New Zealand artist, Venice Qin is back with her new single, RODEO STAR. To celebrate the release, the singer has curated an exclusive playlist for MILKY full of tracks that inspired the song.
“RODEO STAR is all about the surge of energy I feel when that perfect, super c**ty song comes on at a house party. It’s me, moving my hips, making eyes at all the hot, sexy people around, totally caught up in the moment. This track celebrates confidence and the joy of exploring your sexuality, all wrapped up in the drop-a** Y2K vibe. It’s about letting loose, embracing the playful side of life and not being afraid to show who you really are,” Qin shares.
BORN THIS WAY - LADY GAGA
I truly believe that this is one of Gaga's greatest masterpieces. Whenever anyone plays this at a party, I literally scream!! The passion and power behind this message makes me emosh. Gaga's championed so many minority communities, and I find that the most inspiring.
I'M EVERY WOMAN - CHAKA KHAN
When I hear this song, I remember my gorgeous dancer friends in Auckland waacking to it. They really pull out the fierce sensuality that is captured in this song. I adore it.
HOW TO BE A HEARTBREAKER - MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS
Whenever I listen and sing along to this song, I feel like I'm able to play this fun, bratty character. Call it escapism, I just think it's so much fun.
GIRL GONE WILD - MADONNA
Above all, Madonna is a dramatic queen in every way, and I love her for it. I took the opening dialogue of this song as a massive influence for the way I delivered the verses in RODEO STAR.
CLUB CLASSICS - CHARLI XCX
When this song came out, I literally started singing it everywhere. There could be a break in conversation with friends, and I would start singing it to fill in the gaps. More than anything, I love how intentionally nasty everything in the track is.
PINK PONY CLUB - CHAPPELL ROAN
One of my favs from Chappell. Rebellious, ridiculously fun, and whenever my friends and I sing it together, I feel like we're a part of something bigger than ourselves.
IMMATERIAL - SOPHIE
SOPHIE FOREVER!!! The dramatic vocals, production, lyrics, everything makes this the perfect party-girl song in my opinion.
MIDNIGHT SKY - MILEY CYRUS
Ok so I listen to this song when I'm annoyed at someone and I'm rage-walking. But seriously it empowers me like no other.
COTTON EYE JOE - REDNEX
Soo this was our reference for the banjo in the chorus of RODEO STAR. Obviously very stunning, moving, inspirational, sensational.
