St. Louis artist Jaylien takes a break from his more ominous sound and ups the tempo for a breezy offering called “Summer Love,” an ode to warm-weather romance.
Perfect for a poolside party, “Summer Love” is a joyous uptempo track, and although the phrase “summer love” implies a temporary relationship and a sad ending, Jaylien seems unencumbered by these worries, as he sings, “See you remind me of Aaliyah/with a little Nia Long, yeah yeah yeah.”
Listen below:
Jaylien first made a name for himself as a go-to producer and songwriter with “Beautiful,” a worldwide smash recorded by Akon. After the success of “Beautiful,” Jaylien signed to Universal Music Publishing, producing and writing tracks for artists such as Chris Brown, Cody Simpson, Cheryl Cole, T-Pain, LL Cool J, Quincy Jones, will.i.am, and T.I., striking biggest with “Scream and Shout,” a top five Billboard hit for will.i.am and Britney Spears. Last summer, JAYLIEN impressed fans and critics with Summer’s Over, his debut album as a vocalist.
“Summer Love” by Jaylien is a vibrant and nostalgic track that captures the magic of a fleeting summer romance. The song’s upbeat tempo and sun-soaked production create a joyful atmosphere that transports listeners to warm days and starry nights. It’s a feel-good anthem that encapsulates the excitement and spontaneity of summer relationships.
The production features a lively blend of pop and R&B elements, with bouncy drum patterns, catchy synth lines, and a groovy bassline that keep the song energetic and danceable. The arrangement has a playful feel, incorporating subtle guitar riffs and harmonized backing vocals that add to the track’s summery vibe.
Jaylien’s vocals are at the forefront, his voice exuding warmth and charm. He delivers the lyrics with a sense of youthful exuberance, capturing the thrill of meeting someone special and the carefree spirit of summer. The lyrics reflect on the intensity of a summer fling, where every moment feels like an adventure and the possibilities are endless. The chorus is particularly catchy, with a melody that lingers in the mind, evoking images of beach parties, road trips, and sunset strolls.
“Summer Love” is a celebration of the moments that make summer unforgettable. It’s a song that invites listeners to reminisce about their own summer romances or dream of new ones. With its upbeat energy, infectious chorus, and Jaylien’s charismatic performance, “Summer Love” is the perfect soundtrack for those endless summer days and nights.
