A friend lamented to me she had no official song of summer. My summer can be wrapped up in a tune by Ms. Becky G, called "Shower." I like the beat and how the callback in the chorus reminds me of 80s tunes by Martika. My runner-up song of summer would be "Boom Clap" by Charli XCX. Talk about 80s! Though I wish it was called "Boom Crash." "Boom Clap" makes me think someone suddenly got gonorrhea.
You may be wondering why I posted "Becky from the Block" instead of "Shower." The reasons are as follows:
To recap, my girl of summer is Becky G. I like her spunk, her fashions, and how she reps Chicanas and Inglewood. I hope she stays true to her roots, doesn't allow herself to become too overproduced, and lets her talent speak for itself. The last time I hoped young talent would prosper it was Justin Bieber and we know how that turned out.
You may be wondering why I posted "Becky from the Block" instead of "Shower." The reasons are as follows:
- "Becky from the Block" gets down.
- It's filmed in Inglewood, California.
- There's a surprise at the end.
- "Shower" is a dull video (filmed in an Eichler) with repeated product placements for Cover Girl. No likey.
