Basically Over You (B.O.Y.) By Alex Newell.
Do you remember a music show called Glee? (Don’t deny it, we know you’ve at least watched one whole episode), well Alex Newell played the transgender character Unique and has since then released his own EP which has been taking America by storm. One of the first tracks (and one of my personal favourites) Basically Over You is all about telling that one person in your life that you’ve moved on. Perfect for getting over winter breakups and moving onto summer love!

Sexy Funk Thing By Titus Jones.
What happens when you have a mash up consisting of Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars, Rod Stewart and Hot Chocolate? A tune that you will have on repeat all day, everyday. Play it at a house party or on the beach, this remix will certainly get everyone up on their feet.

I Really Like You (Alexiis Remix) by Carly Rae Jempson.
If you really want those chilled out summer vibes, then this remix of Carly Rae Jempson’s song is just what you need. Picture the scene, you’re on the beach, with all your friends, drinking an ice cold drink while having this play in the background. A pop favourite, reborn with a Reggae sound.

Let Your Love Flow By The Bellamy Brothers
An oldie, but a goodie. This acoustic ‘hippie’ style song is perfect around a campfire while the sky turns from baby blue to sapphire red. With compelling lyrics and a mellow tone, this song is one to raise your glasses too.
