Favorite Songs Summer 2017

I feel like this summer I’ve been listening to some really great songs so I felt like sharing some of them. I think most of them you’ll know but I just wanted to show some appreciation for a select few of the great artists and songs I have been listening to.
(All songs linked below)

MØ – Final Song

The first song is a total classic summer song. A good beat, a happy vibe, memorable melody… It’s the kinda song you can listen to on car rides, at a barbeque or other get-together’s and even party’s.

CNCO- Reggeatón Lento (Bailemos)

Instead of adding “Despacito” to this list (because I think it’s too obviously a great summer classic) I wanted to highlight a different Hispanic song. I’ve been listening to “Reggeatón Lento” for months already and it still makes me want to dance, no matter where I am. A few weekends ago I was at a lake with friends and we danced to this song on the beach by the water… and that’s a feeling that returns every time I listen to this song.

Khalid – Young Dumb & Broke

Okay, this song is realllyyy great. In fact, Khalid’s whole album is. You can pick any song off his album “American Teen” for what I call the chill-vibes kind of music. I think his voice is so unique and that makes all the songs good. The bonus is most of them are very catchy.

Julia Michaels – Issues

I gotta say this one is maybe more of a guilty pleasure… but how can you not just sing along to it. “I got issues, but you got ‘em toooooo”. I seriously listen to this song at least 2x every time I hear it I’m that obsessed. Anyway I made great memories related to this song too so it’s for sure on my summer favorites.

Andy Grammar – Fresh Eyes

This is a really great song and a really great music video too. It’s positive, cute, uplifting. I guess it’s totally a feel-good song and that’s what I really like about it.

Imagine Dragons – Thunder

This song has rhythm. I love Imagine Dragons for making songs that actually pulse through your veins. I guess a song about thunder doesn't exactly mirror the perfect summer day but the energy the song radiates is great either way.

Ed Sheeran – Nancy Mulligan

It’s clear (to me at least) that Ed Sheeran’s newest album “Divide” is incredible! Like almost the best ever. And I think he deserves all the recognition and success that the album earned so far. I picked this song because I think the melody is so upbeat (and I love the Irish vibe) and I’m still not sick of it.

LOTTE – Auf beiden Beinen

I think the lyrics of this song are great. It actually makes me quite emosh because I can absolutely relate to the lyrics. I almost feel like the lyrics are the words I want to say to my parents because the reality of having really moved away from home seems more and more real to me every day. (Yea, it’s a German one)

Willy William – Ego

Okay yea this one is French and I honestly have no idea what it’s about but the beat is so good! I actually hear it in the gym sometimes but also with friends and gatherings. It just really gets people pumped and that’s what’s seriously awesome about it.

Aaand that's my short and sweet selection. Let me know what you think of my picks and what your favorite songs of the summer are.
