"Boyfriend" rides on a kind of victory: the ecstasy of telling the truth. Sara Quin of Tegan and Sara revealed her brand new baby with her partner via the band’s official social media on Tuesday (August 2). So Jealous, with its singular mix of daring harmonies and pop hooks layered with New Wave synth, garnered Tegan and Sara, the one-time folk fiends, critical. "You call me up like you would your best friend/ You turn me on, like you would your boyfriend," goes the chorus as it plants itself firmly into your skull, "But I don't wanna be your secret anymore." It is inspiring to hear a band that's existed so long come into their own like this, finding new ways to manifest their identities into song. They later toured extensively with Young, The Pretenders, Rufus Wainwright, Weezer and Sarah McLachlan’s Lilith Fair - all before releasing their breakthrough album, So Jealous, in 2004.

(And it makes 2015's "Cool for the Summer" sound dated already.) In a recent interview, Sara explained that "Boyfriend" was written about the beginning of her current relationship-her girlfriend had never dated a woman before, and was still involved with another guy. For the last few months, Tegan and Sara Quin have been in their hometown of Calgary, Alberta, teaching a pair of twin, queer 21-year-olds how to become Tegan and Sara.

When Sara sent me the demo for this song I was SO excited. More than anything on Heartthrob, its sleek bubblegum fits neatly into our current pop landscape and its debt to Robyn.

Heartthrob's stunning "Now I'm All Messed Up" heeded that call, but the first single from the upcoming Love You to Death raises the stakes even higher. Bear in mind, this band opened for Cyndi Lauper nearly a decade ago. Razor-sharp intimacy and supreme catchiness have always been their trademarks-you could imagine anyone from Sky Ferreira to Katie Crutchfield cooly lamenting over a proto- line like "I wouldn't liiiike me if I met meee." Their unassuming deep cuts like 2002's "Not Tonight" or 2007's "Nineteen"-songs about privately harbored emotions-could easily be reworked as stadium-sized ballads.
