Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by Larry Mizell host of The Afternoon SHow on KEXP, is "Not My Boss" by Blue Hawaii, from the 2020 Under 1 House LP on Arbutus Records
With one member in Berlin and one in Montreal, Blue Hawaii fuses together a globe-spanning dance party with each new record. “Not My Boss” from their latest release, ‘Under 1 House,’ finds the duo bringing together sultry synth pads with classic house rhythms and battlecry: “You’re not my boss, I’m my own damn woman.” It’s the fuel to dance off frustration and find strength on the dancefloor.
