In a statement about the song, Rema said: “‘Calm Down’ is about the events that led me to finding love at the time. Now 21, he’s back with the single “Calm Down,” with something new to say about beautiful ladies. I just speak when I feel like it’s time.” My music might convey things about girls and beautiful ladies, but it’s still a statement about how talented you are, how diverse you are, and how far you’re gonna take the industry.

The visuals for “wild horses” - billed as a lyric video but seemingly a music video - paint a picture of that ecosystem, with Hues ambling near a mountain range, with other nature imagery spliced in and, of course, wild horses.

Hues announced flora + fana with the release of “wild horses,” a smooth and somewhat lyrically distant track at the beginning, Hues sings, “All of the grass has turned / You don’t come round no more / Not sure if I care / you never there / Go be a rolling stone.” This near-apathy is a tone shift from Hues, which was an emotive breakup album.įitting to its title, Hues described flora + fana in an interview with office magazine in naturalistic terms: “The music I make is an ecosystem,” she said, “It has all of the fixings to be sustainable on its own. Fana Hues: “wild horses”įana Hues is a fan of wordplay, especially in naming: Her self-titled debut in 2020, Hues, sounds like her family name, Hughes, and also signifies her desire “to capture all the different shades of one idea.” For her upcoming album, flora + fana, out March 25, plays on the nearness of “Fana” and “fauna.” “Billions” is Polachek’s first new music in 2022, following 2021’s “Bunny Is a Rider” and her collaboration with Christine and the Queens on Charli XCX’s “New Shapes” - a single from Crash, Charlie XCX’s upcoming record. The two tracks will be available on a 7” vinyl, currently available for pre-sale. Polachek released “Billions” with the B-side “Long Road Home,” a rework of her collaboration with Oneohtrix Point Never (which appears on Magic Oneohtrix Point Never ).

I don’t pick sides, I just live here, with you. Sometimes it seems pre-human, beyond morality, sublime. Sometimes it seems like ultimate tragedy, the earth being pillaged and destroyed for it.
