As the sun blares on, how about we turn up the sounds that pair nicely with it? We've curated a playlist that calls for no particular agenda, which is exactly what your summer deserves: all that's off the cuff, sensual, warm, and spontaneous. This arrangement includes Prince's free-spirited "Erotic City"; a zingy Lizzo jam; some goods from Mary J. Blige, Ariana Grande, and Frank Ocean; R&B cool kids like Snoh Aalegra and Ari Lennox; and a smooth-funk hit of Drake's.
Now's the time to make space for unadulterated joy, open yourself up to more possibility, and just groove. We'll be playing this on winding roads with the top down, at an intimate picnic with friends, or sipping orange wine at a bonfire. Summer can feel like a lot of go, go, go but allow these beats to provide a sultry pause.
