I decided to make my summer 2011 playlist in two parts because the summer is three months long and in those three months, my tastes and vibes change. A lot. Plus, I don't like it when playlists are ultra long. I like them short and sweet.
Subtle Sexuality Part 1 was sort of in your face, look at me I'm a literal summer playlist with poppy songs and chill out songs perfect for the most cliché thing to do during June/July/August: go to the beach. Part 2 is for what happens after you return from the beach and are all sunburn and your skin is rough and thick from the wind, sun, sand and salt water. You're tired and warm and your hair is all a mess and tied up into a bun. You're still wearing your bathing suit but have thrown some shorts and a racer back tank on and are just ready to wind down. That's when you reach for these songs whilst you watch the sun go down and take in the ocean side from a different point of view.
The link below is located within Spotify, so if you don't have an account you won't be able to open up the playlist. Spotify is now open to the United States for those of you who don't know (this was just recently). It's a great place to share music and make loads of playlists. Also, the best feature, you can listen to any song at any time and it's in it's full form. No 1 minute sample like on iTunes.
