Solar Power: A Think Piece on Whether Happiness Is Allowed in the Present World

Rating: 💋 💋 💋 💋

(you're gonna be like "where's the food?" It's coming, I promise, but Lorde did a thing, please let me have my moment)


Hello Friends!

How is everybody doing? For those of you who don't know, last Friday (August 20th) was a holiday on the MK calendar. I had been looking forward to it all summer long. What was I celebrating, you may ask?

Well.

When I was a teenager, trying to figure out the great expanse of growing up and steering my identity and life path, Lorde's debut album Pure Heroine sympathized with my fears and curiosities. Not only did she top the charts and have an indelible impact on the sound of pop music, she made me feel less alone. I quickly became her biggest fan.

When I was twenty years old, completely heart broken and navigating the many new experiences college and life in the city offer - both exciting and not so much, Lorde gave us Melodrama. Her sophomore effort focused on grieving lost love and finding inner strength and sense of self despite the chaotic world young people (and everyone) face. I took that album very personally. I feel a bit vulnerable saying that because it seems way too intimate to admit that I have had my heart broken, embarrassing to have loved someone and lost them, but then, isn't that normal? Isn't that life? That album became my constant companion, cutting into my chest with each song, every lyric perfectly aligning with my own experience in an uncanny way. Lorde understood me.

The following spring, I had the best night of my life at her Barclays Center show, completing the album cycle with joy by dancing with her and Maura. Here is one of the videos from that concert. What Lorde says here is basically my favorite thing ever.


And then she disappeared.

I waited.

I wrote my senior thesis paper on how Lorde's genius lyricism speaks to the heart of my generation, tackling the unique problems we face in the modern age as well as the timeless issues and life stages we all go through.

I waited some more.

I worried that maybe she was done making music. She started out so young that perhaps she had decided that actually she wanted to do something different with her life, and we would not be hearing from her again.


Then, very slowly, she came back to us. I quickly signed up for her newsletter and it brings me so much joy every time I open my inbox and see an email from her. She calls us her SCWWTS (sensitive cuties who worship the sun) and I cannot think of a better way to describe myself. Lol Thank you Ella! Bless you. This summer, new music started to come out, in little trickles, until finally, Lorde's third album, Solar Power, dropped on August 20th.

Hence my holiday. It was a huge day. I had serious festivities planned.


But life is not that easy. If you peaked into my world a week before the album came out, August 13th, you would find a very cool and collected Mary Kate. Friday the 13th could not tear me down. I had big plans for my future, both work and pleasure related, that were coming to fruition. I was seeing a lot of progress towards my life goals. My planner was neatly crossed off, as I require it to be. I felt so in control and on target. I was eager for the future.

Yet, the day before the album came out, the eve, the big night of anticipation, I received disappointing news from various areas of my life. Suddenly, it did not matter how much progress I had made, I had not made enough and I had not made it as quickly as I should have. Plans I had looked forward to disappeared, and instead fear filled my future. Insert dread with anticipation and you got me.

And I was so mad about it because how dare they* do this to me the night before the Big Event! I had been waiting for this album drop all summer long and they tarnish it with this??! Sick! Twisted!

Well, I felt very out of control. Everything felt like it was slipping away. I had to either assert my authority now and force things back into the structure I had planned out, or accept what the universe had given me. Things happen for reasons that we do not know, to make sure we are on track for what is meant for us.

Embrace the chaos, as I always say.

Though I usually do not mean that when it comes to my Life Plans, I took a hard swallow and accepted that it applied here too. Unfortunately. Putting up a fight would do me no good.


Bad news aside, I am super stubborn and I was not going to let anything ruin my Solar Power Holiday. In fact, Lorde is generally a pretty good balm to any rain clouds in my life, so maybe her album releasing at that exact moment was a Godsend. I would have to see, or rather, listen. So, on the day of, I decided I did not care about any of that negativity. My party plans would proceed as originally scheduled.

I started the day off in the spirit of 'Mood Ring,' one of my favorite singles off the new album. I did a nice yoga routine as part of my workout as well as a solar plexus chakra balancing meditation. Key word 'solar' but basically that stands for self-confidence - love to see it.

The album came out at midnight, but did I listen to it immediately? No ma'am. It's like how I prefer Christmas Eve to Christmas Day. I was super excited for the album and could not wait to listen to it, and yet I did wait. Voluntarily. Building up the anticipation until I would explode. I Love surprises - you know, the good kind. Sometimes knowing there is a gift is an even more beautiful feeling than the unwrapped present. As much as of course I love the gift itself, it is the surprise and mystery and possibility that thrills me. Plus, I wanted to listen to the album in a mental space where I could devote my full attention to it. That meant I had to do all my chores and run all my errands before my listening party.


I was pumped. Lorde has synesthesia so every single one of her albums has a color. Green for Pure Heroine, violet for Melodrama, and now yellow for Solar Power. Yellow is my favorite color! How perfect! Naturally, I had to wear yellow. Yellow crop top, shoulder-length gold earrings, blonde hair loose and wavy - I felt adequately dressed for the festivities. Also, from what the pre-release had suggested, Lorde would be embodying the most cheerful color known to western culture while singing about self-discovery, friendship and finding paths to joy. It all seemed very promising.

I went grocery shopping to get some ingredients for the planned feast, picking up some treats along the way. Look at these flowers I got at the market! Aren't they so pretty? (Say yes.)

I also saw that they do açai bowls at my grocery store and, hello. There is never a bad time for an açai bowl in my book. They are one of my favorite foods. I figured that they are also in line with the healthy, happy goddess vibes Lorde was sending, so it seemed the perfect thing to get for lunch. I went with the almond butter açai bowl and oh my goodness. So good! The guy who made it was so fun, cheerfully whipping up the açai while singing along with Doja and Saweetie on the radio. I was like oh my gosh, what a cool, dude - let's be friends? Then I brought the bowl home to eat and it was phenomenal. I sincerely could not pick a favorite part. Call me amateur, but goji berries are not really a normal part of my diet, so I was not sure how they would taste. Fantastic! Such a lovely, somehow both tart and sweet flavor. Also, I saw almond butter and ordered immediately, not reading the full bowl breakdown. To my surprise, cacao nibs were included! So much fun. I sincerely could not decide what I needed to be in my last, best bite - banana, goji, almond butter, cacao, granola (the açai goes without saying.) So basically, all of it. Every ingredient was the best part. I have to say, I did well. As did my new friend at the açai counter. Go team.

You can only put something off for so long. Anticipation is only so sweet until it starts to burn. At some point, I had to sit down and dive into the music. As that moment approached, I must confess, I was scared. Not in an "oh no, maybe the album will be terrible" way. More so in the sense that, it was time for my imagination to sit down. The album was what it was, the truth had arrived, and it was time for me to open the door and find out what awaited me.


*Gulp*


I read Lorde's lovely little email letting us know the album was here (as if we could have missed it!) and telling us how much she loves us.

I took a breath.

I pressed play. **


Yes. In a word, my first response to the album was, 'Yes.' My favorite songs, upon first listen*** were 'California,' 'Secrets from a Girl (Who's Seen It All)' and probably 'Dominoes,' I would say. 'Oceanic Feeling' gets honorable mention. I have more to say about Solar Power, but I do not want anyone to pass out from hunger. Lord knows how I get when I am hangry. After listening to the record once through, it was time to start thinking about dinner.


Lemon Butter Pasta


So now, for the part you have all been waiting for...you know, the food. This is supposed to be a food blog, I believe. Consequently, I do have a meal for you as well as all this gushing about music. My friend Rebecca recently brought the professional food blog machine Half-Baked Harvest to my attention, and I have loved following it so far. Their recent post for Lemon Butter Pasta caught my eye and I had to try it for myself. Let's seeeee...lemons are summery and yellow, pasta is happiness in nutritional form, ricotta is light and frothy like a perfect summer day - wow, this sounds like the appropriate dish for the Solar Power festivities! You can find the recipe here.

As far as the cooking process goes, I must start off with a confession. In the first step, the recipe directs the cook to fry up Panko breadcrumbs. Well, I may have walked out of the market with a bomb açai bowl and a gorgeous bouquet, but there were no Panko breadcrumbs in my haul. In my defense, I did not forget to buy them, I simply could not find them anywhere in the store. So instead, I grated the edge of a sourdough loaf leftover from the grilled cheese I had made earlier in the week. Those were my breadcrumbs. Haters will call it "Not Following the Recipe," but I prefer the phrase, "Mastering Innovation in the Kitchen."

My God, I'd be a nightmare if I worked in marketing.

Oh wait. I do. I am an actor. The product I market is me!

Whoops!

Onto the next step. I mostly followed the recipe and, I have to say, it is super easy and quick, exactly as branded. I changed the bit about the lemons though. I know that this is kind of a big deal because it is, uh, lemon pasta, but I hate biting into lemon phlegm. I cannot stand the bitter zing of it. It is one of the most disgusting sensations to me and I do not know how people do it. They are stronger than I am, and I tip my hat. Yet, I love the flavor of lemon. So, instead of caramelizing the lemon slices in butter, I simply sliced the lemon in half and squeezed the juice into the skillet with the butter, melting it all down over low heat. Then, I set the lemon butter aside, later pouring it over the pasta before mixing in the zucchini butter sauce. It worked fairly well.

Oh, also, I swapped in garlic salt rather than the regular kind.

Dividing leftovers was a little interesting because this pasta is assembled in stages. I tend to make a lot of one-pot dishes where I can just portion the whole thing into Tupperware and my bowl. This time, though, I had to divide ingredients into storage containers based on their role in the assembly line. Reheating the pasta separately from the ricotta on my leftover nights also added an extra step, but it was not too big a deal. I would just say this dish is probably best fresh and may not have been the most straightforward choice for a girl who lives on her own.

Speaking of living on my own, the pot of pasta was so heavy that when I went to drain the angel hair I spilled water all over my kitchen counter and floor. The woes of not having a roommate: I cannot reach anything and my biceps are not up to the challenge of carrying a pot of pasta from the stove to the sink without endangering the entire kitchen. Fortunately, no noodles were lost in the making of this dish, but it was a close one. If anyone - preferably taller than I am (which is not terribly hard to accomplish) and with a bit of muscle - wants to be my assistant in exchange for free cooking lessons, I find that I am in need of a bit of help.

Anyway, we regrouped from there. I dolloped some ricotta onto a plate, sprinkled it with strips of basil, used tongs to twist the angel hair mixture on top, and decorated the plate with the caper breadcrumbs. Time to eat!

It tasted so yummy. The angel hair was the perfect choice - I would not recommend switching up the pasta type. The lemon sauce collects in the thin noodles so perfectly, the breadcrumbs add a bit of spice, and the buttery zucchini is really delightful. The zing of the capers may have been my favorite part, livening up the otherwise docile, buttery flavors of the dish. I would say that next time, since I do not add the whole lemon slices in, I will probably use two lemons rather than just the one to add to the sauce. That would pack a greater flavor punch. I knew that was a risk when I switched the recipe up and I never want to sacrifice taste, but again - lemon pulp texture freaks me out. I did what I had to do. If you feel the same, juice of two lemons, not one, and maybe add a bit more black pepper and red pepper flakes to keep the flavors of the dish lively and bright. I think this recipe has clear potential to become a staple.

I also had a slice of German chocolate cake a little bit later on and, I have to say, for grocery store cake, it slapped. The cake itself was dense, moist and had a nice, rich cocoa flavor. The frosting was thick and sweet without being too sugary, getting a nice honeyish touch from the walnut glaze. The coconut flakes topped it off so elegantly. I had a great time.


And of course, I spent the night chilling with Lorde.


Solar Power


Look, I do not want to be disloyal, but I have to be real. I was a bit worried about this album. I think when you really love an artist you are always a bit nervous about their next project. You know their potential and you want them to do well and you want people to like them. That is definitely the mentality I had for 'Melo' as well as Solar Power. Also, people had been complaining, increasing my nerves. We'll get to that more a bit later. Going into it, though, I was like, "look. You do not have to like this album, Mary Kate. Have an open mind. Allow Lorde her humanity too. Not everything she does will be genius, and that is okay. She is allowed to explore as she creates new work and it does not always have to be the right thing for you. As an artist, she is not obligated to make music that suits you perfectly. As a lover of music, you can be her fan without pretending to like a piece of work that is not really vibing with you." I wanted to form an honest opinion and have the freedom of feeling. I did not have to like Solar Power just because Lorde made it, but I also did not have to hate it just because some curmudgeon on twitter is a thief of joy. In this influencer age, I refused to be influenced.

And there was a lot of pressure because I have loved everything else she has ever done. She is insanely talented; the genius in the poetry of her lyrics, the intention that carries through every little detail of every album, the meticulous construction of every single sound in every single song, and the continuity between albums is incredible. She truly blows me away. Whether or not you like her music, Lorde commands mad respect as a musical artist. Studying her creative process and the stories behind all of her songs my senior year of college was fascinating. I felt like an explorer uncovering a cove of gems.

But what if I did not like it? Pure Heroine and Melodrama did such a good job of meeting me at my moment, but that is a super rare achievement. For example, I think Future Nostalgia by Dua Lipa is an incredible pop record, I cannot get enough of it, but honestly? I cannot personally relate to most of what she is talking about. It is just fun. With Lorde there has always been such a strong personal connection. That does not really seem sustainable though. It is certainly not a fair expectation to have of her music. We lead very different lives; it would make more sense for me to not relate to her.


And yet. She did it again. Amazing.


Since her last album came out, I have definitely become a lot more spiritual. I make it a big point to center myself on my life goals and intentions regularly, take care of my mental and physical health, and allow space for my emotions and instincts to breathe. I am certainly not perfect at it, but it has been my saving grace in the past year. Then Lorde comes out with this album that is all about reflecting on who she was and how she has grown. She also talks a lot about the environment and what we, as a collective, need to be paying attention to before it is too late - which is hugely important to me. There is this subtle idea woven throughout the track list that you need to show up for yourself and get clear on who you are, and then you can show up for other people and do your best in community. Three albums running, Lorde managed to hit me at my moment. That is pretty remarkable.

So yes, I like it. Is it my favorite Lorde album ever? Nope. Not today. That's okay though. When I am sad about life, I will put on her first album and when I am sad about an ex (don't do it!), I will put on her second album. Now, I have her third album to listen to when I am looking for groovy, contemplative vibes. The more I listen, the more I love it, and I cannot stop listening to it. Brilliant lyrics jump out at me. I notice cool sounds and connections sewn into the instrumentation. Editing this blog, I could not believe I had not put 'Fallen Fruit' and 'The Path' in my initial loves list. The fact that 'Big Star' is all about her dog, Pearl, who passed away is the most precious, heart-wrenching thing ever. There is so much value packed into this album. It is just different. The song that grips me the least, at this point in time, is “The Man with the Axe,’ but she says right in the lyrics that it is a love song. I have not had a crush in years. I really cannot say that the song's issue for me is anything more than that I cannot relate. And the lyrics of that song? Beautiful. I just know that track is going to grow on me too.

Most of the album, she sings to her past self or talks about hanging out with her loved ones. I love that vibe. I am very much in a personal growth and friendship phase of my life, so it is a lot of fun to listen to that captured in such a beautiful way. To me, this album sounds like a golden late summer night, when the sun is setting and you are at a beach house or otherwise outside. The air is warm, you're maybe on the back deck with your friends, having drinks and easy conversation, content with life in the present moment.

That is the best feeling. I love it.



And then we have the haters.

Like I said, this album is different. It is not exactly like her previous work and it is not like the music other people are putting out. I like the variety. I like that there is so much musical artists are offering right now, and I have eclectic taste.**** The differences make the soundscape such an interesting, inclusive place. It is actually quite fun that Lorde made a record that sounds different.

I think it is totally fair for Solar Power to not be everyone's thing. I rest assured understanding that not everybody will like what I like. That is okay. I think though, we really need to differentiate between "bad" and "I don't like it." Solar Power may not be your style, but that does not make it a bad album. The lyrics are not stupid. The composition is not a mess. The musicians know how to play their instruments. In fact, you can tell a lot of care and precision went into making the quality of this album. Yet some people are like, "Being happy is lame and all that peace and love stuff is nauseating. This is a bad album." How about, no?


In some cases of the nasty comments I have seen, I am just like "why is this even a problem point we are discussing?" Back when we had only one single - actually, even before that, back when whispers of the album started sneaking into the mainstream media - the predictions for the album were clear: It would be critically acclaimed but not the normal pop music that is all over the radio right now. This would not be a dance album that you could put on at a club, but much more of a play while you're cooking or tanning on the beach or in some other chill setting. It is easy, low-key music. This album would be even more chill than anything else she had done before. Natural sounds and instruments, rather than the more electronic tones of her past, make up the soundscape. They said the album would grow on you, requiring a few listens for you to capture everything and have it all really resonate.

To be fair, Lorde's other albums diverged from what was popular at the time and created something new, so that makes a lot of sense. And look, she has got some good songs to put on at a party or drive to at night or things that are a little more high-key, but she is not Tove Lo. She has never made club music. So, again, not super groundbreaking that this album is likely not going to be blasted at Lower East Side bars on the weekends.

To that end, can somebody please tell me why people are gasping in distress because they cannot play it at their pregame and they listened to it exactly one time and "don't get it"? ***** I just do not understand where their confusion is coming in. She was pretty clear about what she was giving us. Do you really listen to party music all the time? Do you never just chill? Should you, maybe?


I have seen some people say that the critics are being forced to give good reviews to the album and it is really trash, but I don't understand that. I mean, maybe there is corruption in the crit industry, but I cannot speak on that. What I don't understand is this whole 'trash' thing. From a musical perspective, the album is very mature, it is very creative, the lyrics are beautiful, and she references a lot of amazing artists. You can hear the influence from great music of the past and maybe that is the problem for some people? They don't know or like that music so they don't understand where she is coming from? I have just always loved "old" music so I appreciate her giving it a nod. Music critics are obviously much more musically educated than I am, so I think they would hear everything that I do and more. That would spark a genuine, good review - I think.


Some people are dissing the album because they say that Lorde should have been aware enough to not put out a happy record while the world crumbles around us. Oh boy. I mean, on one hand, yeah. I do kind of understand that. People are dying. Why are we frolicking on the beach? On the other hand, what is the point in festering? What? Are we supposed to combat misery by being miserable? Oh yeah. I bet that is going to go so well. Frowning in the corner of my apartment is really going to save the world. It is really going to show those conmen who are ruining all of our lives with their greed and exploitation. I mean, come on.

Plus, I would like to point out that she is not bragging about how much better her life is compared to everybody else's. That would be poor form. That would irk me. Instead, Lorde literally talks about the earth dying - not happy - and appreciating what magic the earth has to offer us while we still can. She reflects on what we must be inspired to save. And when she does have moments of contentment, she offers accessible happiness. The joy that she talks about is pretty manageable as far as materials required and steps to follow go. She is not singing about the free dress Chanel sent her and how Dom Perignon is like water to her. She actually pokes fun at that lifestyle. Rather, she sings about preferring the beauty of sunsets and walks with her dog and super pure, wholesome things like that. Also, fairly attainable things for the average person. I do not even know if the album is necessarily 'happy.' There is no song where she orders the listeners to cheer up. It is not a nauseatingly, in your face, smiling-is-the-only-option-allowed record. In the songs, she mostly ruminates on her life, sometimes in nostalgic and somber ways and sometimes with cheeky humor. The album explores the process of discovering how to be happy. I think that is a pretty worthwhile journey. She is finding joy in the little things and appreciating how she has matured. I love it.

Other people consider that another offense. Straight up, I saw somebody complaining about how Lorde is happy now. Like, how dare she?? This person had the audacity to express that they wished she was still sad so she would put out another moody album. What a heartless thing to say, for starters! Even when I am in a bad mood I want everyone around me to be happy. I just would like to join them in that feeling and cannot presently relate. So I don't really get the whole Wanting Someone to Sit with Me in Misery thing. I am actually really glad that she seems to be in a better place. She seems like such a lovely person. I have so enjoyed watching her interviews leading up to the release. She just beams out positive energy and is the cutest human. She deserves to be happy!

And like I said earlier, if I am having a hard time, I will just listen to one of the old albums. I do not need her to re-make what we already have! I love what she did with her past records but, as an artist, it is actually really frustrating to be told to recreate something you already made. Like, I personally, as a creative person, am offended by the suggestion. And Lorde is an artist, she's not an industry machine who churns out album after album with the right beats per minute and generic love messages so it will be easy to mix into a DJ's set. I really respect her for that. She has something to say.

Well, some people do not think she is saying anything in these new songs. I feel like we are not listening to the same album, I swear. I am twenty-four, and Lorde is twenty-four, and in my experience being twenty-four is waking up every morning and trying to fit loose ends together enough that I can get through the day. I feel like Penelope has her hands on the tapestry of my life, constantly unraveling it a little bit in the dark of the night. So, to me, Lorde’s lyrics fit this stage of life fantastically. We are all just trying to make sense of it all. The world is pretty messy too, so it a daunting task. She dedicated the album to climate change, one of the most pressing issues we all face right now, and people are say she is not saying anything. Hello?? Her subject is so important and so rarely discussed in mainstream art, so it is pretty cool of her to take that on. I only respect her more. The fact that she voices her concern without making it all doom and gloom is even cooler. I think committing to living with a joyful heart and remaining optimistic in spite of all the mess is an act of great bravery, in fact.


And as for the people who are mad that Lorde is not doing what she was doing when she was seventeen, well my God! If I was still behaving the way I did when I was a junior in high school, my life would be terrible and I would be cringing at myself 24/7. Now, when I was seventeen, I was shy and so nervous about upsetting anybody that I let the wishes of others dictate everything I did, not a speck of confidence to be had. Lorde was winning Grammys. So I get it, we are not the same teen, her seventeen year old self was pretty cool. Regression and arrested development does not look good on anyone though. Why limit her, or yourself, or anybody to what they once were? That is so stale. I love how Lorde steps away from the industry in between albums so she can retain some normalcy in her life. I think that is why she is still able to create such relatable music. She did not lose herself in all the trappings. As a seventeen year old, she did not let it all go to her head and lock herself in that life stage. And good for her for maturing and learning from her experiences! Isn't that what life is all about? Aren't we all supposed to be doing that? Growth is the best thing. It is lovely to see. And yet, people are offended that she has grown and are lambasting her for it. It is actually super awkward to watch because, by resenting somebody for evolving you're basically admitting that you haven't. So...maybe don't be so loud about it.


Living life with a positive attitude has been pretty big for me since I was a little kid. Which is not to say that I did not go through an angsty teen phase. I went through a doozy - ooh! You should have seen me in high school. Or actually, I am happier if you didn't. Still, I went through my angsty teen phase while loving daisies and the color yellow and thinking that being kind was the ideal route through life. And I know. I am fully aware that I was in a bad mood last week and I snap sometimes and some days rainclouds take up residence above my head. Here's the thing: now, this might shock you so I recommend sitting down for the news but...I am not perfect. I know. Mind-blowing, right? But we all have our Moments. Several times on the album, Lorde catalogues her own such Moments. We do not end there though. We regroup and eventually something makes us smile again. For me, living positively has been learning to not feel guilty about not being happy, whenever that occurs, and trying to bounce back faster. I think that is actually probably healthier than refusing to feel certain emotions. There will be no plastic smiles and false happiness here.


I feel like by enjoying Solar Power, I lose credibility with some people. I just don't think a person needs to be miserable in order to be taken seriously. You can make fun of me all you want, but here is the thing: I am the most content in myself (and therefore my life) than I have been since I was, like, five. Five was a fantastic year for me. The past decade? Ehh. Grateful. Some beautiful moments. Not the happiest time of my life. And yes, I know there is a pandemic. It sucks over here too. I agree with Lorde though. I am not going to sign a contract to devote myself to pessimism while we ride this out. That can break a person, and I simply do not want to break. So I will do the best with what I have. I will find joy in the little things. If it took a pandemic to force me to sit still and look inward, finally bringing me to a healthier sense of self, then okay. It took a pandemic. I am still not happy about all that we have lost but I cannot wallow. I would go crazy. And it just does not seem like it would help anyone anyway. Becoming consumed by anger and misery benefits no one. Take the moment you need, but don't let it take over you, is what I believe.

So while the world crumbles around us, I think we might as well just try to do what we can to enrich the soil, and then take a step back to admire what pretty flowers grow up from there.

People can hate Lorde for being happy. They can hate me for trying. I would just like to have a bit of fun and enjoy my life. I did not realize that this would be a controversial opinion, but I would really like to be happy.

Listening to Solar Power cheered me up so much, so thank you, Lorde!


Whether or not you like this new album or even care, I wish you all every happiness.

And a plate of really good pasta.


Which is basically the same thing.


Peace & Love, my dudes.


XX,

MK



*you know, the universe. The PIC

**God, could I be any more dramatic?

***not including the singles. I do enjoy 'Mood Ring' quite a bit, with 'Stoned at the Nail Salon' on its heels

****Recently, Spotify roasted me for having INXS and Nicki Minaj on the same playlist. Look, to me, it makes perfect sense.

*****I can actually totally see my friends and I dancing to this album at one of our pregames, but then again, we are SCWWTS.
