Much of the coquette-themed music we’ve heard this summer has been culled from the knowledge and taste of my niece Emi Lu. This mix veers slightly away from that true coquette aesthetic and into my own zany interpretation of coquette madness, hence its common title of ‘Coquette-Me-Not’. Here are songs that branch off from that pure theme into something hopefully just as fabulous, with a little harder beat to help get you onto your feet. So much of a coquette lifestyle is about lounging and longing – this one is about silliness and frivolity and dancing your ass off when things get vulgar…
While things get hot on the dance floor with cuts such as ‘Murder on the Dancefloor‘ and ‘Padam Padam’, there is a delicious cool down in a trio of coquette insta-classics: ‘Cherry’, ‘Rain’ and ‘Hot’.
