Mitski, “Love Me More”, 2022, USA
There’s such desperation, so much wanting, it sounds like we’re listening to a confession. Raw emotion wrapped in a perfect 80s-pop-song package. What a song.

Cate Le Bon, "Moderation", Wales, 2021

I quit the earth

And the fruit of it all"

Sabrina Carpenter, “Espresso”, 2024
A fun, frothy song of the summer. My favorite bit is the wordplay - seems frivolous but is so hard to do well!
“That’s that me espresso”
“Walked in and dream-came-trued it for ya”
“My give-a-fucks are on vacation”

My cab driver in Arkansas was a Bush-McCain-Romney-Trump-Trump-Trump voter. He said he hadn't given much thought to the 2028 election, but that if Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor of New York, the Democrats can kiss his vote goodbye.
