From Drake to Lorde, these are the songs guaranteed to soundtrack the next few months.

By this point, pretty much every contender for 2017’s sound of the summer has been released.

But ‘Passionfruit’ is the obvious standout, a song so tailored for summer it practically turns up in a dodgy Hawaiian shirt with a four-pack of Corona in one hand, beachball in the other.
