Hello, Music Club and disco lovers! Excited to participate for the first time.
Lindsay, I am obviously so happy you mentioned “Yo Perreo Sola”—I don’t think anyone imagined how startlingly prescient that song was when we started blasting it after
YHLQMDLG’s surprise release, but I know it definitely fueled some late-night, solitary kitchen dancing across the country (and the fact that Ivy Queen is on the remix brings me nothing but unbridled joy). I absolutely loved Charli XCX’s
, too. Apart from solo dance sessions, I did a lot of masked running through Brooklyn over the summer, and the dark bliss of “Forever” and “Claws” powered me for miles. I’m kind of new to a lot of Brooklyn—I moved here after almost four years in Berlin just before the pandemic—so I’ll always associate Charli’s quarantine bops with my rare moments outside, trying to get the lay of the somewhat deserted land.
