Genres and decades collide in this road-trip-ready playlist from Brisbane alt-pop newcomer Hallie, who released their debut EP This Is Love in early 2023. “I made this playlist for times when you are driving home from the beach slightly sunburnt, full of endorphins, feeling fatigue from the sun and a sense of peace and clarity as your big day closes,” Hallie tells Apple Music. “These are the songs I like to listen to when I feel the most present and content—introspective yet happy.” With those heady summer vibes firmly in mind, these selections range from Shania Twain’s anthemic country pop and Daft Punk’s robo-funk to Tame Impala’s dream-pop balladry and HAIM’s sisterly solidarity. Read on for Hallie’s thoughts on four standout tracks—including one of their own. Beabadoobee, “Sunny Day” “This is my favourite song at the moment. I rarely feel super connected to a song on first listen and I listened to this on repeat when I first found it. I think this will me my No. 1 anthem this summer.” Hallie, “Love!” “I had to put my own song in there because I think it’s the only truly happy love song I have written. It makes me feel so grateful for the love surrounding me and listening to it on a drive home with all my friends is my happy place.” Nelly Furtado, “I’m Like a Bird” “This reminds me of car trips with my family and evokes so much nostalgia. It’s also just a fantastic song in general.” Father John Misty, “Real Love Baby” “This is the most beautiful and spiritual song to ever exist. Whenever I listen to it, I feel such peace and gratitude for being alive and feeling connected. I have never not driven home from the beach to this song.”
