As months turn to days to the countdown of summer: knees begin to shake, palms gather sweat and artists get their boxing gloves on and enter the ring to compete to be ‘The Summer Album.’ Look forward to the glistening summer with these releases, which are dumbed-down for easy consumption.

June 6: 

• • Addison by Addison Rae: After four hypnotic pop singles, Rae delivers ‘90s trip-hop Madonna on “Headphones” to 2015 alt-R&B “High Fashion.” Rae’s debut release is definitely for the girls. 

• Lotus by Little Simz: Simz’ single “Free” promotes love as a divine power, and “Flood” shines the other side of the same coin: “Keep me away from the Devil’s palm,” sings featured artist Obongjayar over tribal drums. 

June 13: 

• DGTL ANML by LSDXOXO: Serving off-the-wall sexy club lyrics in his singles, DGTL ANML is full of collaborations from brat’s Shygirl to Challengers [Mixed] Boys Noise and is expected to make a night of summer clubbing never end. 

June 20:

• I Quit by HAIM: The American rock band returns after five years and cooked up smashing lead singles meant for a thought girl’s groovy-yet-introspective summer. 

• Infinity Club II by BAMBII: drawing from the Caribbean, dancehall and deep electronic, BAMBII’s sophomore creation will be sure to make the summer 1,000 times hotter. 

June 27: 

• Virgin by Lorde: After being shut down by the NYPD for playing her new single “What Was That,” Lorde announced the release of her fourth album, followed up with a tour featuring a serene squad consisting of Blood Orange, Nilüfer Yanya, Oklou and more. 

To Be Announced:

• The Right Person Will Stay by Lana Del Rey: “I think it’ll be pleasant to listen to her new album. I will be putting on a little linen dress and some boots and going to a farm,” said senior Zelda Zamora-Villa.
