ummm if you’re not over 18 I’d probably give this one a miss…

If youthful energy and vibrancy was a sound it would be Caity Baser. Known for her breakout bangers X&Y and Friendly Sex her latest releases:Why can’t I have two? And DILF, exude a similar ebullience. Listening to either are like staying awake into the early hours of a girls sleepover, a couple of margaritas and a few red wines into the night, a face full of chocolate and self care, all of us confessing our controversial crushes and flirtatious fantasies, a room full of laughter, an audible union, we have fun here.

Why can’t I have two hosts my favourite musical line of the year ‘man don’t like to share you nah, have you never heard of something called ménage à trois’ it defines the feel good fun, whiplike wit and insatiable sound that Baser has become renowned for.

Empowering and explosive ,Why can’t I have two explores adventurous sexual fantasies, why settle for one when there are so many options to fulfil your needs. Baser has said the song is about ‘when you fancy someone and then fancy someone else at the same time, which socially that is not acceptable. BUT I was thinking why on EARTH can’t we have two? When you like two people for different reasons why can’t you have two? It’s the debate I’ve been having in my mind and now you can think about it too. You can have two! Fuck it, have 3.”

The track is propelled by a soft drumbeat, lifted by Baser’s hard hitting vocals, you can hear her laughter in each syllable. This groovy pop beat banger will stay in your head all day, it’ll have dancing on your commute to work, toe tapping at your desk and on top of tables come Friday night.

DILF is definitely risqué, controversial and one you wouldn’t play at your boyfriends parents house but that’s what makes it all the more enjoyable. Baser divulges into a narrative, confessing feelings for a partner’s father, a DILFy distraction from a flirtatious fling. Lingering eyes are definitely bound to make the relationship awkward, if he’s looking at you but you’re looking at his dad, but Baser makes it fun in her no filter, sparklingly sharp way. The song itself is upbeat, with layered harmonies offering a comedic, choral element to it, its okay because everyone finds him fit. The sublime blend of melody and sing speaking to create that uplifting feel of familiarity, a call back to the noughties when Lilly Allen was Queen is what makes this track so delicious.

What makes it more sensational, DILF is based on a real life scenario, about Baser’s friends father who she described as “So hot – he was in the navy and it’s so distracting when I go over. I’ve never made a tune about DILFs before so I’m happy I’ve explored this concept and had so much fun when doing it too.”

Baser seems to be living her best life, building up her fan base and playing a slew of festivals including YNOT, Boardmasters, Reading and Leeds. Baser is the first pop of champagne on a Friday night, she is waking up and feeling fine after drinking several glasses, maybe a bottle or two, she is the cheers to youth and putting yourself first, reminding us that if it’s not fun its not for you.
