June just became our favorite month ever, and it has Beyoncé to thank. Oueen Bey has curated an 18-track playlist as an ode to her favorite artists born this month. "Enjoy this playlist in celebration of some of the great musical talents born in the month of June!" she wrote on her website. Enjoy it we will, along with add DJ to her ever-growing list of talents.
The playlist begins with Prince's recent jam, "Breakfast Can Wait," an ode to morning sex that's a worthy counterpart to her and Jay Z's "Drunk in Love." Naturally, there are more amorous ballads where that came with Lionel Richie's "All Night Long," and Faith Evan's "Soon As I Get Home." The set also features a slew of our favorite artists of today including Kanye West, Lana Del Rey, Kendrick Lamar, Iggy Azalea, and Ariana Grande. And proving that elevatorgate couldn't be further behind them, Bey wants you to get down to Solange's dreamy number "Lovers In The Parking Lot."
Listen to the entire playlist, below:
Lauren is the former beauty editor at Marie Claire. She love to while away the hours at coffee shops, hunt for vintage clothes, and bask in the rough-and-tumble beauty of NYC. She firmly believes that solitude can be a luxury if you’ve got the right soundtrack—that being the Rolling Stones, of course.
