June 21^st marks the official start of summer, and nothing screams summer like a playlist!

If you thought Lana del Rey’s only melancholy song about summer was “Summertime Sadness”, it is my great pleasure to introduce you to the hypnotic, genre bending track “Summer Bummer”. The second installment of Rouge18’s Spotify playlist series—“Queue You In”—brings you the First Day of Summer playlist, a collection of songs made for summer. Bonus: all of the tracks on this playlist have “summer” in their name.
