Don't Play Small
If it’s not making you money, making you happy or making you better, then you’re busy.
Author’s Note:
This post is all about music and vibes. I wrapped things up with a bit of prose to tie it together, like a thesis statement of sorts. Subtlety is Overrated owns everything: your man, her man, his man too, plus sits on a board, finds time for hobbies, and keeps up with a personal trainer. Rich, obviously, but not showy, with a taste that’s bold and a little wild, tickling your base instincts.
Standouts include: (content warning — extreme language and graphic imagery)
The legendary star power of Peaches pops severely on the raunchiest track in the playlist
New music from Victoria Monet, Tomás Matos, Claire Rosinkranz, and Marcus Antonio1
My favorite track from Charli XCX’s amazing “Wuthering Heights” project

Take the risk, apply and tell your story from the heart, ask for what you need.
In the same breath.
Send that text, reply to the sneaky link, shoot your shot in the DMs, post your thirst trap.
Overthink the good stuff knowing most of the bad is out of your control, complete one more set, match effort with effort.
Try on that outfit, strike a sexy pose and stick the landing, pull out those recipes, the books on your dresser, leave no room for half-stepping.
In the same breath.
Make a mess, flop on purpose, slide down the hill.
You are chosen. You are chased. You are decisive.
You are energy. You are radiance. You are appetite.
In the same breath.
You are hype. You are sun rays. You are devotion.
I heard about this artist thanks to Willam & Alaska’s “Race Chaser” podcast. They recently welcomed Sapphira Cristál for an extended Tip Spot, where she tells a throwback story — and I get name-dropped at 10:12.
