I share some of my recommendations for the perfect music for your ‘sunny afternoon chilling in the garden with a glass of something cold’ playlist.

Some you’ll know, some you won’t, but all make me want to put my sunglasses on, drink wine, and get a tan on my very, very pale legs.

Pure Shores by All Saints

Written for The Beach, this lovely summery song has upbeat pop beats with laid back vocals.

Mood Ring by Lorde

A chilled out song with Lorde’s interesting way with lyrics and beautiful voice.

Sweetest Thing I Know by Dr Fabola

This song is about all the beautiful things in life, just like sitting in the sun and feeling grateful for the summer.

Bubbly by Colbie Caillat

A pretty and sweet love song that sounds like love in the sunshine.

I Will Wait by Mumford And Sons

A folky love song that sounds like you’re sitting in a pub beer garden, drinking real ale, and getting just a tiny bit sunburned.

Kaleidoscopes by Constellation Prize

With beautiful vocals and laid back Zero-7 style beats, this is the perfect addition to your summer playlist.

Let The Sunshine In by Jimetta Rose And The Voices Of Creation

This song from an LA community choir led by Jimetta Rose does exactly what it says on the tin. It lets the sunshine in!

Banana Pancakes by Jack Johnson

Jack Johnson’s music epitomizes a relaxing sunny day. It’s laid back and sounds like it was written on the beach.

August by Taylor Swift

Soft vocals like sunshine over your skin from the one and only Taylor Swift.
