Sometimes it takes a bit of willpower—or simply positive thinking—to bring a new season to full fruition. At least, that’s what Caleb Nott—who, with his sister Georgia, forms the New Zealand alt-pop duo BROODS—likes to think. And he programmed the following songs accordingly, with a focus on breathy melodies and undeniable rhythms. “This playlist is here to cheer on the sun to poke through those clouds,” Caleb tells Apple Music. “It’s time to manifest summer.” Listen to judge for yourself if he succeeds, and read on for more of his insights. Dijon, “Many Times” “When I saw this pop up I couldn’t help but get excited. Two of my favourite artists—Dijon with the help of Mk.gee—really did create a dream collab and I can’t wait to hear more.” Wings, “Arrow Through Me” “This song is prolific in our friend group, and we all worship its undeniable groove. This song never fails to make me feel better.” Sam Evian, “Next to You (feat. Kazu Makino)” “Another dream collaboration between two of my favourite artists. Kazu Makino [from Blonde Redhead] has one of the most sweet and vulnerable vocals and her own album Adult Baby is a super important album to both Georgia and me. We worship anything she does.” Nana Tuffour, “Sikyi Medley” “Every time I hear this song, it makes me want to dance. It’s a staple in our DJ sets. The groove and melody is undeniable, with that effortlessness that all great West African music tends to deliver. I will listen to this song till I leave this earth.”
