where the hell is the summer jams 2020 thread?

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?)

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

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

Awich - Shook Shook

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:

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:
