Missy Elliott – WTF
WELL. Isn’t THIS a banger! This song is just so good. Sorry, I know I’m a writer and I’m supposed to use better adjectives than that, but there’s no other way to describe it really…it’s just SO. GOOD. Ultra-modern, totes original, she hits every beat, and every single hook is infectious! I danced to it at least ten times over the weekend. Then had sex to it. Then ate an egg & cress sandwich to it. Then did all three at the same time to it. And it’s playing right now in the office as I write this *WHITE BOY YAAAAS*
Mykki Blanco – Coke White Starlight
There was a moment last year when Mykki Blanco announced he was quitting music to become an investigative journalist. Which would have been amazing. Him standing outside the House of Commons with a microphone, wearing jogging bottoms and a fascinator. But it didn’t happen in the end, and he’s BACK, with new single ‘Coke White, Starlight’ and new album C-ORE. The song is contentious, gorgeous and slightly terrifying. Not unlike him. Mykki Blanco is fucking insane and fucking amazing. If you haven’t heard of him, Google him immediately. Or go to his Instagram and pack a lunch.
Rich White Ladies – Love For The Week
Now, Rich White Ladies are our people. And by “our people”, I don’t mean a bunch of gays writing about East Bloc (which is what WE are). I mean they’re our PEOPLE. Like, they’d be a right laugh on a night out. Or trailing around Brick Lane looking for vintage bargains on a Sunday afternoon. Or on the back seat of the N55 swigging from a bottle of rosé. They’re total huns. They’re known for cult hip-hop stomper ‘Wimbledon’ they released a couple of years ago (“servin’ face while I’m servin’ an ACE.”) Now they’ve been signed, and released ‘Love For The Week’, which is super-sassy and super-sexy. Love you girls, hit me up when you’re next in London and we’ll go for a basic bitch night out.
