All The New Music Dropping In August Could Be Songs Of The Summer

Summer is in full swing, and many of the top contenders for “song of the summer” have already hit streaming services. But — the best is yet to come. August is chock-full of highly-anticipated music releases, and one of these artists dropping new music in August just might bless us with the bop of the summer.

Summer is usually the time artists released their most high-energy, pumped-up anthems. Doja Cat’s “Kiss Me More” has been a fan-favorite all summer long. Saweetie’s “Best Friend” (also featuring Doja Cat) has been a contender for song of the season as well. Let us not forget about Justin Bieber’s “Peaches,” which completely commanded airwaves upon its March 2021 release.

These songs are hard to top, yes, but summer isn’t over yet! The artists releasing music in August are heating things up before warm weather months come to a close. Some of these album releases are an especially important milestone as they mark a return to the scene for the first time since the pandemic. Other artists, such as Kanye West, have had fans anxiously awaiting new music after months of teasing. Basically, these new songs and album releases are not to be missed.
