Forget about Carmen Sandiego and her theoretical whereabouts. Of greater interest to humans generally is the location of non-spy Mykki Blanco, who has more bravado than a lady in a wonderfully distinct raincoat and wide-brimmed hat, and who, despite having yet to release a debut full-length, has performed internationally enough to mimic the flight trails of the one and only Superman!! What’s Ms. Blanco’s kryptonite? Who’s her Lex Luthor? The enemies she does have seem to have found an unsurprising home in the spineless underbelly of anonymous YouTube comments, but we don’t really care about them. And neither does she, so more importantly, what’s next on the “music development” and having-fun front?
Why, jet-setting again and making the notorious lag look reserved for tourists and old people with undiagnosed narcolepsy. Separately, in the realm of distributed pleasure, Mykki’s just released a three-track EP Spring/Summer 2014, and the video for the new single “She Gutta,” directed by Jude MC (who’s worked with a fair number of awesome artists), has just been unveiled as well. Don’t ask me what it means though. Something to do with the inherent sexuality of eating push-pops?
Michael, Mykki Blanco’s debut LP, is due out… hmm, at some point this year.
