It Goes Like Nanana

Peggy Gou wrote the summer, and the field already knew the rest.

Peggy Gou’s “(It Goes Like) Nanana” landed on XL, and by Sunday it was the aux between here and the gorge. Not a drop so much as a whistle you already knew how to do: Italo sunshine with house posture.

She’s been the booth for years, Ninja Tune 12s and fashion-week afters, no gimmick required. Then a melody walked out of the club and into the field. You can be precious about crossover, or you can admit a hook this clean is why people still go outside.
