Musician-actor Luke Kenny picks 5 songs you need on your summer playlist

From Years & Years to Selena Gomez, it’s time to add songs by these artists to your playlist this summer

King by Years & Years

Already a UK No 1 hit, this British duo has yet to break stateside and, of course, India. A superb pop song with such a killer hook line is just waiting to be sung out loud.

Cake By The Ocean by DNCE

A sly way of saying sex on the beach, this one has all the trappings of being a huge summer hit with a funky video to boot. Play this loud.

This one is going to be coming out of your ears soon, in brain blasting 130 BPM (beats per minute) version mixes. A cool heartbreak pop song with an infectious uptempo beat .

Sound Of Your Heart by Shawn Hook

All you Sam Smith/John Newman fans, here’s a new-ish kid on the block (already three albums old) to discover. Start with this song - a dance pop ditty with a quirky video. Play on repeat.

Hands To Myself by Selena Gomez

This one’s a super guilty pleasure song that will have you bopping as your eyes pop at the video. But hear the bass kick as she ramps it up. Summer just got a little hotter.
