1. Show Me Love – Sam Feldt ft. Kimberly Anne

Sam Feldt is no stranger to covering songs with his signature sun-kissed tropical house.

3. Firestone – Kygo ft. Conrad Sewell

We’d be remiss to make a sun soaked playlist without mentioning one of the kings of tropical house: Kygo. Firestone is special in that it sounds genuinely full and warm from beginning to end. It carries a signature tropical house beat, but the slightly melancholic vocal and surrounding production are just as warming. It’s perfect for a dark, cold night in cozied up by the fire.

4. Someday I’ll Be With You – Tyzo Bloom ft. JNNA

This song’s bright and bubbly production plus the shiny, chopped vocals will have you vibing even in the coldest weather. Built on a layer of various synths, it’s sure to put a smile on your face and make you temporarily okay with the fact it’s dark at 4:30 p.m.

5. You Make Me Feel Good – Satin Jackets

This track’s laidback tempo and warm synths are the perfect backdrop to a cold night. The layers are rich, and the vocal samples are straightforward and relaxing. If you’re out in the cold trekking your way to holiday festivities, this is the perfect song to keep you warm on your journey.

6. Drifting Away – Felix Cartel ft. Ofelia K

The hushed vocals and acoustic guitar riffs on this track create a smooth and comforting feeling. Paired with elements of tropical house and an abundance of varied samples and hits, it’s sure to keep you guessing and help you forget the frost.

7. Amor Fati – Washed Out

Washed Out is one of the most dominant artists of chillwave and synth pop, creating songs that somehow sound like a summer day on the lake. Amor Fati touts a groovy bassline and shimmering synths all covered by layers of warming vocals.

8. Otter Pop – Shawn Wasabi ft. Hollis

If you’re looking to bask in a blissful denial in regards to winter weather, this is the track for you. Midi Fighter king and kawaii aficionado Shawn Wasabi will take you on an adventure of sunshine, warm breezes and waves.

9. Tonight – Kidswaste & Manila Killa ft. Chelsea Cutler

Various echo effects on Chelsea Cutler’s gorgeous vocals make this track incredibly comforting. The lyrics are heartfelt and earnest, with beautiful production to back it all up and round it out. Trust us, you’ll want to curl up by the fire with someone you love after this one.

10. This Girl – Kungs vs. Cookin’ On 3 Burners
