A Toast To Our Goodbyes

Ciara featuring Nicki Minaj “I’m Out”

If it were up to me, this song would eclipse Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” and Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” to be the biggest hit of the summer. I like both of those songs, but they’re just a bit too mellow – I like my summer jams to be more brash and aggressive, and Nicki Minaj’s verses and Ciara’s bold hooks on this track totally hit that sweet spot. Also, in comparison to Daft Punk and Robin Thicke’s songs, which treat women like passive playthings from another universe, this track is all about assertive women doing exactly what they want. And, uh, womping on some girl your ex is dating now, but never mind that.
