In summer time, we get together, we dance, we love. We attempt to pack in as a lot bliss as attainable, as if the solar will at some point cease shining, your favourite ice cream spot might discontinue your favourite taste or Taylor Swift will not launch one other album ever once more. Summer season feels infinite, but additionally rushed in its impermanence — each second lasts in reminiscence, however disappears faster as days grow to be shorter. Roséwave bottles that infinity with a soundtrack that spans generations and genres of music, celebrating the feels, friendships and fizzy drinks of summer time.
“That is the perfect day ever!” exclaims the blonde, not-so-everywoman (performed by Margot Robbie) in a celebration scene from Greta Gerwig’s Barbie film. “And so was yesterday and so is tomorrow and daily from now till ceaselessly!” Not solely will we see the cracks in her improbable, plastic world as she contemplates eternity, we really feel them. Barbie holds a shiny compact mirror to actuality and everyone is freaking out.
This, too, is how the season can really feel: existentially pink. We maintain a lot promise within the easier pleasures of summer time that, by comparability, the humdrum of the on a regular basis feels much less… rosé. (Sorry, I could not assist myself.) However each issues could be true. Even when holidays go awry, relationships pressure or your favourite restaurant closes, there are nonetheless glimmers of goodness and makeshift galas to be glamorous… even when just for an evening.
For Season 7, roséwave leans into the Greatest Summer season Ever, an aspirational theme that holds house for the perfect of life and the messiest of life. We open with Reyna Roberts’ ridiculously enjoyable romp (“Nation Membership”); restrict ourselves to simply two cuts from Barbie: The Album (Karol G‘s “WATATI” and Charli XCX‘s “Pace Drive”); we do not step, we do not stroll, we do not dance, however float like Janelle Monáe; we bear in mind fashion and sound icons Tina Turner, Rita Lee, Astrud Gilberto and Jane Birkin; we dance to Jam Metropolis, Romy, Peggy Gou and TWICE; we sundown drift to Tainy, Amaarae and KAYTRAMINÉ. We shut with George Michael‘s everlasting “Freedom! ’90” and heed his knowledge: You bought to provide what you’re taking.
