Hi y’all 🤭
It me… again… many, many months later.
This week, I came to the realization in my old stomping grounds (Dolores Park), that long-form email content is out, and short-form is in… for me.
Way easier for me to execute, and way more digestible for the reader.
Me, in Dolores this week:
Maaajor shout-out to the groom-and-bride-2-B Andrew & KT for encouraging “just 2 to 3 song recs per week” because that’s way more doable than a long-ass email and playlist that only really works for the stans living in Los Angeles who have hour-long drives everywhere.
Moving forward, the Wybrations playlist will feature only 30 of my top songs atm. This newsletter will feature a few songs I want to draw your attention to that week…
PADAM PADAM - Kylie Minogue
I know all the gays reading this have been streaming nonstop since last Friday, but it must be said anyway: This lead single is the song of the summer. It debuted at #26 on the Official Singles Chart and is the #1-selling single in the UK this week. Will it become big in America too? My bet is once Noah Beck starts using it on TikTok, it’s gonna skyrocket to Official Song of the Summer status. Please watch this space.
Pandemic: OUT
Padam: IN
MAMA’S EYES - METTE
You probably don’t know METTE’s music (she’s released 2 songs since 2021), but you’ve probably seen her before (she starred in Rihanna’s Lemon 2017 mv dancing the house down). It’s my favorite song I’ve discovered this year—it's already gained 1M streams in the last month on Spotify, currently at 1.4M—and deserves your attention this week. Barry Can’t Swim also just released a remix to it that I’ll be ferociously playing on aux if I have a fun Lyft driver this weekend.
That’s all for today. Happy Succession Finale / Memorial Day weekend.
Xo. 😘
