GAYLETTER

I don’t listen to the radio because this is the age of the aux-cord, duh! I also don’t listen to the radio because Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran are boring, but if radio stations played Megan Vice (which they should!), I would listen a helluva lot more. Her latest single, All of the Time, off her new EP out July 15th is “reminiscent of an early Janet Jackson, [it has a] Lisa Lisa Cult Jam sound.” With a steady synth beat and Vice’s sultry tone, “All of the Time” calls to be played on repeat at a pool party, or something in the sun. “I wanted these songs to take a spunkier, gutsier turn from some of my previous material… I was born at the wrong time… I should have been dancing with Downtown Julie Brown on the platform stages of Club MTV!” That said, Vice’s sound fits in perfectly with the retro synth take many alternative pop artists are taking. This new take on a synth melody strikes a nostalgic chord with Millennials whose knack for a synth record comes from a generation of parents who peaked in the 80s. I owe half of who I am to my Mom and her need to play Soft Cell’s Tainted Love more often than not…

“The album’s first single, ‘All of the Time’, is about being into someone and owning the attraction with every fiber of your being.  ‘It’s inspired by a relationship I had with a friend where there was a lot of sexual tension,’ explains Vice. ‘He lives in LA so it was mostly a digital thing where we’d flirt heavy via phone and text.  We were constantly teasing the idea of hooking up and dating for real, if and when we found ourselves living in the same city.  So the song was a product of all the built up sexual energy I had at the time.”

Perhaps this is why I want this song on repeat, because it’s derived from some really good sexting, which, in Vice’s case, she wants all of the time. I’m with you, girl. Good sexting doesn’t get old. Neither does this song!
