This week's FirstOut includes new music from janellemonae, Mxmtoon, findingfletcher and more
With the 2020 election on the horizon, the issue of voter suppression -- especially in the form of voter ID laws, the purging of voter rolls, removal of access to early voting and much more -- has come back to the forefront of our political discourse.
The moody, ukelele-heavy track sees Mxmtoon driving squarely in her bedroom-pop lane, while marking a departure for Jepsen's sugary electro-pop confections of the last few years. Add to that a quarantine-inspired music video in which the 20-year-old singer wanders around her Brooklyn neighborhood in a mask, and you've got one another extremely relatable song to include on your next heartbreak playlist.
But it's on EP highlight"Shh...Don't Say It" where Fletcher shines brightest, as she blends grimy production with her sultry exploration of finding a rebound, as she sings"This don't need to be serious, I just wanna touch you/ So don't tell me how you're feelin', baby."With the protests against police brutality continuing throughout America, up-and-coming singer Mishko wanted to make a song that speaks to the current moment.
The song's lyrics show Maclean questioning his potential"other half," wondering aloud if he's actually found a soulmate, or if he's just repeating old mistakes."So there we go or there we won't, I got so much to think about but I don't," he sings."So let me know or let me go without, dying to talk it out, all I want/ One heart, six strings, twin peaks, gemini.
