNDR
That being said, just trust RAC on everything.
4. "Day 1" - HONNE
If you share this song with your best friend, it is guaranteed to make them smile and put them in a good mood.
5. "All My Friends" - The Summer Set
Just because this long-lived mid-2000s band isn't together anymore doesn't mean that their songs aren't still absolute bangers.
6. "waves - Tame Impala Remix" - Miguel
This song leans a little more towards the electronic chill genre, but it's perfect summer driving music.
7. "Jade" - Magic Giant
I've written lots about Magic Giant lately. Their fun folk-pop style can brighten anyone's summer day!
8. "Celeste" - Ezra Vine
That folk sound continues in Ezra Vine's perfect road trip anthem. It may not be the newest release, but it certainly never gets old.
9. "Last Forever" - Fenech-Soler
This song was released in 2014, but every summer since then it has never failed to put me (and everyone around me) in the happiest mood.
