This month Kacey Musgraves released her 7th studio album, Middle of Nowhere. Mauro’s taken a deep dive into it for this edition’s Mixtape article, and its title also gives us the starting point for this month’s Just for Fun game.
Here’s the deal:
Below you’ll find an excerpt of the lyrics to one of the songs from ‘Middle of Nowhere’, ‘Loneliest Girl’. In the middle of those lyrics you’ll find a single-word clue for a big piece of news announced for our team of Curators this week.
All you have to do is pick out the word you think it is and submit it via this Typeform.
I'm getting better at being alone
I could go days without seeing someone
I don't have to push anyone out of my bed
No awkward conversations that I don't wanna have, yeah
I'm the loneliest girl in the world
Good luck, and stay tuned for the results next month!
--------------------------------
We're back from the Middle of Nowhere with this month's results, and it turns out the loneliest girl in the world had more company than she let on, because plenty of you found your way to the answer!
The single word tucked into the lyrics of 'Loneliest Girl' was… PUSH! 🎵 You'll have spotted it hiding in the line "I don't have to push anyone out of my bed."
And the big news it was hinting at? The return of the curator-requested mission tracks! Curators can now request specific songs to be added to the Jukebox mission queue, and each week we'll push a selection through, with a focus on supporting the language communities that benefit most. It's a fresh take on a scheme some of you might remember from before, and we're thrilled to have it back. You can read the full story in the Curator Push announcement here.
Congratulations to everyone who pushed through and picked out the right word:
Misti Flowers, Nabin, Amelia G., Seppe, T. Fields, Noy M, Becca B, arnobio, keyerra mccrow, Thijn H., Antti (Candybar), Ivy O., KO, ThunderMite42, Thomas TKH, and Daniel F.
Thanks to everyone else who took part too! No need to feel like the loneliest player in the world, there's always next month, so be sure to tune back in for more fun!
