DisappearBeyoncé

Beyonce – Disappear

Just the soft, memorable strum of the acoustic guitar in the intro alone makes you feel nostalgic and a little melancholic.

It’s a masterpiece by Beyoncé, the ultimate female singer-songwriter who debuted in the late ’90s as a member of Destiny’s Child, achieved worldwide success, and went on to gain even greater, record-breaking success and recognition as a solo artist.

Released in 2008, the song is included on the double album I Am… Sasha Fierce, which expresses the two contrasting sides of Beyoncé herself, and it’s a ballad that portrays introspective and candid emotions.

It’s by no means flashy, but it offers a precious glimpse into a different side of Beyoncé than her famous hit songs.

Her beautiful voice tenderly sings about the end of a relationship between a man and a woman, quietly enveloping the listener like the calm after a festival.

When Summer’s GoneBlue

When Summer’s Gone

This is a poignant song that intertwines romance with the changing seasons.

Even as the refreshing summer comes to an end, it carries a hopeful message that the bond with a loved one will remain unchanged.

BLUE ENCOUNT’s passionate vocals and driving sound beautifully capture both the loneliness of summer’s end and the anticipation of a new season.

Released in January 2017 and included on the album “Guilty,” this track is recommended for those who want to look back on summer memories and reevaluate their relationships with someone special.

It’s a moving classic that adorns a page of youth and resonates deeply in the heart.

Scottish music producer Calvin Harris collaborated with American rapper Swae Lee on the track “Lean On Me (ft.

Swae Lee).” The song comes together as an R&B piece built on a psychedelic-leaning track.

While the sound is lively and upbeat, the rap delivery itself feels calm.

The lyrics portray the end of summer as a metaphor for a turning point in life.

It also offers a chance to get a sense of who Swae Lee is as a person.

Bam BamCamila Cabello

Camila Cabello – Bam Bam (Official Music Video) ft. Ed Sheeran

Cuban-born, hugely popular singer-songwriter Camila Cabello’s 2022 hit “Bam Bam” features a sound that fully highlights elements of Latin music—her roots—with an easy-to-remember, catchy chorus and a distinctly summery vibe.

That said, many who watched the music video without knowing the lyrics were likely surprised by Camila’s painful appearance in the opening.

In fact, the song tells the story of a protagonist who, after a harsh heartbreak, rises to face forward, expressing a sense of regret yet saying, “that’s life.” It’s said to be strongly influenced by Camila’s personal life, but anyone who’s had a similar experience will surely relate to the lyrics.

Combined with guest vocalist Ed Sheeran’s voice, it’s bound to lift your spirits.

As summer comes to an end, listen to this track, forget your regrets and sadness, and dance until morning!

Feels Like SummerChildish Gambino

Childish Gambino – Feels Like Summer

Childish Gambino is the stage name Donald Glover uses for his work as a musician.

Glover—an actor, film producer, comedian, and screenwriter—is a key artist in contemporary music whose every release has been highly acclaimed.

The song being introduced here, “Feels Like Summer,” is included on the EP Summer Pack, which was surprise-released in 2018, and its animated music video featuring numerous celebrities left a strong impression.

On the surface, it’s a laid-back track that fits perfectly for the tail end of summer when the heat begins to wane.

True to Donald’s socially conscious persona, however, the lyrics tackle serious themes such as environmental issues.

After enjoying the song’s musical qualities, be sure to pay attention to the message it carries as well.
