What will be the “One Dance” of 2017?
We were riding down the street bumping the song and singing all the words.
And the #MaskOffChallenge that happened on Twitter?
I’ve participated in [the memes].
It’s definitely the song of the summer.Perfume Genius:I was really into the flute.
you could’t understand anything Future says, so you have to pick something you recognize.
Is he saying “Percocet”?
This is one of my favorites on this list.
“Kissing Strangers” by DNCE feat.
This song doesn’t speak to me on a lyrical or melodic level.
“Khalid:Very bright, very fun.
They make such wonderful toe-tappers.
She lifts almost everything she hops on.Perfume Genius:Whoever wrote it has talent.
I feel like I did that!
Maybe I’ll do an ultra-pretentious serious cover.
“Bon Appetit” by Katy Perry feat.
Migos
“I’m the One” by DJ Khaled feat.
It’s probably going to be the song of the summer.
you might be a guy or a girl and sing along to it; it’s a universal record.
I’mobsessed.Khalid:I love this song.
Chance the Rapper has so much fun with his lyrics.
Justin Bieber’s hook is amazing.
Lil Wayne always brings his best.
He’s a beast as well.
With all these heavy hitters, it was meant to be a No.
I wish it were just that over and over for four minutes.
I think I’d enjoy it more than the rest of the song.
Everything he puts out is fire.
I can’t wait to hear what he comes up with next.
The guys are taking over right now.
I’m like, “Girls, come on, we gotta step it up!
The way he flows on it is very smooth and fluid, and Drake’s melodies are always awesome.
I love his tropical Caribbean and Afrobeat vibes.
Drake pulls that off very well.
He has brought light to the mainstream about how that music exists and is very good.
They all kind of blend together.
But I can never really be mad at Drake.
He just seems like he would smell really good.
I would appreciate a hug from him.
It’s just a feeling I have.
I don’t fight Drake.
And I think Sam Hunt is really hot.
[Laughs] I got the chance to meet him at Stagecoach [Festival].
We got on stage with G-Eazy and Snoop Dogg.
He was cool.Khalid:This song reminds me of when I lived in northern New York.
It was all lifted trucks, [off-roading], fishing, all that stuff.
This song really brought me a sense of nostalgia for my high school experience.
Once you find a [connection] to the music, it makes it more enjoyable.
I enjoy it.Perfume Genius:I really did not care for this.
I like country, but I don’t know how much I likepopularcountry.
It’s like he thought of this [concept] and wrote a list: Speed limits!
“Slide” by Calvin Harris feat.
Frank Ocean & Migos
“iSpy” by Kyle feat.
I love this record; it’s so easy, I can’t help singing it.
Don’t focus on the negative vibes!
That’s something I really gravitate toward.
If you listen to it enough, the lyrics are kind of fing weird.
It’s goofy and surreal.
Also, he didn’t rhyme anything with “Oprah,” which I think is classy.
You shouldn’t make a run at rhyme with “Oprah.”
It’s not something you’d expect her to do, and she killed it.
Her vocals are beautiful.Khalid:I’m a big fan of tropical house, and Kygo dominates that.
Selena has a very beautiful voice as well.
I like the [chopped-up vocals] because that’s something I wish I could do with my voice.
I’ve tried to do it before and it never comes out cool for me.
It has that fantasy element.
“Humble” by Kendrick Lamar
Bebe Rexha:Wow, incredible lyrics.
My mom knows who he is!
Kendrick will never let me down as an artist.
He’s untouchable with lyrics I love the “I’m so tired of the Photoshop” part.
There is so much power and charisma and it’s not mimicking either of those things.
It’s very real, and it could only come from him.
Is it my favorite Bruno Mars song?
But is it amazing?
Creatively, aesthetically, musically, dance-wise he’s so dope.
Some songs on this album are so unbelievable that this one was kind of a sleeper.
I love a good hook, and he is just really killing it in the hook.
You have to dance to it when you hear it.Perfume Genius:He’s so cute and sweet!
That’s a good combo.
And I like that he says the word “jammies.”
Coziness to me is the most luxurious thing.
