THE BUNGALOW: The 2026 Summer Playlist

 

Tis the season to plug into some new tunes to bring wherever you're going. 

While Madonna's Confessions II is poised to be the perfect soundtrack for the drive to Palm Springs this 4th of July, I'll make due with "Bring Your Love" and "Love Sensation." And of course, I'm throwing in a throwback (Corona's "Rhythm of the Night"), thanks to its inclusion in the stellar fourth episode of Apple TV's Widow's Bay, my favorite new show of 2026.

As for the rest? Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran, MUNA, Gaga, Sombr, Demi Lovato...they're all accounted for.
