Need to refresh your seasonal Spotify playlists? If the on-again-off-again Kansas spring weather isn’t motivating you to do so, let the staff of the Harbinger help! Here are our curated song picks to put you in a 70 degree mood:

Katherine McGinness- Photographer
Santeria- Sublime
“It’s catchy and has that summery, upbeat vibe”

Reilly Moreland- Photographer
I Like it- Cardi B
“It has a nice beat to it and Cardi B is just a queen in general”

Dalton Reck- Video
Make it Right- The Greeting Committee
“The song is a bop. It makes you feel good, getting out of winter and going into spring.”

Diana Percy- Photo Editor
Sunflower- Rex Orange County
“It has some chill spring vibes that are good for warmer weather and rolling your windows down in your car”

Peyton Watts- Live Broadcast Editor
Cole World- J. Cole
“Probably the best song on Cole World: A Sideline Story.”

Mac Newman – Copy Editor
Headstone- Flatbush Zombies
“They just released their second studio album called ‘Vacation in Hell’ and this is my favorite on the album”

Lizzie Kahle- Assistant Print Editor
Better Not- Louis the Child
“It’s the kind of song you would listen to while in a topless Jeep. Louis the Child’s music fits into a unique genre called House Music, which in layman terms, is a type of music that would fall on the low end of the EDM spectrum. I also ate dinner with Louis the Child, who are two male DJs, while I was in Mexico. So you could say I am a big fan.”

Kaleigh Koc- Online Editor
Beautiful Thing- Grace VanderWaal
“She’s that one girl that wrote her own song and then it became famous”

Alex Freeman- Online News Editor
I Like It Like That- Hot Chelle Rae
“If you say you don’t jam out whenever this 2011 bop comes on, you’re lying. It’s time to bring this guilty pleasure back”

Lucy Hoffman- Mobile Media Editor
Don’t Stop Making it Happen- Grouplove
“It makes me feel like I want to just go run.”

Reser Hall- Online Editor
Powerglide- Rae Sremmurd
“So far this is my favorite song released that is going to be a part of their triple disc album. I think it has the potential to be a song that can be listened to all summer long.”

Emily Fey- Assistant Print Editor
90210- Travis Scott
“90210 by Travis Scott has the ability to either make me fall asleep or get super hyped up somehow. I refuse to ever skip this song when it comes on, no matter how old it is.”

Caroline Chisholm- Spread Editor
Girl- Jukebox
“Girl is just one of those songs that immediately puts you in a good mood. If I’m having a bad day, this is the song I put on in my car.”

Lawder DeSantis- Videographer
Careless Whisper- George Michael
“It is my childhood song. I used to listen to it in 7th grade all the time.”

Aislinn Menke- Photographer
Lush Life- Zara Larsson
“No matter what time of year you listen to it, it feels like it’s a warm sunny day.”

Abby Walker- Features Editor
Seven – Rainbow Kitten Surprise
“This song is seven times better than the average song.”

Avery Walker- Video Editor
Moby- Porcelain
“ASAP Rocky sampled this on his new song, “Forever.” I honestly just fell in love with this song. It’s a lot different than what I usually listen to and I think that’s why I like it so much.”

Ty Browning- Photographer
Lights Turned on- Childish Gambino
“It’s a good song”
