Paak’s easygoing, in-the-pocket funk is made for hazy summer days. Hit the shuffle button if you must, but you’ll be defying me if you do.Īnderson. It’s organized as a playlist, intended to be listened to in order.
Paak’s “Lockdown,” which kicks it off, is pretty great. Programming note: The songs are not ranked in order of best to worst, even though Anderson. And they’ll bring us back to this moment in time when we hear them in years down the road, like a Jason Isbell “Dreamsicle” from a summer that’s faded into the past. They all do what pop music does best: Make us feel alive in the here and now.
So there are also songs here that, coupled with anger and sorrow, sing of resilience, determination, and joy. There are some of those escapist songs here, in my playlist of 2020 releases - pop songs about simple pleasures, seasonal romance, and the comfort of childhood memories.īut this is a summer like no other, as the world contends with a pandemic and people take to the streets to protest racial injustice. Songs of summer are supposed to be romantic and carefree, offering us a lighthearted distraction from the real world, at least for the season.
