Students are settling down into their school routines and when they are not struggling to balance all of their responsibilities, they are trying to enjoy their free time. Barbecues, outdoor games, sporting events, and more are scattered throughout the weekly agenda. If you are looking for music for your next daytime activity, look no further! These new releases will keep the energy flowing (and maybe even make you want to dance).
Waste A Moment – Kings of Leon
Kings of Leon’s latest single is a teaser at their album “WALLS” is dropping in October. Their mainstream-friendly alternative rock is perfect for when you want to soak up some rays or feel the wind in your hair.
Summer Dreams – Michael Brun, Marcio Lama
Summer Dreams is the perfect pre-fall track: it’s a light dance song for a warm day on the beach and sounds like it would be played in the trendy store H&M.
Cash Machine – D.R.A.M.
Something about D.R.A.M.’s songs are contagious—maybe it is a light-hearted piano mixed with hip-hop, but this song is sure to be a hit and a great follow-up to Broccoli.
Cold Water – Justin Bieber, DJ Snake (Afrojack Remix)
Do you love Cold Water, but you’re somewhat tired of hearing it everywhere you go? Give the song another chance with DJ Afrojack’s remix. It’s Justin Bieber like you never heard him before.
Warmth – Bastille
Bastille wants to live in the moment with you! Enjoy the “Warmth” with their new album Wild World from the band that brought you the hit song “Pompeii”, which you might still have stuck in your head from 2013.
California Heaven – JAHKOY feat, ScHoolboy Q
Did you miss the ScHoolboy Q concert earlier this month? Make up for it and let Canadian-native JAHKOY take you to California. Both artists have been in the area in the past year and, if we are lucky, they will return.
Standing in The Sun – Grouplove
Lay in the grass or sit on the Westside green space, and listen to Grouplove while you “warm [your] head in the sun”. Check out more of their songs for insightful lyrics paired with relaxing music.
Anywhere – Dillon Francis feat. Will Heard
If you listen to Dillon Francis, you can take the party “Anywhere” — or at least, anywhere that you can walk to or that is accessible via the shuttle.
Getaway – Tritonal, Angel Taylor
DJ duo Tritonal released house album “Painting With Dreams” last week. This upbeat track will keep the party going this weekend.
Sit Still, Look Pretty – Daya
Don’t Let Me Down vocalist Daya is a girl power powerhouse. Her sweet voice and edgy lyrics make her the perfect pop queen.
Not Gonna Let You Walk Away – LOLO
You might know LOLO from Panic! At The Disco’s song “Miss Jackson.” When she’s on her own, a soulful Southern voice emerges. Listen to her album In Loving Memory of When I Gave A Sh*t.
