Zapatos de Girasol

by Luna Vega

Two sunny balcony-born hooks about stepping out of the house feeling golden: one on two wheels, one in brand-new yellow shoes.

Tracks

  1. 1. Sunflower ShoesThis is the A-side because it's the song that makes me feel the most like myself: confident, a little cheeky, and dressed in yellow. I hummed the hook for a week before I wrote down a single word.latin pop, bedroom pop, reggaeton-lite2:21
  2. 2. Bicycle Bell MorningThe B-side is the morning ride that gets me out of bed. I recorded the bell on my own bike, and yes, the neighbors heard me take it eleven times.latin pop, bedroom pop, y2k pop2:12

Liner notes

I wrote both of these on the balcony with the morning sun hitting the tiles and a bike bell going off in the street below. I wanted songs that sound like leaving the house when you're in a good mood and you know it. The yellow shoes were real, by the way. They sat in my closet for a year until I was brave enough to wear them. Put these on when you're getting ready and let the day come find you.
