https://youtu.be/D-bYv33e6N0

Really popular and released 9 months but technically this is its first summer in the northern hemisphere

angles is dope

an anyone doing a playlist of these ?

On it: ILM☀️Songs of the Summer 2019.

(work in progress, and I’m sorry, carne asada, but “Old Town Road” is on your playlist twice!)

Done and dusted, so let’s have lots more of everybody’s summer jams!

(currently enjoying Genius of Time’s “Peace Bird” off that playlist)

that whole ep is worthwhile

this album is also great summer fare btw

The title track sounds unfathomably summery to me right now, but you get to choose the track for the playlist - which one will it be?

(my bad, that is one track - thought you meant you posted the whole album)

naw, but whole album is worth exploring!

(work in progress, and I’m sorry, carne asada, but “Old Town Road” is on your playlist twice!)

lol fair enough

My endless summer loop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeJeRmHZtrg

Jungle Beats • Sapha Lonto

Lmao my friend just sent me that song and I was about to post it here after searching in vain for any other ILM gecs threads

Since breastcrawl mentioned it in another thread, here's NSG's OT Bop. It's definitely a bop.

So we're almost in July : by now the official song of the summer should be at full throttle !
What is it ? (I'm old and soooo out of the loop I might not have heard it yet...)

wow "baby are you coming" is MONUMENTAL.

J Balvin, Bad Bunny - como un bebe

the Francis Bebey track upthread is absolutely incredible as well.

Goldlink - u say (feat. Tyler the creator)

Brijean - show and tell

and the Etella song!

this thread is fantastic.

That Balvin x Bunny track moka mentioned, with heavy Nigerian involvement (it was produced by Legendury Beatz and features Mr Eazi).

the Goldlink is phenomenal

and that is, too, breastcrawl..

Would you be interested in our playlist? ILM☀️Songs of the Summer 2019

"spanish song" is my personal goldlink pick but it's not a single, so

You can post any summer(y) song your heart desires, is how I understand this thread.

this one's a grower

I CANNOT STRESS HOW TRUE THIS IS. this is the track of the summer for me, hands-down.

the video also has some of the greatest comments i've ever seen on a YT vid.

Vilho Gottlieb . 2 months ago

mom enters my room
Mom: switch that off
Me: Why?
Mom*angry*: WE GOT BETTER SPEAKERS IN THE SITTING ROOM!!

This is kind of from last year depending on which country you're from, but Marvay's 'At Large' is my summer sunshine anthem
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMipOUYSnqE

The only good thing about Old Town Road is that it sounds like he's singing 'I'm gonna take my horse to a hotel room'. Video's funny though.

SAULT - let me go

I think “5” will be my album of the summer, at least in the first weeks. The whole album is great but “let me go” mixes northern soul with jaki liebezeit styled krautrock drums. So I’m in love.

People who liked “Baby Are You Coming?” also liked:

MFR Souls ft. TallArseTee • Bamb’ikhanda

(I like the vibe of that party!)

thanks for that rec Moka! that whole album is dope. Can't find a lot of info on the band though xp

Yeah I had to write them for more info and for a release date on any physical formats as there’s almost no info on them atm. They just replied to keep my eyes on their social media... which is limited to instagram I think?

Equiknoxx - Manchester ft Fox & Brent Bird

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaxpYnPbx6g

Schacke - Kisloty People

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FundLlhlUgk

"Kisloty People, where is your past?
Kisloty People, how long will you last?"

damn no one posts rap music in here unless its from London

Ambjaay - Uno
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_M1UoraeFw

I feel like YG's "Go Loko" (which feels like a blatant conceptual rip-off of this) manages to be more "effective" and less creatively successful at once

Duke Deuce - Yeh
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWJNTJ_FLj4

Duke Deuce is bringing that crunk energy back w/ a ton of personality, personally very into

T9ine - Mind of a Real
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFyPuglJh6s

more relaxed summer anthem, they deleted the original upload of this which had way more streams but its been growing steadily over the past couple months

oops thats the wrong one, keeper saved it!

retake!

Alina Pash - Slukhay

Been listening to her recent album a lot this summer - there's a lot more traditional instrumentation in there than you'd expect.

At tonight’s VMAs:

SONG OF SUMMER PRESENTED BY SAMSUNG:
Ariana Grande & Social House – "boyfriend" -- WINNER
Billie Eilish – “bad guy”
DaBaby – “Suge”
Ed Sheeran & Justin Bieber – “I Don't Care”
Jonas Brothers – “Sucker”
Khalid – “Talk”
Lil Nas X ft. Billy Ray Cyrus – “Old Town Road (Remix)”
Lil Tecca – “Ransom”
Lizzo – “Truth Hurts”

Shawn Mendes & Camila Cabello – “Señorita”
Taylor Swift – “You Need To Calm Down”

In honor of its big win:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SRxBTtspYM

I love Ariana, and I wish I could say deserved winner, but in what climate / timezone / hemisphere is “Boyfriend” the Song of Summer?

(added it to the playlist of course)

Those noms are garbage.

Too right, so let’s forget about those SamSungs and continue to focus on our own Songs of Zimmer:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnO3wxDfJXw
Lulu James • Zim Zimmer

Little known fact: she has her own thread.

Lovely reggaeton:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a76lWh5yJCU
Ceasese ft. Polimá Westcoast & Young Cister • Te quiero ver

I love Ariana, and I wish I could say deserved winner, but in what climate / timezone / hemisphere is “Boyfriend” the Song of Summer?

It was a fairly big hit in a lot of countries, and has a fresh, summery vibe. Doesn’t seem like a crazy choice!

Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice and it totally fits on this thread, but it’s not even a big hit by Ariana’s standards, let alone the kind of dominant song that defines a summer for lots of people, which is the point of this type of award afaict.

Turns out it’s a social media award, so it really reflects online mobilization.
