With this unseasonably warm weather we have been getting, it is time to break out an upbeat playlist to match.\u00a0 One that you can sit out and bask in the sun, walk around campus, or drive with the windows down to.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n To start we have \u201cHenny in the Hamptons\u201dby Bren Joy, an R&B track that kicks off with a little piano intro and features a smooth voice and layered, building vocals.\u00a0 Next is \u201cSuperfruit\u201d by Maude Latour, an electrifying pop track that will make you want to dance along and is perfect for walks or workouts.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Of course, \u201cCruel Summer\u201d by Taylor Swift has to make an appearance on this list.\u00a0 Summer is in the name and the vocals and production make it perfect to cruise to with the windows down.\u00a0 It also tells the perfect story of a summer fling potentially turning into something more.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cDaniel You\u2019re Still A Child” by Declan Mckenna stands out because it has the sound of a soda can opening that fits so well with the feel of a warm spring or summer day, as does the general instrumentation of the song.\u00a0 Japanese Breakfast has a few upbeat songs with fresh, unique production but \u201cBe Sweet” and “In Heaven\u201d are the obvious standout for this playlist.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The 1975 are also always a good contender for a fun, upbeat soundtrack.\u00a0 For this playlist we have \u201cIf You\u2019re Too Shy (Let me Know)\u201d with fun, overlapping lyrics you can\u2019t help but attempt to sing along to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cPerfect Places\u201d by Lorde is perfect for a night out or getting ready for one. \u201cSummertime in Paris” by Jaden Smith and featuring his sister Willow, once again begs to be included with its name alone but is also the perfect feel good song that\u2019s a bit more mellow than some others on the list.\u00a0 This would be a good one to simply bask in the sun with.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0For something very upbeat, there\u2019s \u201cDaydreaming\u201d by Harry Styles which is a perfect wake up song that honestly brings your energy levels up just by listening.\u00a0 Wallows also has a lot of good songs to just casually listen to while enjoying a nice day out, but \u201cQuarterback\u201d is especially perfect.\u00a0 It has an addicting chorus that you won\u2019t be able to stop listening to.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Lastly, we will end the playlist with \u201cWhat a Feeling\u201d by One Direction because, why not?\u00a0 Even if you consider yourself against One Direction you should give this one a chance because it does just suck you in and almost makes you feel as if you are in a movie, who does not love that?\u00a0
