about
Beat make, Shash'U from Fool's Gold joins me on this nostalgic "LA in the 90's" love ballad. We are both originally from Montreal, and "88" was an opportunity to connect my Harlem living with that Montreal-funk feel.
The story depicts a deep romance between myself and a skater-boy. While he's skating up and down Lenox Street, I daydream about experiencing his magic for a short-lived moment.
It's a sultry, sexy and powerful hymn to summer romances.

LYRICS
When we slow dance
When we romance
My mind be wondering in places I been
You are some kinda special
I see by the way you carry yourself
You are some kinda rebel
I see by the way you look at me
You gotta behave, baby
Cause I could lose myself
In this magical spiral of lust
Oh, I could truly, truly lose myself
When you light my body, baby
When you slow dancing on me
Skating up and down Lenox Street
Uptown vibes is what I need
Kiss me on my neck, pretty please
Summer nights high is what I feel
Skating up and down Lenox Street
Uptown vibes is what I need
Kiss me on my neck, pretty please
Summer nights high is what I feel
Oh, oh na, na, na
What I feel, what I feel, yeah
We are some kind of magic
You descending from the sky
And I’m climbing up your tree
We are some kind of wicked
When you hurt me with your touch
And I’m floating up above
Cause I could lose myself
With this smoking gun of lust
Oh, I could truly, truly lose myself
When you shoot at me, baby
When you kill me gently, oh
Skating up and down Lenox Street
Uptown vibes is what I need
Kiss me on my neck, pretty please
Summer nights high is what I feel
Skating up and down Lenox Street
Uptown vibes is what I need
Kiss me on my neck, pretty please
Pretty please, pretty please, pretty please
Don’t make me open up that door, no no
Just sex me slowly on the floor
Don’t bang on that door no, no, no, no more
Just undress me, what you waiting for
Skating up and down Lenox Street
Uptown vibes is what I need
Kiss me on my neck, pretty please
Summer nights high is what I feel
Skating up and down Lenox Street
Uptown vibes is what I need
Kiss me on my neck, pretty please
Summer nights high is what I feel
When we slow dance
When we romance
My mind be wondering in places I been
When we slow dance
When we romance
My mind be wondering in places I been
When we slow dance
When we romance
My mind be wondering in places I been
Places I been, places I been, place I been
When we slow dance
When we romance
My mind be wondering in places I been

Montreal-born and New York-based music artist Mimo reps Harlem and the 514 on the daily. When it comes to music, Lo-Fi
vibes, flowing poetry, Neo-Soul—with an alternative R&B feel may be the closest terms to define her sound. Mimo’s style is essentially a blend of heartfelt music, reflecting her essence: something she casually calls “Street Jazz.”...more
