Soundtracks of summertime always remind me of vacations, family reunions, day parties, and amazing experiences with family and friends. Every summer, we vibe to the infectious music of the moment, and we hear classics that remind us of years past. This month, we share our midsummer jam, Sunglasses & Sangrias.
“Sitting with your friends as y’all reminisce, about the days growing up and the first person you kissed… and as I think back makes me wonder how the smell from a grill could spark up nostalgia”
– DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince “Summertime”
The Sunglasses & Sangrias mix spotlights 100 songs, mixing R&B and hip-hop with a touch of jazz and a pop sprinkle on top. It’s perfect to vibe out whether you’re on vacation, relaxing with friends, or even at work when you want to getaway. The playlist includes new music from some of our favorite artists like The Carters (Beyoncé & Jay-Z), Janelle Monae, Drake, H.E.R., Toni Braxton, Teyana Taylor, and more.
You will delight in summer classics like Ghost Town DJ’s “My Boo” and the Isley Bros. “Summer Breeze” and be intrigued by young artists like Ella Mai, Jorja Smith, Khalid, and Taylor Bennett. When the sangria kicks in, you will feel a little Latin flair from Cardi B, Jennifer Lopez, and Camila Cabello and revel in songs like Drakes “In My Feelings” or Big Freedia’s “Play” when you’re ready to turn up.
