Dear Gossips,

My current favourite song has been my favourite song for less than 12 hours. But I will not be listening to anything else for days, at least. And right now, if I had a vote, it would be the Song of the Summer. I am so obsessed I wanted to run through a wall the first time I heard that new bridge, OMGGGGGG.

On the off chance it wasn’t obvious, I’m talking about Ariana Grande’s “The Boy Is Mine” remix featuring Brandy and Monica. Their vocals, and the harmonising, and the big 90s R&B energy that’s all over the updated version of this track, the F-CKING INTERPOLATION OF THE ORIGINAL AT THE END, you can hear it clearly but it’s still so subtle… this is when you don’t need it to be thumping to get you hype.

I mean all of that would be enough. But the we also got a video of a little moment between Brandy and Monica giving it up for themselves and also blessing Ariana. “I rocks with Ariana” is what Monica says before they both talk about how legit her voice is. Really, though, Ariana and the rest of us all know here that the main characters are Brandy and Monica because they are doing some queen sh-t on this remix, elevating the song to a place only they could take it.

If you haven’t heard it yet, it would be an honour for me that your debut listen will happen at this site. Get ready to get your life rocked!

But don’t isolate the bridge until you’ve heard it all the way through. Once you’ve done that, now appreciate that bridge:

And….repeat, repeat, repeat!

Let these women set the tone for your weekend.

Yours in gossip,

Lainey
