I will add this ultimate Brazilian summer jam:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UR7O8IekguY
MC Niack • Na Raba Toma Tapão

(I have plenty more (obviously!), but I’m trying to restrain myself)

Only a third of them are actually 2020 but this has been my summerparty for one playlist:

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2Ekk8UJl2YvzAWphF4d0NS?si=vSh1K8P4RYaBCPYQc2xz2A

apols for terminology fail: “Na Raba Toma Tapão” is obv a banger, not a jam.

It’s cool, everyone should listen twice anyway 😎

it's seriously so good

**trigger warning for the video for Govana’s “Likkle Bit Of Money” that I posted without having watched it. basically, skip the part from 1:10 to 1:15, coinciding with the shot sound**

also, it’s ““Likkle Bit a Money”

Somewhere in there

Oxlade - Away
Yung L & Wizkid - Eve Bounce Remix
Lila Iké - Where I'm Coming From
Wande Coal - Again

"blueberry faygo" is so old now but i'm glad it's becoming a big mainstream hit at juuust the right time

I first heard it in early May. Summer!

Soccer 96 - I Was Gonna Fight Fascism

i feel like the song of the summer is "lose yo job".
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lm3SnsOtXQg

Will happily cosine on Azana and Koffee; need to spin the rest.

my impression of this song is honestly not much stronger now than when it originally dropped late last year, but it's well on its way to being huge and certainly 'feels like' summer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E07s5ZYygMg

harry styles - watermelon sugar

lila iké - where i’m coming from
this is dope but it was last summer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEv-Mxdla2g
Chai - Keep on Rocking

Azana's already got two tracks on here ("Your Love" and Sun-El's "Uhuru") and now thanks to ulysses she's got her own thread as well: Azana - Ingoma.

lila iké - where i’m coming from
this is dope but it was last summer

yep, but it's on her EP that dropped in May, which includes a made-in-2020 summer jam in "Stars Align":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZX7UABbHRQ

oh btw, she too happens to have her own thread!

ohh gosh it's the Lila Iké thread.

Habibi Funk is the name of the (reissue) label:

duh lol @ me

oh yeah I've been really loving that Subhana track this year. MENA reggae ftw

I need someone from Farmington Hills, Michigan to step forward and explain this right now pic.twitter.com/LCVdA46XSB

"keep the k on me like my name was Karen"?

Shades of You / Moses Boyd

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WekJRXIKbco
DJ Tunez ft. Wizkid • Cool Me Down

i know it's been floating around all year and popped off most in spring but honestly it's floated around long enough to still feel like one of the summer's defining hits: roddy ricch feat. mustard "high fashion"

it may not be as excellent as the classic that it serves as a stylistic sequel to ("ballin'" obv) but it's still v blissed out + breezy, its broad-but-not-overstated presence a welcome respite from the hellish reality in which we find ourselves

Mungo's Hi-Fi and Marina P cover Soma (maybe my favourite Smashing Pumpkins song?)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6zFyT3n0wE

nice find

Skinshape - Sua Alma

Reniss • Nyama Nyama

The 1975 - Shiny Collarbone

this is so great:

Saronde ft. Idd Aziz - Firewood

summer yams

Bella Boo - Stars (Kornell Kovacs remix)
Humans - Beggin'
SG Lewis - Impact feat. Robyn & Channel Tres
Vagabon - Water Me Down (Pamcy remix)
Whitney - Strange Overtones

70 Shiine and Nacho - Domino
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8UJl665mPM

The new album Warm Nights by Reuben Vaun Smith on Soundway is some sort of beautiful Balearic / Digital Zandoli style crossover. So lovely.

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

that’s “Trip on New Shores” ^^^

oops, sorreh! whole album is lush though mind

very much enjoying the 70 Shiine track - spooky and minimalist

Yeah 70 shine is great! Ty for that one

like a little fluffy cloud floating in the summery sky...

AKA ft. Gemini Major • Energy

...and whoa at “Domino”! fell in love within the first 15 seconds of listening 🥰🥰🥰

you can’t stop the flow:

🀄️🀄️ Martinique to the world: 70 SHiiNE x Nacho • DOMINO 🀄️🀄️

because I was supposed to have been in tokyo this summer:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8IaxcdxipI
Awich - Shook Shook

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6HTFFj1wyU
FNCY - みんなの夏

Victoria Monét - Jaguar

Was listening to this one earlier. Loving most of the selections so far. First Responders and Cool Me Down the best discoveries for me so far.

Well and Domino obviously

Do T Rocker is currently playing, I’m really liking this one, but it could be cut in half. It goes from fascinating to a bit dull after the 3 minute mark. But yeah love that sort of psychedelic vaudeville thing happening throughout.

if you like “Cool Me Down”, this should appeal to you as well:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYiUHMF7upY
DJ Tunez ft. Wizkid, Adekunle Gold & Omah Lay • Pami

And Moka, did you check out my Naija Special poll at all? Lots more Nigerian goodness there! I would be curious to hear your opinion on some of those tracks, whether you vote or not (voting ends tonight anyway).

17 hours left before poll closes! Let me check them out, I’ll post my opinion on the ones I like!

très cool! looking forward to it :-)

(wouldn’t mind hearing about the ones you don’t like either lol)

the up-to-date playlist now has 66 jams (only the saer track is missing, unfortunately):

ILM🦠cruel (cruel) 2020 summer jams

Tiwa Savage's "Glory" feels like a potential ILM big-tent anthem to me. Maybe not that ~summery~, but this summer is a giant asterisk so it works for me:
