Want Want

This song is about sex. No real other way to say it. It's a song about really wanting to have sex with someone and then doing it.
And enjoying it. And wanting to do it again. It's also about
a sense of sex that can be just for yourself and no one else.
The power of prioritizing pleasure. Sensuality. A way of being in relationship with the world that is about full bodied experience.

Want Want started in Maine during the pandemic in a small
studio assembled over my parent's garage. I wrote and produced
it with my old bandmate, Del Water Gap. It was really just about
the fun of it all. Some bubblegum world to escape to in the
middle of the isolation and darkness. It took me three days of
writing and re-writing the chorus to finally feel like I had it, that
perfect nursery rhyme hook.

The song found its final form over the next year and a half,
editing and re-editing with Kid Harpoon until we found the
perfect knock your teeth out drums, the right growl of the guitar
tone. That roaring synth, it's just a Prophet stock sound, but it
always reminded me a little bit of the intro to "Iron Man' by Black
Sabbath. The right amount of bite that still invites you in.

The video is about that sensuality. About embodiment. About
freedom. It was directed by Warren Fu and we shot it in one of
my favorite NYC karaoke bars in Koreatown. Sticky floors and
florescent lit bathrooms. Everything in its right place.

I'm typing to you now from my backyard in Los Angeles.
Hummingbirds to my right and helicopters circling overhead.
There's a lot going on in the world right now. Grief feels like
a tidal wave and fear's an iron too hot to touch. These are not
ordinary days or ordinary times, but we've been living in this
dystopia for so long it feels like all I can do to get through the
day sometimes is give in to the numbing out.

I know the shape of my anger and the weight of my fear. And
I don't quite know what to do to fix it. But I know what I want

I want the well earned sweat of a night spent dancing.

I want to feel my lover's mouth on my shoulder.

I want to slow sip a Negroni on a summer sidewalk and
let my sandals dangle off my toes.

I want the people I love to feel their full human dignity
supported and re-asserted by the world around them.

I want to never see my mother cry.


These days I see feral joy as an act of rebellion. As a sensual
assertion that says, "I°m alive!

Keep creating. Keep yelling. Keep crying when you need.
Be gentle with yourself. And know that I'm feeling it all.
Right alongside you.

As mine as you are yours,
Maggie

PS - UK+ EU, see you this fall :)

[Elusive Chanteuse]

I’m thrilled it’s finally Top 50. Although a part of me feels like it would’ve had a faster climb if Capitol decided to send it for adds around right now instead of early in its run at Alternative and AAA.

I only say this because she’s relatively a nobody on Pop and if going for adds right now Pop would’ve had the incentive to add it more since it’s Top 20 on both of these formats. Know what I mean?

[Deleted]

Can they send out a banner of sorts enticing radio programmers?

[rainie]

oh wow i didn't even think this would chart here. get that unexpected crossover smash maggie !!
