humility gorillas featuring George
Benson this chilled out two and arrived
just in time for summer beach hands a
mid-tempo track with synth pop
undertones humility was one of our first
glimpses of gorillas new album the now
now which Damon Albarn has said is very
[Music]
the video features 2d rollerskating in
and around the palm trees and hippie
culture of Venice Beach while Jack Black
rips on a guitar which couldn’t be a
better visual for how the dog days of
summer should ideally be spent just
hanging around and letting your troubles
drift away
[Music]
number nine no tears left to cry Ariana
Grande
Ariana has been poised to land a song of
the summer for a few years now and this
rousing dance number might just be the
closest she’s come penned by pop music
mastermind Max Martin no tears left to
cry showcases Ariana’s powerhouse vocals
while providing a positive refrain to
especially after the bombing outside of
Grande’s Manchester concert last summer
this lead single from sweetener signals
the light she’s found after overcoming
all that darkness which is the spirit we
should all take with us as we head into
the new season umber eight born to be
yours
kygo and imagine dragons when it comes
to summer playlists no combo is a better
match than the slick electro production
of Norwegian hit maker Kai go and the
leading with a laid-back acoustic sound
born to be yours
swiftly builds up to an electrifying
hook that wouldn’t be out of place at
the songs tropical house style drop
arrives out of nowhere just like a
refreshing summer rainstorm this kygo
and imagine dragons collab blends the
sounds of two pops biggest musical acts
right now so expect to hear a lot more
of this as the season unfolds number
seven
bubbling anderson pack when you’re
fine-tuning your summer bod you need a
banger and with bubbling anderson pack
delivers just that here’s a drum heavy
song to play it full volume whether
you’re at the gym or on your way to a
party featuring near-flawless bars from
pack and a red-hot rap beat on the
surface it’s a triumphant song about
celebrating success which could reflect
Anderson’s recent rise to be topmost
but if you look deeper you’ll see that
bubblin is also about society’s
insatiable lust for money and how people
will never have enough of it
number six chun-li Nicki Minaj you
definitely don’t want to mess with Nicki
when she channel’s chun-li the vengeful
martial artist from the classic video
game series Street Fighter bitch ain’t
coming up the bitch while um coming up
the core will be drenched propelled by a
slapping hip-hop beat chun-li turns the
rap game into a fight to the death which
is why this hard-hitting track may just
have the strength to come out on top as
2018 summer anthem while Nicki has been
a reigning queen of summer radio in the
past it’s typically been for lighter
more bubblegum material just King Kong
yes the King Kong vistas king kong
district king kong yet this abrasive and
fiery battle song is just the shot of
adrenaline our summer soundtracks need
number 5 psycho post Malone featuring ty
dolla sign post has been having an
incredible year he has more than one
song that could be a contender for track
of the summer but we’ve got to go with
the one that simultaneously toned down
and turned of psycho is classic post
Malone both rejoicing in and exposing
so goddamn call
with constant references to jewelry a
desert set video that may be a homage to
fallout posts favorite video game and a
verse from the go-to guest feature ty
dolla sign hit it be psycho not to
foresee this relaxed rap track becoming
a summer radio mainstage number for
God’s plan Drake ok we know this track
debuted in January so how could it be in
the running for song of the summer the
answer is even though it arrived a few
months ago this relentless ly feel-good
Drake is notorious for dropping tracks
in the winter that thaw comes summertime
the song is just too much of an
infectious ear word and when you combine
that with a ready-made viral video a
string of other hit singles and a
forthcoming album Drake may be the one
to beat this summer number three one
kiss
Calvin Harris and dual eepa what’s the
recipe for ensuring a spot on the charts
all summer long
take a Calvin Harris produced house beat
stir in a spirited female vocal
performance add a dash of funkin blend
it all together
[Music]
Delita and Calvin Harris have both
scored seasonal pop anthems by
themselves but together they are
unstoppable with this track that set
one’s retro and futuristic
I just wanna feel your skin online every
summer needs that mellow hit about
blossoming summer love and this one
pulses like two heartbeats in sync on a
dance floor it’s been blasting from
Radio since back in April we think it
has enough momentum to carry through to
the end number two this is America
childish gambino let’s face it the world
is in a state of disarray and sometimes
mindless pop isn’t exactly the kind of
art we want to engage with enter
childish gambino today’s preeminent
rapper with a track that toggles between
the high delight of a folk melody to
sheer trap chaos in a matter of seconds
[Music]
the song is inseparable from its now
legendary music video which used
politically charged metaphors and
shocking imagery to depict gun violence
and racism in contemporary America it
got loads of people talking and for good
reason it’s a wake-up call compared to
what typically rules the radio even as
it kills our replay button it fuels an
important conversation before we unveil
our number one pick here are some
honorable mentions
as long as I wake up
[Music]
I still see your shadows in my room
can’t take back the love that I gave you
it’s to the point why I love it I hate
number one I like it
cardi B bad bunny and J Bobby in the
spirit of last year’s Esposito remix our
number one song of the summer uses the
influence of Latin music to craft an
incontestable block for all your
sunshine basking needs X’s wind 8 1
second tint updating a sample from Pete
Rodriguez as I like it like that to give
it a salsa meets trap aesthetic I like
it serves as an ideal soundtrack for
letting loose or laying back
if 2017 was cardiguez breakout year in
2018 solidifies her as one of the
biggest artists around with a Miami shot
video bursting in color I like it is
about wearing shades but never throwing
it it’s for living in the moment and for
soaking up every last bit of the summer
while it’s here do you agree with our
picks check out these other great clips
