As August rolls on, schools across the country are just days or weeks from starting fall semester. I think I speak for most when I say this has probably been the weirdest summer ever. Shelter-in-place orders were put in place mid-March, and it feels like normal life has just halted to a stop ever since.What hasn’t stopped, luckily, is new music, and one of the things I was most excited about during this very dreary period is all the new and old content I’d catch up on. I’m always going to remember the following songs as those that got me through staying at home for the longest March ever. Here are just a few highlights of my long, quarantine playlist-filled summer.MARCH: Chilombo / Jhene AikoTAKE TIME / GiveonFuture Nostalgia / Dua LipaPartymobile / PARTYNEXTDOORHeaven or Hell / Don ToliverIs Everybody Going Crazy? / Nothing But ThievesApril / Beach BunnyHeartbreak Weather / Niall HoranBetween Us / dvsn ft.
