Song of the Year: Mario Kart Contigo
Sometimes the algorithm blesses you with the digital equivalent of finding buried treasure in your backyard. This time, it wasn’t some cursed creepypasta or another YouTube conspiracy deep-dive. I’m hit with Mario Kart Contigo by LAURASAD.
In some parallel universe where reggaeton, hyperpop, and surreal meme-culture meet, Laurasad is the queen we didn’t know we needed. And let’s be clear. This isn’t just some cute gimmick. This track slaps. It’s got enough earworm appeal to destroy any semblance of sanity, and I’ve already downloaded it for posterity (because you know Nintendo’s lawyers will find a way to nuke it off the platform if they catch wind of Mario being associated with passing STDs).
1. si yo soy peach y tu mario 2. ya no me llames amor
te doy mis ovarios si ahora usamos condon
eres mi sicario me da miedo una infeccion
hazme un chamaco
y le ponemos baby mario mario kart contigo
Let’s start with the basics, which, frankly, aren’t much. She’s a girl. She’s living in Argentina. She popped up in a music video for this rapper named Zell in which she was one of several models. For the record, I think that song (Starboy) is also worth listening to, but I’m telling you: that’s not why we’re here.
Her YouTube channel, before the song drop, offers an abstract glimpse into a normal person's life, filtered through her love for distorting visuals and layering audio effects over clips and vlogs captured on her phone. You can tell she has a dog, and she seems to live with family or friends. Aside from the occasional behind-the-scenes footage of her at photoshoots, she comes across as a relatively normal person. Definitely not someone pursuing a music career. Still, there’s an undeniable artistic flair in these seemingly random uploads.
She’s only just posted her follow-up song, which I’ve already got on repeat, hoping she’s not a one-hit wonder. This girl is the ultimate wildcard: mysterious, beautiful, talented, and delightful. I will murder anyone who does not like and subscribe to her. What’s her next move? Who knows. But for now, I’m just gonna sit back, play Mario Kart in her honor, and hope she keeps uploading.
