Some bangerz for the beach, bar, and blacktop. What will be this year’s “Fancy”?
Jamie xx ft. Young Thug & Popcaan â€" "I Know There's Gonna Be (Good Times)"
Electronic artist and producer Jamie xx told Grantland that the inspiration for this near-perfect summer jam came from driving over the Williamsburg bridge from Brooklyn to Manhattan listening to New York hip-hop station Hot 97. “It was perfectly fitting,” he remembers, and from that experience came an instantly likable anthem that defines what summer is all about in only two words: good times.
Years & Years â€" "King"
Released in late February in Year & Years' native U.K., "King" has already topped the U.K. singles chart and is now racing up U.S. dance charts. One spin of "King," and it's obvious why it's not slowing down anytime soon. It's exactly the club track built for hot summer nights.
Miguel ft. Wale â€" "Coffee (F***ing)"
It's been almost three long years since Miguel dropped his last solo album and leg-dropped his way into our hearts. "Coffee (F***ing)" is one hell of a comeback. While lacking the anthemic, sing-along qualities of a typical Song of the Summer, it's just too good too overlook, especially when Miguel starts singing his heart out as the track reaches its apex.
Britney Spears & Iggy Azalea â€" "Pretty Girls"
Could Iggy Azalea capture the Song of the Summer crown for the second consecutive year? While "Fancy" undoubtedly ruled supreme last year, "Pretty Girls" lacks its predecessor's immediate infectiousness. But who are we to doubt Iggy, especially when she's teamed up with BRITNEY?! As you should know by now, you never bet against Britney.
