1) MICHELLE is a fresh musical collective hailing from New York City. Weaving in and out of R&B, Pop, Jazz and Indie sounds, the group of six pays homage to these genres through 70s inspired basslines, driving drum beats, plush synths and enticing vocals. Having recently celebrated their first year on the scene as an ensemble, MICHELLE is already solidifying itself as a strong current in a new wave of emerging NYC staples. MICHELLE’s unique stylings are the result of fine-tuned production and arrangements by Julian Kaufman and Charlie Kilgore, with singers Jamee Lockard, Layla Ku, Sofia D’Angelo, and Emma Lee churning out illustrative lyrics and powerful harmonics. Written and recorded in Kaufman’s bedroom over the span of two weeks, their debut album “HEATWAVE” captures a compilation of sentimental moments – snapshots of youth through a New York summer, all immediately recognizable to those who’ve lived them (and those that have wished to).

Ninety-five degrees
Craving some new nectar
Walking down the street, I see
Streetcar mango, dollar fifty
Cut it open, eat it with me
Streetcar mango, with Cholula
Streetcar mango, dollar fifty
Cut it open, eat it with me
Streetcar mango, with Cholula
C'mon, let me give it to ya
Late night out in prospect
See them and they're mine
Craving something juicy, something sweet
Mango dripping down my thigh
Wake up and I'm sweating
In a stranger's bed
Sneaking out the backdoor
Can't remember what I said
Streetcar mango, dollar fifty
Cut it open, eat it with me
Streetcar mango, with Cholula
C'mon, let me give it to ya

The lyrics to Michelle's song "MANGO" depict a summer day in the city, where the temperature is scorching and the singer is in search of something refreshing. The mention of the Q train on a Friday and the hot weather set the scene for a bustling urban environment. The craving for a new experience or taste is represented metaphorically through the imagery of a mango. The streetcar mango, which costs a dollar fifty, becomes a symbol of both indulgence and connection as the singer invites someone to share the experience of cutting open and eating the mango together. The addition of Cholula, a spicy Mexican hot sauce, suggests a desire for added passion or intensity in the encounter.
Later in the lyrics, there is a shift in the narrative, as the singer finds themselves waking up in a stranger's bed, feeling disoriented and unsure of what took place the previous night. This suggests a sense of spontaneity, perhaps fueled by the heat and the desire for adventure. The mention of mango dripping down the thigh adds a sensual dimension to the song, further emphasizing the themes of indulgence and sensuality.
Overall, "MANGO" captures a snapshot of a vibrant and slightly chaotic urban experience, where the singer seeks pleasure and connection amidst the summer heat.
