So like, I kinda felt like doing this again. Similar to the other times, the list primarily consists of slow tempo/ambient tunes and/or albums that are generally relaxing in tone and feel. Some can be melancholic but peaceful at the same time. If that's not your thing then that's cool, but I obviously encourage you to give some stuff a shot anyway! Like before, there is a fair amount of newer/2016 stuff thrown in. The list is in alphabetical order and I'll link you a bandcamp/youtube stream if there is one. I'll also let you know if the album is cheap or *name your price.* If any links do not work, please let me know!
Vanilla's High Life is one of my fav summer happy jams. Sweet Talk is good too, all 3 of the 'soul trilogy' albums are but High Life is def my favourite.
"which ones would you recommend for the jazzier sound?"
Vanilla has never been that jazz-influenced from what I've heard. I'd rec the soul albums anyway as they're considerably better than anything else I've heard from him (I thought his latest album was boring af). High Life and Soft Focus are his two most popular albums, High Life being the best for me.
