GoldKiiara
This one is also a slow, trance-like track.
The chorus is particularly distinctive.
If you listen closely, it sounds as if the words were spliced together afterward, and this unique approach is resonating especially well with younger listeners.
This GirlKungs vs Cookin’ on 3 Burners
This is a must-hear track for people who like songs that sound like they’d be playing in international apparel stores, or who just love watching artistic music videos.
It’s an upbeat, high-energy song that would make your body start moving if it came on at a youth-oriented club.
Sucker for PainLil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, Imagine Dragons, Logic, Ty Dolla $ign, Ambassadors
It’s rare to see such a star-studded lineup of famous hip-hop artists come together to create a single track like this.
Be sure to pay attention from start to finish as they each bring out their strengths and blend them into a cohesive song.
7 YearsLukas Graham
In this song, the narrator finally comes to understand, as an adult, what their parents taught them at ages seven, eleven, and twenty, feeling those lessons deeply through personal experience.
It’s a slightly bittersweet yet moving ballad that any adult can relate to.
Cold WaterMajor Lazer ft. Justin Bieber and MØ
No matter how tough things get, if you’re drowning in “cold water,” I’ll jump in and save you—this message of a strong bond is conveyed.
The music video is made in the recently popular style that simply displays the lyrics.
The OceanMike Perry ft. Shy Martin
This is another trendy trance-style summer 2016 track.
With an upbeat sound perfect for its summer release, the music video’s scenes of the sea, sunsets, and mountains feel refreshingly cool and fun.

Final SongMØ
She’s still a newcomer, but in 2016 her hit song suddenly became the talk of the town.
It carries a message from young people who want to enjoy it even more—“Don’t let this be the last song.” The music video, where she dances and flies freely through the air, is nothing short of wondrous.
