Childish Gambino
Summertime Magic & Feels Like Summer
Donald Glover, pictured, takes a break from the sociopolitical heaviness of his thoughtprovoking video and song This Is America to give us some bops to enjoy. Summertime
Magic is a catchy love song with Nigerian pop vibes to it, while Feels Like Summer is a soulful jam that sounds like the love child of Miguel and Toro Y Moi. Keep these on the playlist for your braais and pool parties when hotter weather comes to the southern hemisphere.
Ariana Grande — God is a Woman
Another single from the 2010s Mariah Carey’s upcoming fourth album, Sweetener.
While the title seems like a feminist statement, what exactly Grande is referring to isn’t very clear in the song (she’s singing about sex, she’s singing about being adored but she’s also singing about ... haters?). Luckily her voice is great, the beat is good and the melody is catchy.
