Hello, world. I'm Zade Voss. Zade is pronounced zah-DAY.Thank you for having me, Jaxy.She thanked me. In person. With consonants.
|
My mom raised me in New Jersey. Her rule was simple: stay humble, however loud the applause gets.Stay soft even when the lights are bright.I'm writing that on my heart. Metaphorically. My stylist said no more markers.
|
Today: my five pop picks for the 2026 playlist. Not a chart countdown— songs I think leave a mark.And none of my own songs. I am being extremely humble, Jasky.A historic achievement in humility. I'm witnessing it.
|
Influence matters to me as much as popularity. A song can change the conversation—or just change who's allowed into it.And the choreography?Apparently, my body has prepared a separate presentation, Jassy.
|
First: Ariana Grande, 'hate that i made you love me.' I hear a messy emotional question—not a neat love story.I chose it because it makes me think about what happens when private feelings become public property. Fame doesn't make your heart a public park.
|
My pick for love with complicated boundaries.
|
Next: Shakira and Burna Boy with 'Dai Dai.' My reason is the meeting point: Latin pop energy and Afrobeats rhythm.I love a track that makes a shared dance floor feel possible. Different musical roots don't have to compete to be heard.
|
My pick for a dance floor bigger than one genre.
|
My third pick is RAYE's 'Ice Cream Man.' Content note: this song addresses sexual violence.I chose it for the space it gives survivor testimony. For me, influence can mean making room to listen—not making the loudest noise.
|
My pick for listening with care. Pausing or skipping is okay.
|
Fourth: Ella Langley, 'Choosin' Texas.' Yes, country gets a seat at my pop table.I chose it because a strong story doesn't need a genre passport. I want a playlist where a country heartbreak can sit beside a dance track.
|
My pick for a story that travels beyond its genre.
|
Last: Katy Perry, 'The One That Got Away.' My 2026 playlist has room for an older song.I chose it for the way nostalgia hands music to new listeners. An old chorus can become somebody's brand-new memory.
|
My pick for an old song finding a new personal meaning.
|
Five picks. Five different reasons to listen. And somehow I got a private dance masterclass.Thank you, Jaxsy. Stay soft even when the lights are bright.She gave me another limited-edition name. Best day ever.
