For Kola, this summer is all about embracing the simple things. “Being outside and enjoying warm weather with loved ones,” she tells GRAZIA USA on what she’s looking forward to most. “I think we have all come to appreciate outside time and social gatherings a bit more.”

In addition to her must-play line-up, there’s one song that always reminds her of the season: “‘Summertime’ by Will Smith because of the title, but also because it’s a summer feel good vibe with lyrics that match.”

Make the most of the long weekend and press play.
