As summer comes to an end and freckles start to fade, all we have left are the glorified memories from the summers of years gone by to remind us that it can be sunny in England. For Simone Casarotti (found on Spotify under the artist name Simonë) cantaloupe is both the taste of summers past and the title of his sophomore single.

Recollecting and reframing the Italian summers of his youth, this seventies inspired anthem could have been lifted straight from the soundtrack of Call Me By Your Name. Idealising Simone’s life before he came out of the closet at the age of 20, this track is a slice of indie-pop romanticisation featuring tales of late-night parties and the stories from his father’s youth. Perfectly engineered to draw you in and get your body moving, the production silences a crowd in reverence for Simone’s smooth vocals, guitar and synths.

An earworm in every sense, Simone Casarotti orchestrates an insatiable, rose-tinted version of summer which you will not be able to get enough of.
