“Stereoqueen”
by Stela Cole
Tright here’s nothing fairly like that first evening out after a breakup – the liberty, the adrenaline, the ache that also lingers underneath your pores and skin. Stela Cole bottles that emotional rollercoaster into pure electrical energy on “Stereoqueen,” a seductive disco-pop triumph off her debut album I Die The place You Start (independently launched April 18th by way of her personal Stelavision Data). Glistening guitars and glammed-up harmonies shimmer with warmth as Cole reclaims her energy on the dance flooring, her voice pulsing with fireplace and ferocity. “Don’t attempt talkin’ to me / Tonight I’m gonna be the stereo queen,” she sings with conviction, each word soaked in power and self-possession.
Don’t attempt talkin’ to me
Tonight I’m gonna be
the stereo queen
Dancing prefer it’s 1973, uh
Child, I don’t want ya,
swear that I don’t want ya, no
Don’t attempt trippin’ my toes
Tonight I’m gonna be
the stereo queen
Dancing such as you don’t
imply nothin’ to me
Child, I don’t want ya,
swear that I don’t want ya, no
“This music is in regards to the first evening out after a breakup, and what rediscovering your sense of self can really feel like,” Cole tells Atwood Journal. “It’s thrilling, upbeat and enjoyable, whereas additionally hinting on the previous and the nerves that include being newly single and going through the world with out the individual you used to name house… whether or not they have been good for you or not.” That stress offers “Stereoqueen” its emotional edge – a fearless, fiery anthem with a touch of fragility, dancing by way of the sting of reminiscence and right into a daring, unshakable now.
I,I wanna dance
(dancin’, dancin’, dancin’)
Wanna prance up on the mattress
Snow angels on the ground
And I put myself up in a trance
Performing like an actress
When you’re bangin’ down my door
Cole calls this the “empowering section” in her debut album’s narrative arc – “the second after you lastly depart somebody who has damage you, and the adrenaline kicks in” and self-worth comes roaring again – or as she places it, “You’re feeling unstoppable.”
“Being a Stereoqueen means being sturdy and setting your self free,” she says. “It’s having a wild evening out with your mates, dancing to the classics, and forgetting all of the bullshit that’s weighed you down up to now… For me, it’s about reclaiming my independence after a foul breakup the place I misplaced who I used to be for some time.” There’s grit in that glory – and a whisper of doubt that lingers within the music’s bridge: “You would possibly f* with me tomorrow, however tonight I’m in my feels.”
Don’t attempt talkin’ to me
Tonight I’m gonna be
the stereo queen
Dancing prefer it’s 1973, uh
Child, I don’t want ya,
swear that I don’t want ya, no
Don’t attempt trippin’ my toes
Tonight I’m gonna be
the stereo queen
Dancing such as you don’t
imply nothin’ to me
Child, I don’t want ya,
swear that I don’t want ya, no
“Stereoqueen” is intoxicating, impassioned, an irresistible – a throwback fever dream that also feels completely trendy – and a standout second on an album stuffed with emotional extremes. As Cole places it, I Die The place You Start is her “house base as an artist,” and songs like this one remind us simply how thrilling that basis can sound when it’s constructed on liberation, honesty, and unfiltered pleasure.
If I’m being actual,
I’ll minimize you a deal
You would possibly f* with me tomorrow,
however tonight I’m in my feels
And I really feel, oh
Like breakin’ it down,
two, three, 4
“There’s a music on this album for any and each emotion you feel,” Cole provides, smiling. “The human expertise is a rollercoaster, and this album is a reminder of what it’s prefer to reside, to like, to be damaged, and to be modified.”
Stela Cole doesn’t simply endure by way of the ache – she leaves it within the mud. If “Stereoqueen” teaches us something, it’s that typically, the easiest way to heal is to show the amount up and dance your manner again to your self.
Don’t attempt talkin’ to me
Tonight I’m gonna be
the stereo queen
Dancing prefer it’s 1973, uh
Child, I don’t want ya,
swear that I don’t want ya, no
Don’t attempt trippin’ my toes
Tonight I’m gonna be
the stereo queen
Dancing such as you don’t
imply nothin’ to me
Child, I don’t want ya,
swear that I don’t want ya, no
“Carrie”
by Breagh Isabel
We don’t at all times select our daydreams – typically they only seem, vivid and stuffed with coloration, like a music already writing itself. “Carrie” arrived that manner for Canadian singer/songwriter Breagh Isabel: A fleeting glimpse of a stranger within the park sparked a rush of creativeness, blooming right into a vibrant queer love music that looks like a summer season crush come to life. Mild and lustrous with ‘80s synths and pulsing beats, “Carrie” is playful and passionate, tender and electrical – a fantasy you need to reside in and a refrain you’re singing earlier than the primary spin is thru.
I can’t cease considering ’bout
I can’t cease considering ’bout
Carrie
My favorite daydream
Lovin’ you is straightforward
wait ‘til you meet me
I can’t cease considering bout
I can’t cease considering ‘bout
Carrie, Carrie
Written with Robyn Dell’Unto on a spring day in Nashville, “Carrie” captures the fun of a narrative that hasn’t occurred – and possibly by no means will. “Offer you a reputation ‘trigger I’ll by no means discover out… Lovin’ you is straightforward, wait until you meet me,” Isabel sings, her voice gliding like a secret. “It’s a love music for somebody you’ll by no means meet,” she shares. “I feel it captures the way in which your thoughts can spiral into all of the what-ifs of a relationship, earlier than it begins and even when completely nothing in regards to the individual. The form of love story that feels thrilling as a result of it’s not actual.” Escapist, romantic, and completely irresistible, this can be a crush anthem born to soundtrack Satisfaction month and past.
Isabel and Dell’Unto bonded over a shared love of MUNA’s “crush” songs, and that affect is unmistakable: “Carrie” echoes the enjoyment and abandon of tracks like “Silk Chiffon,” with large, buoyant beats, light-touch vocals, and a heat, summery shimmer that lifts the fantasy even greater. But whereas it pays homage, the music is pure Breagh Isabel, mixing her crisp indie pop sensibilities with cinematic manufacturing and deeply private storytelling.
Did you sleep at house on their own final evening
What number of others are dying to deal with you proper
Possibly I’m simply on the lookout for a contemporary begin, a brand new life
You appear to be somebody I might love if that alright
Tonight I’ll fly to the foot of your mattress
If I can’t have you ever I need nothing as a substitute
Offer you a reputation trigger I’ll by no means discover out
For Isabel, the enjoyment of “Carrie” lies in its spontaneity – the liberty to comply with a spark with out overthinking it. “I hope listeners simply have enjoyable with this music,” she shares. “Not each music must be deep or heavy – typically it’s nearly chasing a vibe and letting your self be just a little playful with the method.” That light-weight sentiment pulses by way of each beat of “Carrie,” whose warmth and heartbeat glow simply beneath the shiny floor. It’s the form of music that makes you need to dance and pine directly – a smoldering seduction wearing sweat, sparkle, and synth.
Whether or not she’s writing for herself or others, Breagh Isabel makes music that comes from the guts – trustworthy and story-driven, stuffed with sparks. “Carrie” is perhaps only a daydream, but it surely’s one you’ll end up returning to lengthy after the ultimate refrain fades. True to type, I can’t cease considering ‘bout “Carrie.”
I can’t cease considering bout
I can’t cease considering bout
Carrie
My favorite daydream
Lovin’ you is straightforward,
wait ’til you meet me
I can’t cease considering ‘bout
I can’t cease considering ‘bout
Carrie, Carrie
Carrie, Carrie
If I can’t have you ever…
I can’t cease enthusiastic about
I can’t cease considering Carrie…
“You Killed the Music”
by Debbii Dawson
Tright here’s a form of magic that solely Debbii Dawson can conjure – the sort that glitters underneath disco lights, shimmers with heartache, and rises in triumph like a sequin-streaked phoenix from the ashes. Her single “You Killed the Music” brings that dynamic to life: A blinding eruption of sound and spirit, pairing cinematic synths with punchy drums, dramatic basslines, and Dawson’s signature aptitude for emotional grandeur. Half heartbreak, half rebirth, it’s the form of full physique anthem that makes you’re feeling like the principle character in your personal coming-of-age film – dancing within the ruins, glitter catching the sunshine.
You killled the music
Left me in ruins
Wrapped up in quiet
Poison with silence
You killed the music (ooh)
Made me really feel silly (ooh)
What am I combating? (Ooh)
Main to minor (ooh)
For 29-year-old Dawson – who signed to legendary main RCA Data final 12 months and subsequently launched the EP Tips on how to Be Human to essential acclaim – “You Killed the Music” is a narrative of each ache and perseverance. “Like numerous breakup songs, the story explains how somebody damage me and I acquired by way of it,” she tells Atwood Journal. “On this specific state of affairs, a person tainted one thing so pure for me, my love for music. It acquired to the purpose the place I couldn’t hearken to the radio anymore, not to mention write or sing, with out feeling unhappy or offended.”
That damage cuts deep, but it surely’s the act of rising up and reclaiming her love that offers this music its energy. “You killed the music / Left me in ruins / Wrapped up in quiet / Poison with silence,” Dawson sings, her voice trembling with each grief and fireplace. And but, what begins in silence doesn’t finish there. “I closed the door / And adjusted all of the chords / Then my toes begin to move…”
“You Killed the Music” is a radiant embrace of pleasure and identification. “Now all these brand-new melodies maintain falling off the tip of my tongue… I’m listening to symphonies, you actually made me suppose I used to be accomplished / However child, you’ll be able to’t cease me now,” Dawson rejoices within the music’s refrain, wholeheartedly in her aspect – and loving each minute of it. It’s a triumphant center finger and a glistening, glittery catharsis wrapped into one – a reminder that probably the most highly effective form of therapeutic usually comes with a beat you’ll be able to dance to.
I closed the door
And adjusted all of the chords
Then my toes begin to transfer
Now all these brand-new
Melodies maintain falling off the tip of my tongue
Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha
I’m listening to symphonies,
you actually made me suppose I used to be accomplished
However child, you’ll be able to’t cease me now
Melodies maintain falling off the tip of my tongue
Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha
I’m listening to symphonies,
you actually made me suppose I used to be accomplished
However child, you’ll be able to’t cease me now
“Each single phrase on this music is a direct reference to what I used to be going by way of,” Dawson shares. “I used to be having a very laborious time, so the feelings are very actual. I’m singing about music, however on a deeper stage, this music is about any individual or circumstance that sucks the life out of you, breaks your spirit, and steals your spark. After which the triumph felt when it doesn’t get the higher of you.”
There’s a theatricality to Dawson’s type that feels each contemporary and timeless – she’s ABBA reincarnate, a disco-pop dancing queen making feel-good, empowering, larger-than-life pop songs that really feel concurrently basic and modern, timeless and contemporary. And together with her music’s VHS-inspired music video, metallic go-go boots, and a coronary heart on fireplace, she embodies the enjoyment of liberation and the sweetness of survival. “Making this music was a cathartic expertise for me,” she says. “My coronary heart was so heavy after I went into the studio to write down this monitor, and I left that evening floating within the air with a smile on my face.”
You killed the music
Pulled my manner by way of it
Now I’m enjoying all of the songs
that I do know you wouldn’t like
The day that you just left,
oh, I got here alive
I closed the door
Yeah, I minimize the cords
Then my toes begin to transfer
Now all these brand-new
Between her fearless efficiency and flawless supply, Dawson clearly poured her full self into this music – and it reveals. “I hope listeners really feel empowered and uncover resilience they didn’t know they’d,” she provides. “For anybody going by way of one thing that’s leaving you feeling damaged, you’re going to be okay. You can be the individual you have been earlier than once more, however whoever or no matter is making you’re feeling that manner has acquired to go!”
There actually is a magic to the whole lot Debbii Dawson touches: From final 12 months’s hit single “Blissful World” to latest singles “Chemical Response” and “Intestine Emotions,” her songs are invigorating, inspiring, and completely intoxicating.
“I’m a bizarre lady who makes bizarre music for bizarre individuals,” Dawson grins. “Music gave me a spot to belong, and I hope the songs I make can present that to the world as nicely.”
This music does all that and entire lot extra: With “You Killed the Music,” Debbii Dawson doesn’t simply reclaim her spark – she ignites ours, too. She closed the door, minimize the cords, and saved the beat – now we’re all dancing in her glow.
Melodies maintain falling off the tip of my tongue
Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha
I’m listening to symphonies,
you actually made me suppose I used to be accomplished
However child, you’ll be able to’t cease me now
Melodies maintain falling off the tip of my tongue
Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha
I’m listening to symphonies
You actually made me suppose I used to be accomplished
However child, you’ll be able to’t cease me now
Validation is a hell of a drug – and aleksiah chases that top with fireplace and finesse on “The Hit.” A daring, glistening standout off her new EP Cry About It (out July 11th by way of Chugg Music and Stellar Set off), this music hits like a jolt to the system: All pulsing beats, glowing synths, and emotionally uncooked vocals that ache and soar in equal measure. Suppose MUNA meets Lily Allen, with a contact of 2010s recession-pop – all wrapped round a voice that pulls you in and doesn’t let go.
I acquired the assistance I would like
I do know the grass is inexperienced
I don’t suppose I’ll ever be,
be sufficient for you
Hung up on jealousy
Caught on a melody
Discovering the lacking piece
inside my bed room
I need the identical as you
A minimum of I feel I do
I do know that I’m sure to lose
this match between us
A lock and a pair keys
Harness and heavy leash
Makin’ it laborious to depart
“Oh, it’s the hit that cuts me to my core / When the writing’s on the wall / Possibly this’ll be my downfall…” the Adelaide-based singer/songwriter belts, her voice simmering with self-awareness and desperation. Written alone in a resort room, “The Hit” is in regards to the stress to create one thing nice – to be nice – and the frenzy of validation that comes with it. “I had simply listened to considered one of my favourite songs, ‘Love Track’ by Sara Bareilles, and I beloved the way it might be seen from two factors of view, feeling pressured to make a success music and a relationship, so I needed to attempt my hand on the identical factor,” aleksiah tells Atwood Journal.
Now it, it’s as much as me
It’s a thousand levels
And each second, each minute,
it will get more durable to breathe
After I don’t really feel the frenzy
When the phrases should not sufficient
After I’m lookin’ on the web page
and I’m pretendin’ that it’s love
Oh, it’s the hit that cuts me to my core
When the writing’s on the wall
Possibly this’ll be my downfall
Child, it’s the hit that will get me by way of the evening
Leaves me thinkin’ that I’m wonderful
Within the mornin’ I’ll be all yours
Child, it’s ooh, manner you take a look at me
Inform me it’s future, “we might make historical past”
Oh child, it’s the hit that cuts me to the core
Leaves me dyin’ on the ground
Possibly this’ll be my downfall, downfall
“The music is about feeling unworthy, and having that exterior (however largely inside) stress on you to do nicely. However then you might spin the story and skim it like a music a couple of poisonous relationship, and that ‘the hit’ is the validation you get from being with somebody, and the way it’s virtually like a drug.”
That duality is the guts of “The Hit” – a dance between craving and collapse, between ambition and unraveling. “For me it’s about placing a lot stress on myself to do nicely. I’ve at all times been an individual that places numerous satisfaction and numerous perception within the issues I do, which I swear goes to kill me ultimately,” aleksiah says wryly. “Don’t really feel the frenzy / And the phrases should not sufficient / Like I’m lookin’ at a river and pretendin’ it’s a flood.” She’s chasing perfection, even when it hurts – capturing in music the catharsis that comes from lastly admitting how a lot it takes out of you.
“It could not sound like a very private music, however the state of affairs the music speaks about is extremely near my chest.”
Lackin’ the empathy
Sincere and hellish we
Naturally disagree and might’t escape it
Knowin’ you’re dangerous for me
Struggle it like gravity
You make it so laborious to depart
Now it, it’s as much as me
It’s so laborious to consider
There’s nothin’ left to make a large number of
Guess I’m runnin’ out of steam, ’trigger I
Don’t really feel the frenzy
And the phrases should not sufficient
Like I’m lookin’ at a river
and pretendin’ it’s a flood
“The Hit” marks a shift on Cry About It, falling on the EP’s B-side and signaling a sonic and emotional evolution. “The final two songs I wrote for the EP have been ‘Garments Off’ and ‘The Hit,’ that are much more poppy and at this cut-off date, I’m actually resonating with that sound,” she explains. “I feel ‘The Hit’ actually matches in with the second half of the EP.” Impressed by writers like Sara Bareilles and her personal childhood love of “miserable songs with enjoyable pop beats,” aleksiah makes music that feels each deeply private and universally felt – for “people who take themselves just a little too critically, however want they didn’t (me).”
“I hope listeners know they’re not alone in the event that they’re a perfectionist,” she shares. “They’re not loopy for making an attempt their hardest… and if individuals of their life inform them to ‘relax,’ don’t hearken to them.”
“For me, I feel it was a giant launch to get a weight of stress and perfectionism off of my chest.”
It is perhaps in regards to the weight of expectation, however “The Hit” is a launch – explosive, exhilarating, and unforgettable. aleksiah doesn’t buckle underneath stress; somewhat, she breaks the cycle and turns her ache into pop gold.
Oh, it’s the hit that cuts me to my core
When the writing’s on the wall
Possibly this’ll be my downfall
Child, it’s the hit that will get me by way of the evening
Leaves me thinkin’ that I’m wonderful
Within the mornin’ I’ll be all yours
Child, it’s ooh, manner you take a look at me
Inform me it’s future, “we might make historical past”
Oh child, it’s the hit that cuts me to the core
Leaves me dyin’ on the ground
Possibly this’ll be my downfall, downfall
Don’t you complainin’
to anyone else, physique else, no
Oh honey, you introduced
this on your self, on your self, oh
“It’s a music a couple of lady.” That’s all Royel Otis needed to say about “moody,” and hell, possibly that’s all they wanted to say. The Australian duo’s frustration-fueled music is a dizzying mix of exasperation and exhilaration – a gloriously messy, tongue-in-cheek indie rock anthem that hits like a late-night meltdown with a facet of eyeliner smudged excellent. It’s uncooked, it’s catchy, it’s wry and wide-eyed abruptly – and it’s now a bonafide hit, not too long ago touchdown the #1 spot on the Billboard Grownup Various Airplay chart!
I acquired good intentions, she don’t see them in any respect
She’d somewhat point out that I missed her name
I’m within the canine home once more
Staring on the wall, wall, wall
She’s at all times givin’ it to me
Late nights, she at all times accusin’
Final time, she stated she would kill me
My lady’s a bitch when she’s moody
However she’s my the whole lot, she’s all that I would like
Typically greater than I need, need, need
Co-written with GRAMMY-winner Amy Allen and produced by Blake Slatkin, “moody” is one heck of a fever dream. It faucets into that chaotic, obsessive, impossible-to-win form of relationship – the sort that makes you’re feeling such as you’re spiraling, at the same time as you’re grinning by way of the chaos. “She’s at all times givin’ it to me / Late nights, she at all times accusin’ / Final time, she stated she would kill me / My lady’s a bitch when she’s moody,” Royel Maddell sings, earlier than undercutting the entire thing with a deadpan shrug: “However she’s my the whole lot, she’s all that I would like / Typically greater than I need.”
There’s a wink behind the weariness, a smirk beneath the self-loathing. That’s the Royel Otis candy spot – undeniably and irresistibly catchy, simply self-aware sufficient to sting, and inconceivable not to sing alongside to. “moody” appears like a misplaced ‘90s alt-rock gem filtered by way of 2025’s lo-fi lens – all jangle, pulse, and punch. It’s each a throwback and an announcement: These guys know precisely what they’re doing, they usually’re having a blast doing it.
Questions are loaded, her face says quite a bit
She’s cryptically coated, she’s house after I’m not
It’s simply large feelings, it’s not jealousy
Most days of the week
She’s at all times givin’ it to me
Late nights, she at all times accusin’
Final time, she stated she would kill me
My lady’s a bitch when she’s moody
However she’s my the whole lot, she’s all that I would like
Typically greater than I need, need, need
That sense of managed chaos has outlined Royel Otis’ rise over the previous two years – from buzzy covers (“Homicide on the Dancefloor,” “Linger”) to breakout originals to sold-out headline excursions and now, a much-anticipated sophomore album. hickey, out August 22nd by way of OURNESS / Capitol Data, guarantees extra of what Royel Maddell and Otis Pavlovic do greatest: Loud, intelligent, emotionally unruly songs that keep on with your pores and skin. “moody” is just the start – a warning shot to look out for all that’s to come back.
And whereas it ought to go with out saying: Don’t use this music as an excuse to name your beloved a you-know-what. However do flip it up, scream it out, and revel within the lovely chaos of wanting somebody just a little too a lot. Royel Otis have written the summer season’s sharpest, snarkiest love music – they usually’ve by no means sounded extra in charge of the spiral.
True to its identify, “moody” is f*ing moody in the absolute best manner – and it’s a worthy anthem to earn Royel Otis their very first #1.
Making her eyes rolls
On her bottom, so
Being alone at house
However I can’t let it go
No, I can’t let it go
She’s at all times givin’ it to me
Late nights, she at all times accusin’
Final time, she stated she would kill me
My lady’s a bitch when she’s—
She’s at all times givin’ it to me
Late nights, she at all times accusin’
Final time, she stated she would kill me
My lady’s a bitch when she’s moody
However she’s my the whole lot, she’s all that I would like
Typically greater than I need, need, need
“Mystical Magical”
by Benson Boone
Benson Boone isn’t simply evolving; he’s ascending. “Mystical Magical” finds the Grammy-nominated hitmaker shedding his heart-on-sleeve, brooding balladeer picture and stepping absolutely into the highlight as a flamboyant, feverish pop star. The music is dramatic, cinematic, and over-the-top in all the precise methods – a wild, whirling anthem that brings collectively Bowie’s glam, Freddie’s flamboyance, and Boone’s personal breathless bravado. From the primary word, it’s clear: His sophomore album American Coronary heart marks a daring new chapter, and “Mystical Magical” is its glittering gateway.
There’s nothing colder than your shoulder
Whenever you’re dragging me alongside
such as you do, such as you do
And you then change up with no warnin’
And also you kiss me such as you need it,
how impolite, how impolite
However I kinda prefer it anyhow
I don’t thoughts if that is gonna take one million days
I do know you’ll come round to me ultimately
In case you sit again, calm down,
and be a part of my firm, my firm
Boone has at all times identified the right way to stir emotion, however this time, he’s doing it in sequins and smoke. “Moonbeam ice cream, taking off your blue denims / Dancing on the films, ‘trigger it feels so mystical, magical, oh, child, ‘trigger as soon as , as soon as …” he croons, throwing warning – and readability – to the wind. The lyrics don’t must make sense; they only must really feel proper. “Idk wtf moonbeam ice cream is but it surely felt proper,” he joked on-line. “Go away me alone.” And but by some means, that phrase captures the complete spirit of the music – chaotic, sensual, euphoric, and utterly unconcerned with being understood.
As soon as what my love’s gonna really feel like
Nothing else will really feel proper, you’ll be able to really feel like
Moonbeam ice cream, taking off your blue denims
Dancing on the films, ’trigger it feels so
Mystical, magical
Oh, child, ’trigger as soon as , as soon as
My love is so mystical, magical
Oh, child, ’trigger as soon as , as soon as
There’s no holding again right here – not within the music, and definitely not onstage. An acrobat in each music and actual life, Boone is performing like a person possessed: Leaping, flipping, dancing by way of need with athletic grace and theatrical fireplace. Contemporary off his electrifying American Music Awards and Saturday Night time Stay performances (full with backflips off Jimmy Fallon’s desk), Boone is now absolutely leaning into spectacle. “Mystical Magical” isn’t only a music – it’s a showstopper. A dizzying, high-drama journey of need and confident seduction, delivered with poise, polish, and a complete lot of sweaty, steamy, glitter-slicked confidence.
My little hard-to-get child
I wanna provide the world
Not saying you gotta chase me
However I wouldn’t thoughts it
In case you gave me just a bit bit
Of one thing we will work it with
However all you do is push me out (Ha)
However I prefer it anyhow
‘Trigger I feel I’m getting nearer to you every single day
I do know you’ll come round to me ultimately
Simply sit again, calm down, and be a part of my firm
Oh, child, belief me
If “Lovely Issues” was Boone’s breakout torch music, that is his glam-pop rebirth. He’s not simply singing about emotion – he’s embodying it. Wailing. Spinning. Teasing. Tempting. “As soon as what my love’s gonna really feel like / Nothing else will really feel proper,” he sings, and for a second, you consider him. As a result of this music doesn’t simply need to impress you – it needs to swallow you entire.
With “Mystical Magical,” Benson Boone takes a leap and sticks the touchdown – laborious. It’s daring, it’s bombastic, and it’s not like the rest on the charts proper now. Pop music wants artists keen to be this additional – and Boone’s simply getting began. If that is what moonbeam ice cream tastes like, I’ll take two scoops and a stadium tour.
As soon as what my love’s gonna really feel like
Nothing else will really feel proper, you’ll be able to really feel like
Moonbeam ice cream, taking off your blue denims
Dancing on the films, ’trigger it feels so
Mystical, magical
Oh, child, ’trigger as soon as , as soon as
My love is so mystical, magical
Oh, child, ’trigger as soon as , as soon as
