As someone who is coming to terms with enjoying pop music, Miya Folick's latest single is a revelation. "Erotica" has just enough of a singer-songwriter organic vibe to satisfy the music snob in me, but this is a glorious pop song. It isn't quite a club banger, but it's definitely a song that's going to inspire dancing. This is the type of song that has me questioning how much I've been missing out on by rejecting pop music. It's simply that good that I'm rethinking the last thirty years of music taste. If you love singer-songwriter based pop, "Erotica" is a dream come true. If you normally don't enjoy this genre, be prepared to join my on the bandwagon.

Miya Folick says of her latest single:

"'Erotica' is a song about fantasy and pleasure - It’s not just about sex, it’s about a richness of experience, a playfulness, a connection, an open approach to each day. I think that we’re fed rules about what an appropriate fantasy looks like, especially when you’re coupled. Our culture is so puritanical in that way. But I think that it’s important for me to retain my autonomy of thought, and truthfully sharing my fantasies is an act of tenderness and intimacy."
