Mykki Blanco shares new single “Summer Fling” ft. Kari Faux

Mykki Blanco has shared a new single, “Summer Fling” featuring Kari Faux, which is taken from Mykki’s highly awaited mini-album, Broken Hearts & Beauty Sleep, out on June 18th via Transgressive Records. The song was inspired by the millennium musical production of Missy Elliot and Timbaland.

Mykki reveals: “I wanted ‘Summer Fling’ to feel like a song I could have heard at my middle school dance, maybe it’s because those were the years in which I was coming of age. Y2K aesthetics still influence me heavily at some point in the creation of my songs. I always feel like the Y2K vibe haunts its way into the room and makes its presence felt on my records. “Summer Fling” is essentially about ghosting someone, it’s a playful song about the weird ups and downs of dating. I loved writing this song and it got even better when I recruited rapper and vocalist Kari Faux to be on the track. Kari’s delivery is slick and charged up, she takes no prisoners with her bars. She adds a layer of bravado and feminine mystique to the song. In addition to her verse that she wrote, she also contributed to the writing of the hook.
