Julia Stone’s Summer Nights Playlist

Julia Stone’s Summer Nights Playlist

Even once the day is done, summer offers long warm nights to share with your mates. That’s the vibe behind this atmospheric—yet no less anthemic—playlist from Julia Stone, who’s been busy carving out a spacious niche for herself as a solo artist since her career-making early work with her brother Angus. “It’s that time as the sun has set, dinner is finished and you move to the backyard to hang with friends,” Stone tells Apple Music. “Sitting around talking, laughing, sharing and drinking your favourite wine. It’s one of those summer nights.” Now that the mood is set, sink into these warm night-time tunes and read on for a few loving shout-outs from Stone. James Blake, “Coming Back (feat. SZA)” “I’ve been a fan of James Blake for so long. Everything he makes is so atmospheric. His music is extremely thought-provoking in the best possible way.” St. Vincent, “New York” “St. Vincent is an absolute force in the world. I had to have one of her tracks on this playlist. She’s an extraordinary songwriter and I have her on all my playlists, no matter what time of the year. This track is one of my favourites. It’s one of her more sentimental songs.” Drake, “Passionfruit” “I loved covering this song with the guys at triple j and Angus. Always enjoy hearing it when it pops up on someone’s playlist.”
