The rumors are true: Labor Day is around the corner, which means summer is almost over. You’ve still got a few weeks left to tick off the items on your summer bucket list, though, and we’ve got just the soundtrack to inspire you.
Over on Spotify, we’ve created three themed playlists to shepherd you through the waning days of New York’s second-best season (argue among yourselves). “Summer in the Park” is stacked with tracks for sitting in the grass, with artists including the Chicks, Best Coast and Gladys Knight & the Pips. “Summer on the Dock” is for hanging out waterside, with songs from the likes of Frank Ocean, the Beach Boys and Addison Rae. And for your summer nights, we’ve got “Summer in the Dark,” a night-ready compilation featuring hits from Snail Mail, Blondie and Charlie xcx.
Check out our new playlists here, and be sure to revisit 2024’s Summer Fridays playlist for an added dash of warm weather.
