CIVL’s Aaron Levy has four summer songs that should last you all the way to Christmas!
Doja Cat – “Agora Hill”
Though last Halloween’s “Paint the Town Red” may have announced the newest era of Doja Cat’s triumphant return, it’s this track, announcing her new “hot and heavy” — and relatively public relationship — that has me marvelling over her rizz, staying up late thinking about this man with big hands.
Megan Moroney – “Indifferent”
Another pre-2024 release, this song is the antithesis of “Agora Hill.” There is a resolute lack of emotion in regard to a previous flame. Easter eggs include the chorus on the simple lyric “so” which precedes the word “indifferent,” and the pointed omission of the f-word following “truck.”
Mac Miller ft. Empire of the Sun – “The Spins”
The late Mac Miller was never shy of excess, hedonism, and the fruits of near-unimaginable levels of what The Game and Drake’s near-decade old hit “100” might dub “success and accomplishments.” This song revels in it all, employing lavish veneer like Empire of the Sun to spit his endearing tramp energy over.
Polo Brian, Snotty Nose Rez Kids – “Wild Boy”
“Polo,” as he’s casually referred to, was a big get for Jam in Jubilee After Dark this year. Polo closed out the 15th annual Abbotsford tradition at Townhall on the newly minted outdoor patio stage this past summer, lighting the night up all the way to Mill Lake.
