I absolutely live for the summertime, y’all. Spring is too pollen-y, winter is too depressing, and fall is depressing because it’s right before winter. But the summer, though? Bring on the humidity. That’s when I come into my power.
The theme of this summer’s playlist is lazy hot girl summer, as inspired by the immaculate lover from Janelle Monae’s “Lipstick Lover” music video (pictured above). I wanted it to sound like sand on your skin, the waning hours of a cookout, day drinking with your crush. There’s a lot of Kaytranada. There’s a normal amount of Jorja Smith. There’s more Busta Rhymes features than I expected, actually. The girlies with Taurus placements will love it most, I suspect.
