The end of the 2022-2023 school year is just around the corner, which means the lively summer days are quickly approaching. But for some, the summer vibes do not really settle in until a summer playlist has been created.
If you are in need of some tried-and-true music blasting through your speakers, look no further than the UOG Summer Playlist 2023 to get you in the summer mood.
Thanks to University of Guam students, the Tritons Call staff was able to generate a playlist based on their feedback.
To kick things off, students hand-picked songs that they enjoy listening to when they feel the warmth of the sun beaming down on them.
“The song that I want to play when I feel the warmth of the sun beaming on me is “Champagne Dial” by Col3trane,” said Marian Salenga, a major in psychology at the University of Guam. “It has a beat that makes me bump my head left right up and down.”
Lorenzo Jorolan, a bio-medical major, recommended another banger.
““Feels” by Calvin Harris, even though it’s a bit of an older song, stays as a staple in my summer playlist because of its “electropical” feel and catchy pre-chorus and chorus,” said Jorolan.
“Nothing but good vibrations when listening and singing along to this song with friends or family.”
Speaking of good vibrations, Kyra Perez, communication and philosophy major at the University of Guam, suggested “Island Under the Sun” by Weezer.
However, If you are feeling romantic this summer, then look no further than Salenga’s pick.
““Superlove” by Whethan ft. Oh Wonder, as the title suggests, enhances the feelings of summer love,” said Salenga. “The beautiful tune of Oh Wonder and the intricate drop created by Whethan just concocts absolute love waves in your brain.”
If you are not already feeling the summer love, take a listen to the next pick by Perez that will guarantee that you will fall in love this summer.
“No summer lover, but “Closer” by The Chainsmokers has always had a summer love vibe,” said Perez.
Are you worried that the playlist will not have popular songs you can jam to? Jorolan has got you with his pick.
“Let us face it, whether you are into K-pop or not, “Cupid” by Fifty-Fifty is a song that when played everyone will sing along to and would be stuck in people’s heads for the next four days. There is no debate on that,” said Jorolan.
As if we were done with the conversation of summer love, Salenga drops another great recommendation that we guarantee all of you will know the lyrics to.
“One song I can guarantee my people would know is “LOVE” by Keyshia Cole. It is a timeless song that we can sing at any moment of life L-O-L,” said Salenga.
Perez suggests a more of a punk-rock tune that will surely get you screaming at the top of your lungs this summer.
““Sugar We’re Going Down” by Fall Out Boy is a classic pop-rock anthem,” said Perez.
Wrapping up our summer picks are songs that will make you want to roll down your windows and blast them through your speakers.
““Jaime All Over” by Mayday Parade, is a classic summer pop-rock song about going on adventures and just being in the moment,” said Perez.
Once you are done with pop-rocking, take a quick listen to Jorolan’s pick.
““Pepas” by Farruko is a song that my cousins and I listen to on road trips,” mentioned Jorolan. “It might sound like more of a meme when we listen to this song, but the feeling is just unmatched when the windows are down. Everyone is screaming and the inside of the car is just completely rowdy.”
Finally, we top the playlist off with Salenga’s personal favorite.
“A song that I just wanna blast with my windows down and belt out is “Jaded” by Miley Cyrus,” said Salenga.
