With so much music out there, it can be overwhelming to find new tunes. A good musical algorithm takes time, energy, and thoughtful curation. Luckily for you, one of our authors has created a sampler of new-ish songs that will give you some new artists and songs to dive into this summer.
The playlist has a nice variety of selects from big names like Beyonce and Sabrina Carpenter, as well as artists you’ve never heard of (Geoffroy and AYYBO). There is a nod to pop music, to TikTok songs (Royel Otis), and to sub-genres in the independent spaces (Washed Out and Chromeo). It has down tempo funk, house, and progressive R&B. There are Cranberries covers and original songs from Mama Cass and The Jacksons to boot!
Let this playlist serve a time capsule for this moment in time in music.
