Today we’re excited to spotlight what might just be the release of the weekend—and possibly the release of the summer: “East Coast Summers” by Kaleb Cohen. A native of Madison, Connecticut, Cohen may have some first-hand expertise on what an East Coast summer really feels like, and that authenticity bleeds through every note of the track.
Cohen first began turning heads online with a series of standout covers, but it was an acoustic snippet of “East Coast Summers” that truly set things in motion—going viral across TikTok and Instagram reels and sparking massive anticipation for the full version.
Now that it’s here, the track does not disappoint. With a contagious, singalong-ready melody and bright, feel-good production, “East Coast Summers” is a certified smash from the first note. The pacing and build are masterful, with each twist adding new energy, while Cohen’s ethereal vocal range seals the deal. This isn’t just a song—it’s a soundtrack to the season.
It was only a matter of time before Cohen had a breakout moment like this. With all the momentum in the world, we’re confident he’s just getting started.
