Essential Albums for Your Summer Playlist

By: Jordan Ross

The weather is warming up, and we’ve almost made it through the Spring pollen to the summer season! Get excited for drives with the windows down, margaritas on the beach, or tanning sessions at the pool with these albums.

Tate McRae - So Close To What

Nothing will leave you feeling as self-confident and ready to take on the world as this album. It's an absolute essential!

ROLE MODEL - Kansas Anymore

You may have seen the viral TikToks of Role Model’s performances of “Sally When the Wine

Runs Out”, as he is typically joined by a dancing fan, or occasionally Renee Rapp, or even Jake Shane. Channel your inner Sally with this album as you pack for a summer trip.

Lady Gaga - MAYHEM

Need I explain this one? Our queen has delivered insane summer bops right on time.

GROUPLOVE - Never Trust a Happy Song

A timeless classic that will always scream summer, friends, and joy.

Sabrina Carpenter - Short n’ Sweet Deluxe

Espresso was the song of the summer last year, and Sabrina’s new bonus tracks are guaranteed to make you sing at the top of your lungs.

Young the Giant - American Bollywood

Turn on this album for the chill, rainbow-after-the-downpour-steam-coming-off-the-pavement

vibes.

SZA - SOS

Bop after bop after bop!

Taylor Swift - 1989 (Taylor’s Version)

Perfect, no notes.

Upcoming: MARINA “Princess of Power”

MARINA’s brand new album is set to be released in early June. And based on her killer

Coachella set, it’s bound to have the girls dancing for days.
