Ivy Hall - Peoria

Ivy Hall dispensaries stands at the forefront of the cannabis industry in Illinois, not merely as places to purchase cannabis but as pillars of progress, education, and community engagement. Their distinction stems from being among the first recreational cannabis dispensaries to receive a social equity license from the state, a testament to their dedication to inclusivity, social justice, and economic empowerment.

A Commitment to Social Equity: Ivy Hall's achievement in obtaining a social equity license is a significant milestone. This status is more than just a title; it's an embodiment of Ivy Hall's commitment to rectifying the historical injustices associated with cannabis prohibition. By prioritizing hiring from communities that have been disproportionately impacted by past cannabis laws and investing in minority-owned businesses, Ivy Hall is paving the way for a more equitable future in the cannabis industry.

Unparalleled Safety Protocols: At each Ivy Hall location, from the vibrant streets of Logan Square to the serene settings of Crystal Lake, safety is of utmost importance. Ivy Hall has implemented unmatched safety protocols to ensure that every patron's visit is secure and comfortable, allowing them to explore and enjoy the vast world of cannabis without concern.

Personalized Customer Experience: What truly sets Ivy Hall apart is its personalized approach to customer service. Knowledgeable staff engage with each visitor to understand their preferences and needs, guiding them through an extensive selection of products with tailored recommendations. This level of care ensures that every individual's experience is unique, fostering a welcoming atmosphere that encourages exploration and discovery.

An Oasis of Cannabis Education: Ivy Hall's commitment to cannabis education is evident in every aspect of its operations. From hosting community events and educational workshops to providing comprehensive resources and one-on-one consultations, Ivy Hall endeavors to demystify cannabis. They empower individuals with the knowledge they need to make informed choices about their wellness, showcasing the therapeutic benefits of cannabis and navigating the nuances of its responsible use.

Innovative Sensory Dispensary Experience: Especially noteworthy is the sensory dispensary experience offered, a concept that treats cannabis purchasing as an immersive, end-to-end experience. Here, customers are invited into a world of sensory delights, where interactive displays and carefully curated environments enhance the shopping experience, making it a memorable visit every time.

Supporting Local and Minority-Owned Businesses: Ivy Hall's commitment to social equity extends to its support for local, women-, and minority-owned businesses. By sourcing products and collaborating with these enterprises, Ivy Hall not only enriches its product offerings but also contributes directly to an economic cycle that uplifts communities and fosters diversity within the industry.

Community Engagement and Development: Beyond its retail spaces, Ivy Hall is deeply invested in community development. Through various initiatives, including supporting local events and cannabis education programs, Ivy Hall works tirelessly to integrate into and uplift the communities it serves. This commitment to community engagement solidifies Ivy Hall's role as a catalyst for positive change, far beyond the walls of its dispensaries.

In essence, Ivy Hall dispensaries embody the future of the cannabis industry - one rooted in safety, personal care, education, social equity, and community engagement. They invite everyone to not only explore the vast potentials of cannabis but also to be part of a broader movement towards inclusivity, knowledge, and social responsibility.

Not me in the trenches defending Harry’s win all over social media (with kindness of course). But man, people’s upset is misdirected, as always. We know the academy is infamous for snubbing, but I bet that half the people complaining about him winning haven’t even heard Harry’s House.

Imagine giving people HIT AFTER HIT AFTER HIT? Like the whole album is no skips! The production value was clearly the greatest because they won those categories too! His music is always so fun while his lyrics are addressing his issues but somehow he’s also making it about global issues? Like how he does that IDK, but man…people are going to be CHASING AFTER WHAT HE & HIS TEAM DID WITH HARRY’S HOUSE! Like it is an un-replicatable piece of work!

I think out of all the nominees Harry was definitely the underdog in the category, but he was a serious contender for a reason and as much as I wanted Benito to win for the Latino’s and because Un Verano Sin Ti was 😮‍💨. Harry was nominated because he deserved a win AND FUCKING WON IT! Idk why people can’t just disagree and live on respectfully. It’s just so unnecessary to crap all over someone else’s hard work and success!

Un viaje en el tiempo a la España analógica de la peseta

Médico de familia, mítica serie que emitió Telecinco entre 1995 y 1999, está disponible en streaming desde el 21 de julio. Sus 119 capítulos, distribuidos en 9 temporadas, se han incorporado al catálogo de Netflix. Al aflorar en ese apabullante menú aprovechando el verano, hemos empezado a verla en casa con la pequeña Rebeca, nacida en 2014. Dos temporadas después —teniendo en cuenta que en su momento no fui fiel seguidor de esta comedia dramática—, he alcanzado algunas conclusiones preliminares.

Habrá quienes, invadidos por la pereza y poco inclinados a la nostalgia, se pregunten para qué sirve ver una serie que tiene casi 30 años —el lapso de una generación—. Pues sí que sirve. La utilidad más importante, que observo en mi hija, es mostrar a quienes no conocieron aquella época cómo era la sociedad de entonces: valiosa enseñanza. También es un sensor retrospectivo del papel que tuvo el audiovisual de los 90 como agente de cambios que han ido cuajando y haciéndonos, en general, mejores. O, al menos, trasladándonos aceleradamente a la (pos)modernidad. En definitiva, es un documento muy valioso, repleto de información. El retrato de una época.

En 1995 se cumplían 20 años de la muerte de Franco, inicio de la Transición a la democracia. Y 9 de la entrada de España en la Comunidad Económica Europea (CEE), hoy Unión Europea (UE). El monopolio de la televisión pública se había roto en 1990, solo un lustro antes. Aún nos duraba la resaca de los fastos de 1992 —Juegos Olímpicos de Barcelona y Exposición Universal de Sevilla—, que construyeron una nueva marca España pero dieron paso a una crisis económica que elevó el desempleo al 24%. Es precisamente en 1995 cuando se inicia la recuperación: estaba terminando la etapa de Felipe González al frente el Gobierno (1982-1996) y poco después comenzaría la de José María Aznar (1996-2004). Sin entrar en mayores profundidades, ver Médico de familia en 2023 supone hacer un viaje en el tiempo a la España analógica de la peseta —el euro no fue una realidad hasta 1999 y llegó en efectivo a nuestros bolsillos en 2002–.

Aquella España era otro país porque aquel mundo era otro planeta. La televisión, abuela electrónica, funcionaba como pantalla colectiva, no personal, se veía en familia y tenía culo; no había smartphones, empezaban a generalizarse los celulares, pero limitados a voz y SMS; la conversación pública no estaba en Internet, entonces incipiente, sino que la vertebraban los medios de comunicación; las marcas blancas no dominaban la cesta de la compra, como veremos más adelante al hablar de product placement; apenas había inmigración extranjera, las grandes ciudades continuaban drenando población nacional de los entornos rurales en vaciamiento. Era otro mundo en el que se fumaba hasta en los centros de salud —verlo ahora hiere la sensibilidad de cualquiera—, el machismo empezaba a desactivarse —pese a sus omnipresentes trazas—, el Estado del Bienestar —las pensiones, la sanidad y la educación públicas— se extendía tras lograrse conciencia sobre la necesidad de pagar impuestos —el IRPF entró en vigor en 1978 con el eslogan “Hacienda somos todos”—. No es exagerado hablar de otro país, de verdad que no lo es. Parafraseando a Alfonso Guerra, a aquella España hoy no la conoce ni la madre que la parió. La transformación, aunque haya aspectos mejorables, ha sido notabilísima, drástica, ejemplar.

Médico de familia, producida por Globomedia, creada por Daniel Écija y Emilio Aragón, sumó una audiencia media de 7,7 millones de espectadores, rozando el 44% de cuota de pantalla, datos que hoy, en el nuevo paradigma televisivo, son inalcanzables para una ficción. El último capítulo de la quinta temporada, por razones que omito para no destripar la trama, se quedó cerca de los 11 millones y el 60%: la tensión sexual entre Nacho y Alicia dio para mucho, y hasta aquí puedo leer (cuidado con los enlaces si no sabes de qué va y quieres evitar spoilers).

Llaman la atención, para mal, el tabaco por doquier, la abundante bollería industrial a todas horas, la fruta y la verdura como atrezo, los eternos tópicos territoriales clasistas sobre Andalucía encarnados en Juani —atribulada empleada doméstica de acento forzado y jornada infinita—, escenas en el coche sin cinturón de seguridad —obligatorio desde 1975 en las plazas delanteras y desde 1992, también en las traseras—, comentarios sexistas que hoy consideramos censurables —y entonces ya eran inapropiados, seamos claros—, la promoción de la homeopatía —chirriante placebo— mediante carteles colgados en el centro de salud y cierto menosprecio condescendiente hacia la homosexualidad, por citar lo más granado. Pero hay cuestiones, lo apuntábamos al principio, en las que esta serie actuó como agente del cambio. Llama la atención, para bien, el tratamiento del sida, la drogadicción en general y el alcoholismo en particular, la depresión, la violencia de género, el sexo no consentido, los embarazos adolescentes o la erradicación del edadismo, personificada en el abuelo Manolo, que se propone vivir a gusto hasta el final de sus días una vez jubilado tras décadas de cotización en la Renfe.

¿Que la serie encierra una moral subyacente tipo Disney prewoke?, pregunto retóricamente adelantándome a los prejuicios de quienes censuran el debatible heteropatriarcado occidental pero toleran el machismo en otras latitudes amparados en la doctrina de la diversidad cuqui, qué inmensa contradicción. Podemos —escojo el verbo— buscarle tres pies al gato, pero no parece que las fisuras merezcan una reprobación. Si hay un sustrato en Médico de familia es la sublimación, el propio título lo asume, de la familia tradicional. Con los años, la misma factoría le dio una vuelta de tuerca al asunto y produjo Los Serrano, que normalizaba la fusión de las familias —en plural—, superada la familia monolítica, en una España aún más (pos)moderna, asomada al siglo XXI sin complejos desde la atalaya de Europa.

Médico de familia, antes de que Mercadona impusiera las marcas blancas, nos colaba productos emblemáticos: el jersey Lacoste —preferentemente a lo Nachete, anudado a los hombros, un canon caducado que dio pie a muchos chistes—, la leche Puleva, el tomate Orlando, las cervezas Buckler y Águila Amstel bebidas en lata por Julio e Hipólito, los bollos Donuts y Bollycao entre la cocina y el patio del colegio, el pan de molde Panrico, la margarina Artua o el aceite de oliva Koipe. La Coca Cola y otros refrescos, por supuesto todos azucaradísimos, aparecían desnudos, pues no había patrocinador que justificara etiquetas en prime time. La ranchera 21 Nevada, pagara o no Renault, permanecía expuesta en la puerta del chalé adosado al servicio de los planos de recurso.

Vista con ojos de 2023, Médico de familia nos recuerda que el streaming ha diluido la cultura mainstream. Que nos falta pegamento social, aquí y en otros espacios desarrollados —en eso, me temo, iremos degenerando—. Que las audiencias se han atomizado y no quedan productos que reúnan a la familia. Que el mundo ha cambiado y España es otra, aunque bastante mejor al cabo. Tener esta serie en el catálogo de Netflix es pedagógico porque nos enseña cómo hemos cambiado, qué lejos ha quedado aquel país que avanzaba sacudiéndose la caspa y aspirando a estándares internacionales que hoy cumple sobradamente. Verla por vez primera o revisarla es un ejercicio tremendamente interesante. Aunque no garantizo continuar ni terminarla una vez acabado el verano. Pero ahí quedan las conclusiones preliminares, ea.

Music asks! 1, 2, 8, 17, 27, 38, 54, 56, 92, and 106!

Thank you, Ash!! Sorry it’s taken me forever to respond. I’m just very indecisive (despite asking for these questions, ha).

When I’m saying favorite for any of these questions, it can change day to day or even mood to mood, so I’ll just pick two or three that come to mind for most. 😅

1. What is your favorite album?

I will admit that with streaming, I don’t typically listen to most albums in full beyond maybe 3-5 times.

But since I saw them in concert recently, I’ll say, I’ve been listening to The Head on the Door by The Cure.

But the real forever answer is Shrek 2: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

2. What is your favorite artist?

It may currently be Angel Olsen and Sharon Van Etten.

8. What is your favorite concept album?

Look, I know it’s a big one, but it’s gotta be Ziggy Stardust by David Bowie. 

17. Favorite song right now?

Favorite might not be right, but ones I’m listening to non-stop lately: Vampire by Olivia Rodrigo, Immigraniada (We Comin' Rougher) by Gogol Bordello, and Mermaids by Florence + The Machine

27. What is your favorite album that is not sung in your mother tongue?

Ooh, while I listen to many songs that aren’t in English (especially French and Croatian), I feel like I can almost count the number of full albums on my fingers (that aren’t associated with movie soundtracks).

Un verano sin ti by Bad Bunny G***y Kings by G***y Kings (given the name, I want to add that their parents mostly are Romani from Spain) Tous les garçons et les filles by Françoise Hardy

It has been years since I’ve listened to it, but I’m also going to put Rebecca: The Musical in German (Vienna production). We were robbed of a Broadway production. Hoping the London version this year leads to that.

38. Good song for writing

I admittedly make a lot of playlists for things that I’m writing but mostly play instrumental music while I write because it can be hard to tune it out, and I don’t want to be distracted.

But also things are so dependent on vibe?

Instrumental: Shape of Water by Alexander Desplat, Comptine d’un autre été by Yann Tiersen, and Drive My Car by Eiko Ishibashi

Non-Instrumental: Hounds of Love by Kate Bush, Shadow by Chromatics, and Sorry Not Sorry by Tyler, The Creator

54. Song you recommend

For you specifically (if you don’t know them already): A Better Son/Daughter by Rilo Kiley, ale Bien Qui Fait Mal by Mozart l’Opera Rock, and Androgynous by The Replacements

For people who may randomly be reading this whose taste I am less familiar with: Easy On Your Own? by Alvvays, Sun Bleached Flies by Ethel Cain (for the uninitiated), and Hot Knife by Fiona Apple

56. Underrated song

I have a bad sense of how popular things actually are, so I’ll just list songs I wish had more recognition that I’ve been listening to this year:

Body by 070 Shake and Christine and the Queens Young Lover by St. Vincent Leather by Tori Amos

92. Which album(s) would you wish to see performed live front to back?

Not possible but:

Blue Weekend by Wolf Alice I Put A Spell On You by Nina Simone Lion and the Cobra by Sinéad O’Connor (😭)

106. Which musicians would you wish to teach you an instrument?

St. Vincent and Mitski can teach me guitar. Kim Deal could teach me bass. They’re all the best at what they do, but also my gay self would thrive.

Send me music asks.

[caifanes]

i was tagged by sab @dahliaaz to list my top 9 albums of 2022 so here it is!

1. Faith in the Future by Louis Tomlinson

ok so it would be sacrilegious if i didn’t have this as my no.1 with this url so here she is! I wasn’t sure what louis was gonna do for lt2 but this was such a pleasant surprise! no skips but my fav song is only on a specific version of the album 💔

2. Un Verano Sin Ti by Bad Bunny

i had this on repeat for MONTHS. i’m a huge fan of raggaeton and urbano etc, and benito just does it so good. he explores many areas of latam music and one song might have 3 distinct parts to it, each being amazing

3. Slow Up by Meyru

so i loved this bands debut and they just kinda did a similar thing for their second and i love it! it’s a little sad, very pathetic, but altogether relaxing. my indie blorbos

4. Traumazine by Megan Thee Stallion

megaaaaan. i’ll listen to anything she puts out tbh. the album was solid as were all the ones before and knowing some of the context behind the songs, i commend her for talking about what she experienced sometimes i spend a whole day listening to her entire discography, i like writing or doing hw with her in the bg cus it just puts me in a good, productive mood.

5. Dawn FM by The Weeknd

a lot of hits came out of this album and i think it was for good reason! i love the disco and funk influences. i’d say he does it better than a lot of other pop artists and i recognized a sample from the edm group Justice so that was fun <3 I also really liked the story and song transitions! i remember crying on my first listen, anything about mortality just gets me tearing up istg

6. Laurel Hell by Mitski

This was on my frequent rotation, I’m not like.. emotionally attached to her like some people are i just like her music djsksj so this and many of her older songs are a habit for me. very cathartic to sing along to and was a companion for many bus rides.

7. Dharma by Sebastian Yatra

i’ll admit i’m super biased bc i’ve been listening to him since 2014 but i really like his voice and i saw him in concert and the album is REALLY good live. also amor pasajero was my top song on this years wrapped… it’s a bop

8. Sunflower by Briston Maroney

ok i haven’t listened to this one as much as the others BUT i can count on briston for solid lyricism and indie rock musicality

9. Copia by Eluvium

this was released in 2007 but was a huge comfort to me this year when i was stressed and just didn’t want to hear words or people talking. it’s considered “ambient” but it’s way more than white noise to me! consider at least giving amreik a listen #AMREIKSWEEP

tagging: @bangthedoldrums @pinknoisemp3 @wutheringheights78 @daffodilsfortomorrow @alamedast @sunsetlesbo and anyone else who might want to do this! no pressure to do it <3

WHAT MADE A great song in 2022? Was it an irresistible beat and a sense of humor? An introspective, bittersweet dream? An absolute dance floor banger? Was it lo-fi, high-res, loud, soft, twangy, poppy, sleek, distorted, hugely anthemic, or perfectly tiny? The answer was yes — all that and more. Or maybe it was a song that imperiously declared any and all doubters to be a bunch of munches. You’ll have to listen to all 100 songs here to be sure.

Bad Bunny feat. Bomba Estereo, ‘Ojitos Lindos’

KEVIN WINTER/GETTY IMAGES

Calling Bad Bunny unpredictable is starting to feel like a cliché, but his collaboration with the Colombian electro-fusion band Bomba Estéreo was a genuine surprise — and a standout on Un Verano Sin Ti that netted him a Record of the Year nomination at the 23rd annual Latin Grammys. Produced by Tainy, the track marries the best of Bad Bunny’s laidback baritone with Li Saumet’s spunky delivery for one of summer’s most wistful tracks. Saumet told Rolling Stone that her verses came to her instantly, a process she described as “very magical.” “That’s how things come together when they come from a real place,” she added. — J.L.

Sky Ferreira, ‘Don’t Forget’

LORNE THOMSON/REDFERNS

Pop disruptor Sky Ferreira’s first single since 2019’s chaotic “Downhill Lullaby” is a colossal synth-pop anthem with a vengeful streak — “I won’t forget, I don’t forgive,” she wails on the chorus. Ferreira’s petulant alto is made for sentiments like the rancor and anger that animate “Don’t Forget”; when swirled into the echoing synth strings and overdriven guitars, it sounds even more menacing. Ferreira’s second full-length, Masochism, has been on the verge of coming out for about seven years, but if “Don’t Forget” is any indication, its eventual arrival will be a gift to the patient. — M.J.

Rema, ‘Calm Down’

REMA/YOUTUBE

Rema likes to call his spin on the Afrobeats sound “Afro-rave.” Is it much different than regular Afrobeats? Not a ton. Is it sublimely lovely all the same? Yes it is. Rema is the kind of singer who savors simple pop pleasures; the gently rolling “Calm Down” is literally about trying say hello to a girl who’s mellow and dressed in yellow, with a track that’s appropriately warm, bright, and captivating. The big-eyed wonder in Rema’s voice makes it sound like he’s the first guy ever to behold the majesty of girls or colors. — J.D.

Gunna, ‘Banking on Me’

WILL HEATH/NBC/NBCU PHOTO BANK/ GETTY IMAGES

So much of the polarizing discussion about the state of R&B hinges on the way that artists have fused the music with hip-hop — a style popularized by many others, and now embodied like no one else by Gunna. Over tender Metro Boomin production, he croons to his fantasy girl, telling her exactly why she’s his type. “Know you fuckin’ a man that’s made, hey/Keep it low-key, she ain’t after fame,” he sings on his straightforward love note. Instead of leaning on a Nineties R&B sample, he channels that energy in his own manner, stretching out over an unconventionally lengthy three-plus minutes. Released on Valentine’s Day, it’s a song that displays Gunna doing what he does best over the kind of production that allows him to do so. — A.G.

King Von and 21 Savage, ‘Don’t Play That’

KING VON/YOUTUBE

King Von’s “Don’t Play That” starts by letting the beat run for eight bars. The Kid Hazel-produced track employs the kind of electro-pop loop an indie act might license for a car commercial. But then Von subverts the mood with his characteristic menace, matter-of-factly rhyming, “I did a drill with a face mask/I wash my hand with the Ajax.” The late Chicago rhymer delves into a gritty, braggadocious verse, and 21 Savage follows up with the same. Von was known for rhyming over sinister, high-octane production, but “Don’t Play That” shows what he could do over a more palatable soundscape. His effortless delivery radiates the vibe of a burgeoning master of his craft. It’s tragic that “Don’t Play That” instead became the lead single for a posthumous album from an artist slain before his time. — A.G.

Marshmello and Tokischa, ‘Estilazo’

MARSHMELLO/YOUTUBE

Tokischa has a rare gift for provocation that’s yielded some of the most exhilaratingly unfiltered music on the planet, along with some of the worst tweets this side of the guy who made The College Dropout. On her single with the boldly behatted DJ/producer Marshmello, she pulls off one of her most stunning coups: taking a mainstream EDM beat as big and empty as they come and making it thoroughly, distinctly her own. Boasting about sex, drugs, and other pastimes over a high-gloss house vamp, she vividly renews the commitment to hedonism that underlies all great dance music. If she can make Marshmello cool, what can’t she do? — S.V.L.

Kaitlin Butts, ‘What Else Can She Do’

We’re all familiar with the sad country song about a woman stuck in a one-horse town, slinging hash in some roadside dump as she dreams of a big, wide world she’ll probably never touch. Oklahoma singer-songwriter Kaitlin Butts gives us something different; in her devastatingly sung version, the woman makes it out of Nowhereville but washes out because, “Her small-town pretty didn’t play in the city too well.” Too proud to go back home, she throws on her apron and heads out for another 12-hour shift pouring coffee for strangers. The result is a perfect shot of Red Dirt naturalism — Theodore Dreiser’s Sister Carrie by way of Kacey Musgraves’ Same Trailer, Different Park — and proof that Butts is herself deserving of much bigger things. — J.D.

Pheelz and BNXN, ‘Finesse’

PHEELZ/YOUTUBE

This was the year of stacked vocals in Afropop, in which tracks like Wizkid’s “Bad to Me” and Burna Boy’s “It’s Plenty” featured what sounded like a mass of mighty but whimsical singers. Pheelz and Bnxn’s “Finesse” came earlier, though, and used the trick to delightful effect on its carefree hook, in which the Nigerian artists throw caution and money to the wind. In March, it was one of the most Shazamed songs in the world, and deservedly so. — M.C.

42

Lizzo, ‘About Damn Time’

KEVIN WINTER/GETTY IMAGES

“I write songs about feeling confident!” Lizzo proclaimed in a Saturday Night Live sketch last April, about the time this bumping disco strut debuted. The bit was a joke, but that line wasn’t, and “About Damn Time” is the best proof possible. Lizzo has never sounded so effortlessly celebratory, and the easy groove, which samples the World’s Famous Supreme Team’s early-Eighties bubblegum jam “Hey D.J.,” fits her like a pair of faux-snakeskin boots. No wonder — co-producer Ricky Reed’s endlessly uncoiling bass line delivers a good time all by itself. — M.M.

GloRilla feat. Cardi B, ‘Tomorrow 2’

GLORILLA/YOUTUBE

GloRilla’s come up has been one of the joys of 2022, recently culminating in her breakout hit “F.N.F (Let’s Go)” earning a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Performance. It’s a particularly appropriate category for GloRilla, as part of the magic of her tracks is her raw delivery. The visceral umph that punctuates her bars on “Tomorrow 2” could make you twist your face into a grimace. Then, the gleeful venom of Cardi B’s uber-quotable verse could make you laugh in disbelief. “Long ass weave, it be ticklin’ my ass crack/Wonder what I’ll do tomorrow that these hoes will be mad at,” is one of many Cardi couplets that make her so loveable.–M.C.

FKA Twigs feat. Shygirl, ‘Papi Bones’

GAELLE BERI/REDFERNS

FKA Twigs is as celebrated for her dancing as she is for her avant-garde, experimental R&B, but it wasn’t until this year’s Caprisongs that she focused on making sweaty, beat-driven songs meant for everybody to dance to. “Papi Bones” taps into the star’s Jamaican heritage and features an excellent cameo from British DJ and artist Shygirl. The result is a sexy and fun anthem for all the “champagne bubble girls” and a perfect step forward for Twigs. “I grew up listening to Afrobeats on pirate radio stations, or when I was a teenager, at Notting Hill Carnival,” she said earlier this year. “So I really wanted to show that side of myself, and connect with who I was when I was around 16 or 17 and started seeking out music and clubs and people that represented my heritage.” — B.S.

Smino feat. J. Cole, ‘90 Proof’

SMINO/YOUTUBE

Smino and J. Cole share a penchant for unearthing the intertwined roots of hip-hop and the blues with tender melodies and concerns — and that’s why they made such an excellent duo when they reconnected for “90 Proof.” Romantic love is Smino’s central meditation on the track, backed by warm guitar and crisp drums; the kind of love that stretches and molds you into something different, maybe better. Through most of his quick but hefty verse, Cole’s cautious gloating deviates from Smino’s thematic path, but the Dreamville head takes melodic cues from the St. Louis rapper’s template. It’s some of both of their best work this year. — M.C

Seventeen, ‘Hot’

HYPE LABELS/YOUTUBE

Seventeen’s popularity grew exponentiallythis year following the release of their fourth studio album, Face the Sun. The 13-member South Korean group known for self-producing, both in songwriting and choreographing, filled the album with hits like “Cheers” and “Darling,” but “Hot,” the lead single, towers above them all. You can’t help but to “drop it like hot, hot, hot” when you hear the Wild West-inspired guitar strum that kicks off the track. — K.K.

Wizkid, ‘Bad to Me’

WIZKID/YOUTUBE

Wizkid’s tour-de-force couple of years celebrating the success of Made in Lagos and its hit single “Essence” could have made for a tough act to follow, but the Nigerian superstar took on his follow-up in stride. “Bad to Me” was the lead single off his latest album More Love, Less Ego, and it further solidifies him as the type of genre-unifying pop superstar music very much needs. The slick tune is an infectious, fun victory lap for the star — don’t be surprised if it’s heating up everyone all winter long. — B.S.

Alex G, ‘Runner’

ALEX G/YOUTUBE

One of the year’s most memorable indie songs, and an instant standout from Alex Giannascoli’s God Save the Animals, “Runner” contains lines both pure of heart (“I like people who I can open up to/Who don’t judge for what I say, but judge me for what I do”) and utterly dark (“What’s a couple grand rolled up in your pocket?/I won’t tell nobody, baby you don’t tell nobody”). Giannascoli plays every instrument on the song — including synthesizer and drums — to create a blissful, free-wheeling rocker with comforting echoes of Tom Petty. Need proof? Listen to the chorus of “Louisiana Rain” right after “Runner,” and you’ll see what we mean. — A.M.

Blackpink, “Pink Venom”

BLACKPINK/YOUTUBE

When Rosé yells, “I’m so rock & roll!,” believe the woman. Blackpink kick down the door in their summer hit “Pink Venom,” an unbelievably fun raising-hell anthem full of Eighties hair-metal glam. Even the song title sounds like the name of a tribute band playing Poison and Def Leppard covers at the sleaziest bar in town. The Blackpink queens warn you not to mess with them, because you can’t handle their “Pink Venom,” boasting in Korean and English. It peaks as Rosé sneers, “Look what you made us do,” proving that bad blood is a universal language. — R.S.

Ozzy Osbourne, ‘No Escape From Now’

CHRISTIE GOODWIN/REDFERNS

More than half a century has passed since Black Sabbath invented heavy metal as we know it, but on “No Escape From Now,” a track off Ozzy Osbourne‘s Patient Number 9 album, he and his Sabbath bandmate, guitarist Tony Iommi, have rooted themselves in the present. “Gone are the yesterdays,” Osbourne keens over Iommi’s brooding riffs, “Tomorrow’s getting cold … There’s no escape from now.” As on the best Sabbath epics (and this song stretches nearly seven minutes), the pair find a syrupy groove that evokes several grim moods, from the dark to the really dark, with help from Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and producer-bassist Andrew Watt. It’s only a partial Sabbath reunion, but it lives up to the legacy of the Iron Men. — K.G.

Karol G and Becky G, ‘Mamiii’

KEVIN MAZUR/GETTY IMAGES

A meeting of two goddesses: the Colombian pop/reggaeton queen Karol G and the L.A. pop singer Becky G. They’re not exactly in a forgiving mood. In “Mamiii,” they drag their no-good exes for one of the year’s fiercest and funniest break-up songs, choosing violence in every possible way over a lilting guitar. The stars destroy any two-legged rat of a man who ever did them wrong, and if he wants to get back in touch, he should call “1-800-jódete.” (In other words, “fuck off.”) It’s a tribute to sisterhood as well as rage, proving that both of these Gs know how to twist the knife. — R.S.

Jelly Roll, “Son of a Sinner”

JELLY ROLL/YOUTUBE

A longtime fixture of Nashville’s rap underground, Jelly Roll made a turn toward country with his latest project and revealed himself to be a great singer with a raspy tenor. Born Jason DeFord, Jelly Roll sings believably and candidly about his struggles with addiction in “Son of a Sinner,” trying to feel OK about being “somewhere in the middle” and “just a little right and wrong” instead of always squeaky-clean. It was a story of personal struggle without a tidy ending, but it turned out to be one that a lot of people understood very well. — J.F.

Oxlade, ‘Ku Lo Sa — A Colors Show’

URIVALDO LOPES* 

When Asake — the Nigerian street-pop star whose debut album seemed to have generated the biggest buzz of the year — told his friend and peer Oxlade that he had a hit on his hands in “Ku Lo Sa,” the singer was skeptical. Asake was one of the first people to hear the song that would soon go global, and knew its tender pleas, pointed hook, and delicate rhythm were irresistible. “He was like ‘Yo, the song is going to go crazy,’” Oxlade told Rolling Stone. “‘I was like, ‘Ehh, every song, everybody says it’s going to go crazy.’” Over 150 million streams later, it looks like Asake was right. — M.C.

Earl Sweatshirt, ‘2010’

EARL SWEATSHIRT/YOUTUBE

“I’ma need a bigger bag for the cohort,” begins Earl Sweatshirt on “2010.” The former Odd Future rapper has evolved into one of the genre’s great abstract artists, depicting his all-too-public life in poetic yet incisive terms. Over a tickling keyboard beat from Black Noi$e that sounds like a light sprinkling rain, Earl remembers a youth spent with his mother “rockin’ Liz Claiborne” and recaps a journey of “triumph over plight and immense loss.” The wordplay may not be easy to decode. But the imagery he conjures, thanks to lines like “rainy day came, couldn’t rinse the stains off,” will resonate with anyone. — M.R.

Omar Apollo, ‘Evergreen’

CHRISTINA HOUSE/LOS ANGELES TIMES/GETTY IMAGES

Love triangles are brutal; being the side that’s cast out when the two others form a line is pure agony. That’s the cruelty that Omar Apollo excavates on “Evergreen,” as teardrop guitar licks spill against the soft edges of his falsetto. Apollo packs it all in there — anger, anguish, self-loathing, doubt — but still builds to a bridge bursting with defiant confidence: “You know you really made me hate myself/Had to stop before I break myself/Shoulda broke it off to date myself.” Apollo has always excelled at these kinds of songs, and it’s thrilling that such a superb display of his skills has finally scored him a well-deserved place on the charts and the broader pop ecosystem. — J.

Muna, ‘Home By Now’

CHELSEA GUGLIELMINO/FILMMAGIC

Muna have a  reputation for not giving a fuck. But “Home By Now,” the highlight of their self-titled album, is a surprising pop lament placed amid brash confessionals. The narrator of this song is unsteady on their feet, but they’re not so much desperate for a doomed relationship, as they are reaching for the feeling of shelter, a place to rest. The song acts as a much-needed momentary retrospective in an otherwise future-forward album, and it adds to the queer themes richly embedded in Muna’s work. “Home By Now” is reminiscent.  It’s longing. It’s the feeling of driving in a tunnel with the windows down— recalled long after the car is parked. — C.T.J.

Asake feat. Burna Boy, ‘Sungba (Remix)’

ASAKE/YOUTUBE

It’s a little wild to think that Asake’s current reign as Nigerian pop’s streaming record-breaker only began this year. Within one month of the release of “Sungba,” from his debut EP, a remix and video with Burna Boy made the already-formidable track a powerhouse — Burna even performed it solo at his history-making Madison Square Garden show, sending the audience into an uproar. An electric meeting of the South African house sound amapiano and Nigerian flows, the “Sungba” remix demonstrated the strength of Asake’s sound, and he hasn’t let up since. — M.C.

Midland, ‘The Last Resort’

MIDLAND/YOUTUBE

Move over the Eagles’ “The Last Resort,” there’s a new “The Last Resort” in town. This great Midland song is more proof that Nashville has become America’s leading soft-rock exporter (c’mon, L.A., this is supposed to be your thing). It’s top-shelf Buffett-core, a smooth, heartbroken ballad from the saddest bar on the beach, with steel guitars coming down like a tequila sunset. Midland sing about going down the coast, chasing a case of the blues as big as the ocean, and it goes down so well because, deep down, the dude in this song isn’t some self-pitying bum — dude knows, it’s his own damn fault. — J.D.

Sam Smith and Kim Petras, ‘Unholy’

SAM SMITH/YOUTUBE

If Sam Smith planned to come back with a bang after their 2020 LP Love Goes, “Unholy” proved to be the perfect song with which to do so with. Accompanied by the sass of trans pop star Kim Petras, Smith “threw out the rule book” and stepped away from his signature ballad sound to create a catchy, dirty song about a “daddy getting hot at the body shop” behind mummy’s back. The sexy banger quickly skyrocketed on the charts, making Petras and Smith the first trans and nonbinary artists to reach Number One on the Billboard Hot 100.–T.M.

NewJeans, ‘Hype Boy’

HYPE LABLES/YOUTUBE

With its addictive choreography and catchy chorus — “‘Cause I know what you like, boy/You’re my chemical, hype boy” — this was a standout from NewJeans’ hit-filled first EP. “Hype Boy” lets each member’s voice really shine through, and Hanni notably contributed to the cute lyrics that encapsulate young love (“got me chasing a daydream”). NewJeans’ peers and seniors in the K-pop industry, like Stray Kids, StayC, Twice, and even JYP are still covering the “Hype Boy” dance at events and concerts. RM of BTS was also recently captured singing and dancing along to a recent performance. It’s the kind of phenomenon that makes it clear NewJeans have hit on something special. — K.K.

Carly Rae Jepsen & Rufus Wainwright, ‘The Loneliest Time’

CARLY RAE JEPSEN/YOUTUBE

Carly Rae Jepsen always knows how to find the emotional core of any glossy pop confection, and her wonderful team-up with Rufus Wainwright ranks right up there with her finest moments.  “The Loneliest Time” is a classic disco duet about two old lovers breaking free from a breakup of Shakespearean proportions to get right back where they started from, with Rufus and Carly sharing a chemistry on the level of Stevie Nicks and Kenny Loggins in “Whenever I Call You ‘Friend’,” which is to say, as sweet as it gets. — J.D.

Villano Antillano, ‘BZRP Music Sessions #51’

It seems like it would be massively intimidating to stack up to the talent that Bizarrap, the rising Argentine producer, regularly features on his ultra-popular BZRP Music Sessions — but the Puerto Rican rapper Villano Antillano barely batted an eye when she took the mic for a knockout video that blew away the Internet (155 million YouTube views and counting). Antillano, who has broken barriers as a trans woman in pop, storms onto the song with a barrage of flexes and double-entendres, wiping the floor with her haters. All hell really breaks loose once Bizarrap accelerates the beat: Antillano whips out a black handheld fan, waving it triumphantly with each explosive bar. — J.L.

Zach Bryan, ‘Something in the Orange’

MICKEY BERNAL/GETTY IMAGES

The breakthrough single from Oklahoma-raised singer-songwriter Zach Bryan is a bare-bones showcase for his weathered wail and painfully precise descriptions of how heartbreak can ravage the mind. Accompanied by a ghostly slide guitar and his own strumming, Bryan pours out his heart to a straying lover, with the encroaching dusk — the “orange” that bleeds into all of Bryan’s imagery — serving as a harbinger for a long, lonely night of solitude. Bryan’s lament smolders with regret and anger, threatening to burst into flame at any moment. — M.J.

Noah Cyrus, ‘I Burned L.A. Down’

NOAH CYRUS/YOUTUBE

The Cyrus family legacy runs from “Achy Breaky Heart” to Plastic Hearts, but youngest sister Noah Cyrus goes her own way on “I Burned L.A. Down,” a highlight from her debut album, The Hardest Part. It’s a stark acoustic country-pop burner about feeling trapped in a one-sided relationship with a California guy — and maybe also with California. Cyrus mourns, “You can’t make a god of somebody/Who’s not even a half-decent man.” It’s a West Coast cousin to Taylor Swift’s “Maroon,” feeling lost in a city where you used to feel at home, after your heart gets broken there. — R.S.

Megan Thee Stallion, ‘Plan B’

MEGAN THEE STALLION/YOUTUBE

When Megan premiered “Plan B” during her Coachella set this April, heads exploded. The scorn in her precise raps for an ain’t-shit ex was incinerating, each diss hotter than the next. “Popping Plan B’s ’cause I ain’t planned to be stuck with ya,” is mild compared to everything that comes after. And with the threat to reproductive rights becoming especially dire two months after the song’s premiere, “Plan B” is an incredible assertion of those rights’ importance. — M.C.

Ashley McBryde, Caylee Hammack, Brandy Clark, and Pillbox Patti, ‘Bonfire at Tina’s’

ASHLEY MCBRYDE/YOUTUBE

Country rebel Ashley McBryde turns this old-school drinking song into a future-school celebration of sisterhood. “Bonfire at Tina’s” is the highlight of Lindeville, her concept albumabout a small town full of wild characters, inspired by the great Nashville songwriter Dennis Linde. She sings about a group of rowdy girlfriends who don’t always see eye-to-eye — but they watch each other’s backs, pour each other drinks, light each other’s joints. She shares the microphone with Brandy Clark, Caylee Hammack, and Pillbox Patti. As she warns, “Small-town women ain’t built to get along/But you burn one of us, boy, you burn us all.” — R.S.

Doechii & SZA, ‘Persuasive’

PARAS GRIFFIN/GETTY IMAGES

Doechii scores her most undeniable track yet with “Persuasive,” teaming up with SZA for the killer remix duet. The song evokes a druggy up-all-night vibe where falling head over heels in love can feel like being blunted out of your mind. She keeps singing the sleepy hook, “She’s so persuasive/That marijuana/She’s so flirtatious,” over a moody Seventies R&B groove. SZA adds her signature swagger, demanding, “Get off my balls, I said it nice.” They keep coming back to the key question, “How does it feel to be you?” The answer: damn good whenever “Persuasive” is playing. — R.S.

Burna Boy, ‘Last Last’

BURNA BOY/YOUTUBE

This heartache anthem was a huge hit for the Nigerian superstar, topping Billboard’s Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart and racking up more than 100 million streams on Spotify alone. You can hear why: The beat samples a different love-gone-bad anthem, Toni Braxton’s 2000 hit “He Wasn’t Man Enough,” creating a seductively moody bed for Burna Boy to vocalize with canny self-assurance. Burna’s delivery is both elegant and a little broken as he laments lost love and turns “I need igbo and shayo” — weed and booze, basically — into a sung hook that lit up stereos from Lagos to L.A. — C.H.

Rina Sawayama, ‘This Hell’

RINA SAWAYAMA/YOUTUBE

There are so many amazing lines in this bonkers country-pop bash, from “Got my invitation, to eternal damnation” to “Fuck what they did to Britney, to Lady Di, and Whitney.” But the award goes to the opener, where Sawayama utters “Let’s go girls,” effortlessly invoking Shania Twain. Artists from other genres dabbling in country music is nothing new, but Sawayama does it better than nearly anyone here, proving she’s just trying to have a good time — while also inspiring change. “I get messages from people who connect the idea of country music with their conservative parents,” she told Twain in their recent Musicians on Musicians interview for RS. “They’ve been like, ‘You’ve taken trauma out of the genre. Thank you.’” — A.M.

Ice Spice, ‘Munch (Feelin U)’

WORLDSTAR HIPHOP/YOUTUBE

Bronx rapper Ice Spice landed one of the year’s breakout hits with “Munch (Feelin’ U),” a track that found her blending the rhythmic aggression of drill with a cool vocal style. On musical terms, she sounds unflappable, dismissing suitors and gawkers alike. Ice Spice’s image was as omnipresent as her music this summer, as fans debated her come-up. Only time will tell if “Munch” is just a TikTok-fueled one-off or the start of something bigger, but for now we’ll keep it on repeat. — M.R.

13

Pusha T, ‘Dreamin’ of the Past’

PRINCE WILLIAMS/WIREIMAGE

The simple, Donny Hathaway-sample-driven backdrop of “Dreamin’ of the Past” was the perfect canvas for Pusha T’s winding raps, which touch on everything from bankrolling Christmas with drug money to his annoyance with women who can’t pronounce the name of a luxury fashion house. Kanye West, who produced the song, offers a quick, smart, but slightly troubling verse; his reflections on finance, faith, and family feel foreboding given all we know and have seen of him now. But this is clearly Pusha’s show.— M.C.

Yahritza Y Su Esencia, ‘Soy El Unico’

YAHRITZA/YOUTUBE

When Yahritza Martinez first played “Soy El Unico” for her brother Armando, he was surehis 13-year-old sister was playing a cover. It’s for good reason: The stunning acoustic ballad, steeped in the traditional ballads and corridos of her parents’ native Michoacán region of Mexico and guided by Martinez’s stunning old-soul vocals, sounds like it’s existed forever. The reality is that the devastating torch song, which Martinez wrote by observing teenagers around her going through heartbreak, is a bonafide hit: After going viral on TikTok earlier this year, it topped the Latin music charts and racked up nearly 100 million streams on Spotify alone. But even if it hadn’t become nearly as popular, it’d still be the most astonishing debut single of the year. — J. Bernstein

Kendrick Lamar, ‘N95’

KENDRICK LAMAR/YOUTUBE

Kendrick Lamar’s “N95” opens with a flurry of commands: “Take off them fabricated streams and them microwave memes.” His intro hearkens back to De La Soul’s 1989 track “Take It Off,” yet Lamar is not only distinguishing himself from his peers, but also confronting a world tentatively lowering its N95 masks amidst the ongoing Covid pandemic. “Bitch, you ugly as fuck!” he exclaims before adding “you outta pocket” in a different tone of voice. With moody, bass-y production, this is Lamar confronting societal clichés with restless intellectual fervor, and claims that he doesn’t care about the consequences. — M.R.

Drake feat. 21 Savage, ‘Jimmy Cooks’

DRAKE/YOUTUBE

Nestled at the end of Drake’s club-music adventure Honestly, Nevermind, “Jimmy Cooks” finds the 6 God on familiar ground, snapping and talking trash with 21 Savage. “Love the way they hang babe, fuck the silicon,” he opines lasciviously. “I be with my gun like Rozay be with lemon pepper,” adds 21. The track is split into three parts, including a Memphis rap-sampling intro as well as a beat apiece for the two rappers, and they bounce around the track with effortless bars, completely in the pocket. — M.R.

Harry Styles, ‘As It Was’

KEVIN MAZUR/GETTY IMAGES

The lead single from Harry Styles’ third album balances its agitated inner monologue, where the shape-shifting pop star picks at the details of a relationship in crisis, with spun-sugar synths that give cover to his torment. From its playful opening — Styles’ goddaughter Ruby giggling “Go on, Harry, we want to say goodnight to you!” — to its singsong bridge, during which Styles’ thoughts are ping-ponging around his head at “high-speed internet” velocities, “As It Was” paints an unusually vivid picture. Everything might seem fine on first glance, but it all becomes more troubling (“What kind of pills are you on?”) with each repeated glimpse. — M.J.

Beyonce, ‘Break My Soul’

MASON POOLE*

What timing! Beyoncé’s spiritual successor to Johnny Paycheck’s immortal “Take This Job and Shove It” came into a post-Nomadland world of increasingly transient work. By year’s end, it could have been written for the engineers flocking from Twitter. The record hit like a shock wave — was Beyoncé really doing house music? She was, indeed — and her interpolation of Robin S.’s classic “Show Me Love” and sample of Big Freedia’s New Orleans bounce classic “Explode” (“Release ya job!”) has already helped pivot the wider pop world to house as a lodestone. — M.M.

Pharrell feat. 21 Savage and Tyler, The Creator, ‘Cash In Cash Out’

PHARRELL/YOUTUBE

Pharrell came back strong with “Cash In Cash Out,” with a little help from the all-star duo of 21 Savage and Tyler, the Creator. Pharrell neither sings nor raps on the track — he just keeps that hypnotic, minimalist 808 loop pumping, and with a beat this cold, that’s all he needs to do. 21 Savage flexes his rudest humor, boasting, “She swallow all my kids, she a bad babysitter/Kim Jong-Un, in my pants is a missile.” Tyler, on a roll after Call Me If You Get Lost, reports that he refused a multi-million-dollar show — “I declined because the stage didn’t match my ethos” — and slips in the boast, “Going both sides, you could say I’m B-I.” — R.S.

Quavo and Takeoff, ‘Hotel Lobby’

AARON J. THORNTON/WIREIMAGE

When Quavo and his nephew Takeoff seemingly broke with Migos member and cousin Offset and dropped “Hotel Lobby,” it seemed like an escapade before the band eventually got back together. Now, after Takeoff’s senseless murder in November, the duo’s side project has taken on tragic significance. As always, the Atlanta rappers float together like Golden State’s splash brothers. Takeoff brags how his “diamonds be dancing like Bobby [Brown],” while Quavo warns he’s “claiming that stick/Nigga made one wrong move, just popped him.” It hurts to think that the fun wasn’t meant to last. — M.R.

Rosalia, ‘Despecha’

XAVI TORRENT/REDFERNS

In conversation, Rosalía dazzles with an encyclopedic knowledge of genres, exploring sounds that aren’t her own with a sheer, genuine love of music. That same sincerity comes through in songs like this one, which she premiered during this year’s epic Motomami tour. “Despechá” uses a mambo piano line as starting point, then delves into merengue territory chiseled by touches of avant-pop. Her respect for the bounce of the Dominican Republic’s most trusted dance format is poignant, but it is the soaring energy in her vocals that moves this summertime single closer to the sacred ground she’s aiming for. “Despechá” suggests that Rosalía’s future experiments in global hitmaking may be just as inspired as the milestone that was Motomami. — E.L.

Taylor Swift, ‘Karma’

“I’m still here.” With three words, Taylor Swift not only cemented Midnights as a middle finger to the people who prayed for her downfall — she sealed this song’s fate as its album-defining hit. Yes, “Anti-Hero” is the single, and “Maroon” is the one your moody friend keeps quoting. But “Karma” marries Swift’s mastermind lyrics (check out how “Karma is my boyfriend” shifts from smirking metaphor to lovebird literality as the song goes on) with the sleekest, most flexible production tendencies from longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff. When the track list was first released, some fans fixated on the hope that “Karma”  would relate to a long-rumored lost album. But any disappointments about getting an easter egg wrong were swept away by a tenacious revenge song so quintessentially Swift that the tour choreography is practically decided after one listen. — C.T.J.

Steve Lacy, ‘Bad Habit’

Steve Lacy says “Bad Habit” clarified his vision for his stellar album Gemini Rights, which, sure, is about a breakup, but also about the parts of you that pulse and pull and contradict and  coexist all at once. It’s fitting, then, that its thesis track cruises like a daylit ride through a psyche in healing, at once peaceful and turbulent. Lacy’s lyrics make peace with the parting and long for reunion; he knows he has power, but gives some away. There’s musical genius in making melancholy groovy enough to soundtrack the summer and soar to the top of the charts. This thing happened for a reason. — M.C.

Beyonce, ‘Cuff It’

MASON POOLE*

Ranking one Renaissance cut above them all is no small task, but the impact of “Cuff It” is undeniable. It has thrived as a single, replete with jovial dance moves that spread like a contagion — and It’s strikingly placed on an album where sequencing is integral to the experience. At track four, the immediacy and ease of its funk is in sharp and exhilarating contrast to the shadowy electronic music that comes before it. As soon as “Cuff It” starts, we’re jetted to an ethereal disco in outer space, welcomed at the doors by the genre’s greatest practitioner, Nile Rodgers, who co-wrote the track and plays guitar on it. Aided by the Chic icon’s magic touch, Beyoncé reached the pinnacle of the modern throwback. — M.C.

Bad Bunny, ‘Titi Me Preguntó’

KEVIN WINTER/GETTY IMAGES

The good news:  Bad Bunny brought frantic dembow beats, a classy sample by bachata master Anthony Santos, and a coda with a dash of Latin psychedelia to the global mainstream. Even better? He did it all with panache and a healthy sense of humor. Using the archetype of the concerned Latin American aunt asking about her nephew’s potential girlfriends as a starting point, the Puerto Rican icon launches into a hilarious tirade of salacious puns to a bouncy party vibe that — in typical Bad Bunny fashion — unexpectedly morphs into moody self-reflection. More than any other track off Un Verano Sin Ti, “Tití Me Preguntó” showcases Benito’s unbridled creativity, his eccentric pop genius. — E.L.

[bnavmo]

loveless generation

though i'd like to like you all

i don't, you make me hit a wall

you act big, but you're too small

truth is, you make my eyes bawl

cos we're loveless generation

an impossible permutation

we're the product of accidental creation

representing the death of an entire nation

so bebé, si no estás en mi órbita

es porque tu vibra es inhóspita

si me alejo, descifra el acertijo, despeja la incógnita

no es tan difícil, no es una charada insólita

tu criticismo es una fuente eterna de estrés

y tu trato hacia a los demás es todo lo opuesto a cortés

tu indisponibilidad impide que haya un después

y tu superficialidad resulta en mi completo desinterés

segismundo montando caballos de troya

y los rascacielos rodeados por árboles secoya

más caliente que un verano en nicoya

un sol y una luna colgando de argolla

a lo lejos...

afrodita en lencería

nutriendo el ego y la idolatría

más selecta que la mayoría

desafiando cualquier teoría

sin estándar ni categoría

diabla de noche y angel de día

delirando en grandeza como rosalía

llena de deseo y sabiduría

privilegiada, nunca minoría

fucking with venus, qué osadía

por telepatía, quién lo diría

busca aislarse para salvar su batería

no es a modo de defensa, ella es bien fría

poco le importa lo que el mundo pensaría

borrar rastros es mi doctrina

los astros me llaman divina

nunca paro, mi don es la disciplina

a cargo del mar y toda la marina

prendo en llamas cualquier piscina

y el cielo alcanzo desde la ruina

piscis como un verso que no termina

me llaman el aconcagua de argentina

todo lo sintético digiero como medicina

a veces cruelmente masculina

pero siempre sutilmente femenina

mi presencia te sube la dopamina

quieres mucha rosa, pero poca espina

eres israel bombardeándome como palestina

y quieres tapar el humo con una cortina

crees poder impresionarme con tu harina

pero eres carbohidrato y yo mucha proteína

conozco tu intención y sé que no es genuina

puedo ver a través de toda tu neblina

fuera de alcance en alguna calle josefina

escuchando a lorde, soy tu pura heroína

dime qué estoy pensando, a ver, adivina

de punto y coma a punto final se termina
