![]() ![]() We close with George Michael's eternal "Freedom! '90" and heed his wisdom: You got to give what you take. We open with Reyna Roberts' ridiculously fun romp ("Country Club") limit ourselves to just two cuts from Barbie: The Album ( Karol G's "WATATI" and Charli XCX's "Speed Drive") we don't step, we don't walk, we don't dance, but float like Janelle Monáe we remember style and sound icons Tina Turner, Rita Lee, Astrud Gilberto and Jane Birkin we dance to Jam City, Romy, Peggy Gou and TWICE we sunset drift to Tainy, Amaarae and KAYTRAMINÉ. ![]() even if only for a night.įor Season 7, roséwave leans into the Best Summer Ever, an aspirational theme that holds space for the best of life and the messiest of life. Even when vacations go awry, relationships strain or your favorite restaurant closes, there are still glimmers of goodness and makeshift galas to be glamorous. (Sorry, I couldn't help myself.) But both things can be true. We hold so much promise in the simpler pleasures of summer that, by comparison, the humdrum of the everyday feels less. This, too, is how the season can feel: existentially pink. ![]() Barbie holds a sparkly compact mirror to reality and everybody is freaking out. "And so was yesterday and so is tomorrow and every day from now until forever!" Not only do we see the cracks in her fantastic, plastic world as she contemplates eternity, we feel them. "This is the best day ever!" exclaims the blonde, not-so-everywoman (played by Margot Robbie) in a party scene from Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie. Roséwave bottles that infinity with a soundtrack that spans generations and genres of music, celebrating the feels, friendships and fizzy drinks of summer. Summer feels infinite, but also rushed in its impermanence - every moment lasts in memory, but disappears quicker as days become shorter. We try to pack in as much bliss as possible, as if the sun will one day stop shining, your favorite ice cream spot could discontinue your favorite flavor or Taylor Swift won't release another album ever again.
