USU Students Share Summer Jams

The sun is out and the days are getting longer, here comes the season of pool parties and bonfires in the night.

It’s finally the time of year to roll the windows down and blast the stereo in the car. Good music can help add to the summer experience. Whether it’s country, hip hop, rock or pop, many people have one song that helps them celebrate their summer of fun in the sun. Here’s what summer students in Logan say they’ll be listening to all summer long.

Kaysen Spencer, a USU sophomore, said rap is on his summer playlist.

“I for sure love ‘Taking Shots’ by Post Malone. I also think ‘Glorious’ by Mackelmore is good, too, because it is such a feel-good song,” he said.

Annie Romano, a USU Student from Las Vegas, Nevada picked her song because of the memories it brings with it.

“My jam right now is ‘Have it All’ by Jason Mraz. There were a whole lot of goodbyes last week with everyone leaving school and it sums up what I would say to my friends that I’ve made. It’s a super upbeat song so I love it,” she said.

Other students like to pick throwback songs. Emma Brown, a USU sophomore, said her pick is a older song.

“Definitely ‘Mr Blue Sky’ by Electric Light Orchestra,” she said, “because every time I’m in the car, I have to listen to it, roll the windows down and pretend I’m jamming with a car full of friends,”

To be reminded of summer memories, Gracie Hutchens, a USU sophomore, said her pick “Island in The Sun” by Weezer.

“It just makes me think of summer days driving with the windows down on the beach and dancing and singing with friends,” she said.

Often, popular artists will release new songs during the summer months. Malia Hola, USU student, likes to see what is new.

“It depends on my mood, but my all time favorite is Shawn Mendes. He has three new songs out right now. It’s pretty catchy and I like it,” she said.
