‘Summer Love’: Your 2025 Summer Soundtrack

“Summer Love” is a breezy, pop-infused blues-rock single that captures the fleeting thrill of a seasonal romance. Featuring crisp handclaps, driving guitar grooves, and Joanne’s heartfelt delivery, the track evokes open roads and sunlit memories. “What’s to say, let’s call it what it is / It’ll almost be easy, getting over this,” she sings, blending wistful lyrics with an upbeat, windows-down energy.

“I wanted to write a summer pop single that feels like your favorite radio hit,” says Joanne Shaw Taylor. “Driving through Tennessee, I imagined a song that sparks joy and triggers happy memories years later. I hope ‘Summer Love’ becomes that for someone.”

This new single 2025 is a departure from Joanne’s raw blues roots, embracing a modern blues-rock sound that channels Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt, and Susan Tedeschi. The accompanying “Summer Love” music video, shot in Tennessee’s rolling hills, brings the song’s carefree spirit to life with vibrant visuals of Joanne cruising in a vintage convertible.
