I’ve recently fallen hard for matcha, which means I’ve been using every excuse to try a new cafe. This morning, I was sitting with one when a jazz song came on. You know when you’re like, “Wait. Don’t tell me. I know this”? That was me. I REFUSED to Shazam it and, five minutes later, it clicked: “Can’t Get Out of This Mood” by Samara Joy.

Which reminds me, we’re giving away VIP viewing and comped drinks for Samara Joy & Christian McBride at SummerStage this September. Enter to win.
