❄️🌀 THIS EP WAS MADE IN THE QUIET CHAOS OF A SNOW DAY THAT FELT RANDOM… BUT ABSOLUTELY WASN’T. A WEEK AFTER A STORM HAD ME TRAPPED IN THE POCONOS, THE SNOW SHOWED UP AGAIN LIKE AN UNINVITED ENCORE. THIS TIME, THOUGH, I WAS HOME, SAFE, STIR-CRAZY, AND READY. WINDOWS FOGGED. COFFEE ON REPEAT. MUSIC LOUD ENOUGH TO MAKE THE COLD FEEL OPTIONAL. HAPPY TO BE OUT. COUNTING THE HOURS UNTIL THE ROADS CLEAR AGAIN.

IT STARTS LIKE A CARTOON MORNING — BOONDOCKS KNOW WATCHU WANT FT. MARIAH CAREY — THAT ICONIC INTRO ENERGY SETTING THE TONE WHILE THE SNOW FALLS HEAVY AND THE WORLD MOVES SLOW. FROM THERE IT TURNS CONFIDENT AND COZY WITH BIG BOSS VETTE AND BLACKSTREET ON SNIGGITY, A LITTLE STRUT THROUGH THE APARTMENT LIKE THE SIDEWALK IS YOUR RUNWAY.

SUNSHINE ANDERSON AND DUA LIPA DRIFT IN WITH WANNA HEAR IT ALL [BEFORE], THAT FEELING OF REFLECTION THAT COMES WHEN YOU’VE HEARD THE STORIES, LIVED A LITTLE, AND STILL WANT MORE. HILARY DUFF AND SABRINA CARPENTER FOLLOW WITH THE ROOMMATE TASTE — PURE COMFORT POP, WINDOW-STARRING MUSIC THAT MAKES YOU GRATEFUL SHE’S BACK MAKING BANGERS WHILE YOU’RE STUCK INSIDE WISHING YOU HAD A TICKET.

THE CHEETAH GIRLS, KAYTRANADA, AND FLO BRING STRUT MOOD INTO THE MIX — GIRL POWER, SOCK SLIDES, AND LIVING ROOM DANCING BECAUSE WHY NOT. THEN CHLOE AND GIORGIO MORODER TURN THE WHOLE DAY INTO A MOVIE SCENE WITH DINER WATCH [KEEPING TOM] — LATE-NIGHT ENERGY, WATCHFUL EYES, AND A LITTLE NOSTALGIA FOR A VERSION OF THIS MIX THAT COULD COME BACK IF Y’ALL ASK NICE.

MICHAELA JAE AND PARRIS GOEBEL HIT WITH STICKY BABY HEART — ONE OF THOSE TRACKS THAT MAKES YOU MOVE WITHOUT THINKING, PROVING AGAIN THAT A SNOW DAY DOESN’T MEAN STILLNESS. THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS AND SILK SONIC CRACK OPEN DIRTY SECRETS OPEN DOORS, A WARM THROWBACK MOMENT THAT FEELS LIKE SINGING ALONG WHILE THE HEAT KICKS BACK ON.

THE EP CLOSES WITH DEION GILL AND JONAS BROTHERS ON COOL SWEAT! — A PERFECT EXIT SONG FOR WHEN YOU’RE READY TO STEP BACK OUT INTO THE COLD, AND THEN A BONUS BECAUSE I COULDN’T CHOOSE: MICHAELA JAE AND 2HOLLIS ON YOU STICKY. TWO VERSIONS OF THE SAME FEELING. TWO MOODS. BOTH UNDENIABLE. LET ME KNOW WHICH ONE YOU CLAIM.

IF ANY OF THESE TRACKS GO MISSING DUE TO THE SNOWY POLITICS OF THE INTERNET ❄️👀 — DON’T PANIC. CHECK THEM OUT ON MY TIKTOK, INSTAGRAM, OR YOUTUBE FOR THE FULL EXPERIENCE, ALTERNATE MIXES, AND VAULT MOMENTS THAT DON’T ALWAYS SURVIVE THE STORM. THIS EP LIVES IN MORE THAN ONE PLACE.

A PERFECT SNOW DAY IS FOR THE IN-BETWEEN MOMENTS — WHEN YOU’RE STUCK, RESTLESS, GRATEFUL, AND ALREADY LOOKING FOR WHAT’S NEXT. PRESS PLAY, STAY WARM, AND I’LL SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MELT. 🌨️🎧
