Back in August 2016 I did a post of my Top 10 Summer Songs. You can check it out here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2016/08/top-10-summer-songs.html
Now since it's summer again and we're having what it one of the hottest days so far (31/32 Celsius in some places, which is hot for the UK!), I'm sharing some more summer songs. :)
Robin Thicke feat. Pharrell Williams
American/Canadian singer Robin Thicke's single Wanna Love You Girl has a great exotic beach vibe and was released in August 2005. It was a Weekly Music Video back in May 2012: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2012/05/weekly-music-video_30.html
Hadise- Yaz Günu
Turkish Belgian singer Hadise's 2015 single Yaz Günu translates as "Summer Day" in English and has a suitable video to accompany it! It was released in May 2015 and I featured it as a Weekly Music Video in July that year: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2015/07/weekly-music-video.html
Mila J- Kickin' Back
Mila's single Kickin' Back is on her EP 213 and was released in July 2016. It has parts that are similar to Will Smith and Jazzy Jeff's Summertime (which is in my first Summer Songs post) and Aaliyah's A Girl Like You. Nice, laid-back summer vibe. I featured it as my Weekly Music Video 2 years ago: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2016/07/weekly-music-video_13.html
Update 23/7/21: I have since learnt that all 3 songs sampled Kool & the Gang's Summer Madness! :)
Calvin Harris + Dua Lipa- One Kiss
Calvin and Dua's On Kiss came out in May and it suits the summer season: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2018/05/weekly-music-video_41.html
Yemi Alade- How I Feel
Nigerian singer Yemi's single How I Feel features lots of beach and yacht scenes! It was a Weekly Music Video in June: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2018/06/weekly-music-video_36.html
5 Seconds of Summer- Youngblood
Their name has summer is in it, so I'm including 5SOS' latest single Youngblood! Check it out here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2018/06/weekly-music-video_27.html
Jessi- Down
Korean American rapper and singer Jessi's latest single has a tropical sound and beach video which fits this time of year. Jessi (full name Jessica Hyun-ju Ho) was born and raised in the US and moved to Korea aged 15. She's been releasing music since 2005. Her debut EP Un2verse was released in July 2017.
The video for Down was uploaded to Youtube on 6th July. It's a mixture of Korean and English.

Hope you're enjoying the summer. I danced at an event with my belly dance group at midday today and it was really hot! I'm staying indoors for the rest of the day, lol. It's 30C (86F) in my town this evening.
Hope you like the songs! What is your summer soundtrack? :)
