The biggest trends shaping this year's Songs of Summer As these hits promise to heat up the summer, our editors are seeing a number of trends unfold, including:
Global spread of Afro-fusion: Songs like Show Me Love by WizTheMc, bees & honey, and Tyla-which fuses electronic, Afrobeats and R&B-and YA BABA by DYSTINCT and French Montana-which blends Moroccan Arabic with French- are boiling over across Africa, Europe, and the United States.
Summer of lovestruck pop: It wouldn't be summer without pop, and our top picks this year include lovestruck, lyric-driven tracks by breakout artists like Ordinary by Alex Warren, Blue Strips by Jessie Murph, and back to friends by sombr.
High-BPM rave picks up the pace: Dance BPMs continue to rise with high-speed garage, house, and rave hits like Running Around by Ely Oaksand Say My Name Remix by Morgan Seatree and Florence + The Machine.
Soundtracking a hazy, chilled-out summer: On the other hand, hazy, chill sounds are having a moment, too. No One Noticed by The Mar as, You'll Be in My Heart Spotify Singles by NIKI, Love Me Not by Ravyn Lenae, and Summer Sweat by Hannah Cohen all invoke the mood for watching a perfect sunset with friends on a hot summer evening.
Country collabs on deck: Collaborations are always big, but country is especially pushing the boundaries of the genre with Morgan Wallen teaming up with Tate McRae on What I Want, and BigXthaPlug finding his way to country with a little help from Bailey Zimmerman on All The Way.
Our editors will be watching (and listening) all summer long as new music drops, unexpected hits take off, and the listening landscape evolves-so, be on the lookout for updates to our list here and across Spotify News social channels.
