Summer Songs 2023 Highlights
Victoria Monét – On My Mama
When Victoria Monét shared the video for her summer-ready anthem, On My Mama, it set the internet on fire. The video trended at number 4 on YouTube. It’s been Victoria Monét’s big breakout year and the video lighting up social media was definitely a big highlight.
Jorja Smith – Little Things
Jorja Smith has made a strong return just in time for summer 2023. And she’s gunning for the songs of the summer. Her latest release, ‘Little Things’ is the ultimate summer song. An instant summer anthem. Produced by British producers P2J and New Machine, ‘Little Things’ is as flirty as it is energetic, and with a video to match.
The song is pretty self explanatory, I had a lil concoction – rum, ting and a magnum. When we started creating this song I was just imagining hearing this walking into a party and seeing someone I’d had my eye on. It’s fun!”
– Jorja Smith
The visuals for ‘Little Things’ are vibey too. Throwback to the house party era with documentary-style footage for full nostalgia feels.
KAYTRAMINÉ – 4EVA
KAYTRAMINÉ, the collab album from KAYTRANADA & Aminé is finally here. Thankfully, they’ve made it clear that this album is for summer vibes specifically. They announced the album with the release of 4EVA, an infectious jam and instant strong contender for song of the summer. Crucially, the album has delivered on being an instant classic.
Jordan Ward’s Rise – White Crocs
Jordan Ward’s rise since he shared his debut album, FORWARD, in March has been meteoric. He’s certainly one of 2023’s breakout R&B artists. As Jordan has blown up over the past few months, his single WHITE CROCS has also blown up with co-signs from Sza and Tyler the Creator. WHITE CROCS is a Hip-Hop influenced, mid-tempo dance-ready groove.
