Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by Cheryl Waters, host of the Midday Show on KEXP, is "Fly To You (feat. Grimes and Dido)" by Caroline Polachek, from the 2023 album Desire, I Want to Turn Into You on Perpetual Novice.
New music from Caroline Polachek is exciting enough, but when it features collaborations with both Grimes and Dido, it's a mind-blower. In an interview with Vulture, Polachek says he wrote part of the song in Grimes' bedroom at 6 AM — "Just the two of us, in this very sweet session," she details.
As for Dido, Polachek wrote her a fan letter, asking for her involvement. “Her way of blending a quite natural, almost folk approach to pop singing with a very contemporary electronic production was very influential for me,” Polachek told Vulture. Following a FaceTime call days later (“I screamed and screen-grabbed it,” she admits), she traveled to Dido's home in Los Angeles where the two finished the track together.
