Songs of the Summer

This summer is packing Latino vibes and powerful lyrics in the latest music. Here are the best songs this summer to keep yourself happy and dancing while soaking up the rays.

Selena Gomez – Bad Liar

This song reminds me of the theme song to a long walk, or a scene in a movie when the character is contemplating life by taking a drive somewhere. It is so simple but so addictive of a song, especially when she howls like a wolf in the pre-chorus. Definitely perfect for a chill summer moment.

Shawn Mendes – There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back

Shawn Mendes KEEPS. DELIVERING. HITS! It’s insane! This song starts mellow but slowly builds to where you can’t keep still any more.

Miley Cyrus – Malibu

I mean c’mon, of course this song is perfect for a road trip this summer. Cyrus said she wrote the song when she was driving down Pacific Coast Highway with Liam Hemsworth and was just taking in the moment. That is a life lesson for us all, just look up from your phones, stop worrying and enjoy the moment. The sky is always blue in Malibu.

Pitbull & J Balvin ft. Camila Cabello – Hey Ma

This song is just fun. It was in the recent installment of Fate and the Furious,

Post Malone ft. Quavo – Congratulations

This song goes out to all the graduates and anybody celebrating something this summer! The lyric “work so hard forgot how to vacation” definitely reigns true, especially in American culture. So it is always a working professional’s childhood nostalgia to treat the summer months like it is summer vacation. Let Post Malone help motivate us all to do that.
