87. MUNA: “What I Want”
Not since Jonathan Richman’s “I Was Dancing in the Lesbian Bar” has a pop song so perfectly captured the bubbly joy of taking sips, shaking hips, and regarding leather dykes with love. But “What I Want” is about self-love too. MUNA singer Katie Gavin doesn’t want to just date a girl, she wants a girl to want to date her. The song hits hard on a dancefloor and even harder in a graffiti-spattered bathroom; face the mirror, freshen your lipstick, and mouth the hook: “There’s nothing wrong with what I want.”
It did make Stereogum’s! They’re #31 over there.From Pitchfork's EOY list:
Surprisingly the album didn't make the top 50 albums list.
Another US leg announced for spring/early summer... I wonder if this means we'll get a deluxe re-release of the album? It's not like they really need any new material to sell those tickets though. They sold out 3 nights in NYC last time around and the resale was a bit nuts for a band of their size.
Well that’s Coachella confirmed then.
