Every month, we bring you a special selection of newly released music in the OMG Playlist on Spotify (follow us @omgblog). This month’s playlist is curated by ED.
The end of summer can bring up some emotions in us, especially after collectively experiencing the trauma of a pandemic. Remembering the horrors of going into lockdown makes the bliss of gradually reuniting with friends that much sweeter, and although this summer hasn’t been like most, we’re all still finding ways to connect.
We hope this playlist of August new releases will be your companion as you dance away the last few days of summer.
This month, Missy Elliott and Madonna makes an appearance on the Blessed Madonna‘s remix of Dua Lipa’s “Levitate,” Jodie Harsh delivers a manic beat over sultry vocals that would probably sound good at a club if they were open, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion embrace their sexuality in WAP, and the Tiger & Woods remix of Sebastien Tellier’s “Venezia” captures the feeling of summer slipping through your fingers.
We ended the playlist with Peaches‘s brand new single “Flip It,” which is our new fav anger banger (we think this should be a genre) to sing at the top of our lungs in the face of widespread injustice.
