That Summer by Alex Mather is a song that captures the carefree nature of newfound love. The strings make for a smooth entry for the song. The vocals on this track has a gushing quality to it that floods your senses and has you hooked.  

The entire song is an adorable love story of a high school summer love that fell apart because life eventually took over. The song has a pop-country tone to it, a formula well-received by audiences across the board. Taylor Swift did it, Shania Twain did it and Lil Nas is now doing it. Alex brings those two worlds together seamlessly.  The number is an upbeat, fast-paced number that has you on your feet and pulling your partner in for a dance. It invokes such nostalgia.

Sweet Home Alabama is a southern love story that exudes rom-com energy right from the start. It does get sexist here and there but hey! It was the early 2000s and Weinstein was still getting invited to parties back then. Our leads go from lovers to haters then back to lovers again. All this I crisply and seamlessly packed into a 01:48mins watch. It’s nostalgic, it’s funny and it’s gripping. Alex’s That Summer is tailor-made just to be added to the film. It can be used in flashbacks or when they begin to fall in love with each other again and it would do its job remarkably well. 

That Summer’s got an infectious tune that will have you grooving to it in no time. Alex Mather does a seamless job with the production. The pop summer number grabs your attention with either its bubbling beats or the story within the song or both. Either way you won’t be able to get away from this welcomed ear-worm.
