Roséwave is a feeling more than a singular sound or genre. It’s the kind of sweetness and sadness that underscores the long, languid days of summer.  Long drives with old friends, watching your kids at the pool, backyard barbecues while the sun slowly sets.  On this episode we share a mix of songs that offer the perfect soundtrack for your roséwave days and nights, from Linda Ronstadt’s “How Do I Make You” and Marvin Gaye’s “Ain’t That Peculiar,” to Katie Gavin’s “Aftertaste,” Waxahatchee’s “Much Ado About Nothing” and more.NPR Music’s Lars Gotrich and contributor Marissa Lorusso join host Robin Hilton.(00:00) Intro and “Summertime, Summertime” by The Jamies(01:57) Wednesday: "Elderberry Wine"(04:34) The Lijadu Sisters: "Come on Home"(07:35) Katie Gavin: "Aftertaste”(12:17) Marvin Gaye: "Ain't That Peculiar"(15:46) Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra: “Gayane Ballet Suite: Adagio”(17:02) Haku.: "Looking Through My Subtle Double Eyelids"(19:46) Labi Siffre: "My Song"(22:45) Azymuth: "Faça de Conta"(25:09) Waxahatchee: "Much Ado About Nothing"(27:35) Linda Ronstadt: "How Do I Make You"(30:29) Addison Rae: "Diet Pepsi," from 'Addison'(34:56) Amerie: "Why Don't We Fall in Love"Reviews help!  Leave us one on Apple or Spotify wherever you listen to podcasts. Questions, comments, suggestions or feedback of any kind always welcome: allsongs@npr.orgNote: A version of this episode originally ran in July 2025.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy
