Beautiful people, it’s your favorite wanderlusty wayfarer Alejandro back with another scintillating recap of our latest fun-filled adventure–this time, in Malibu, California where we drove the impressive new 2021 Polaris Slingshot through stunning locales with celebrity guest Bow Wow along for the ride.
At first, I was hesitant to fly across the country during a surging pandemic but the Delta flight experience was actually pleasant with more space and less stress than usual.
If you choose to fly between now and 2021 2022, wear a face shield + comfortable mask (yes, I’m one of those people) and you’ll be fine.
Upon arrival at Malibu’s critically-acclaimed Surfrider hotel, we were treated like family by the nicest staff ever that seems to have perfected customer service.
It’s exactly where you’d want to stay after these pants-less months in quarantine and has a beach and several cool shops across the street.
At one point, while eating the swankiest locally-sourced breakfast in Malibu, I thought to myself: “you deserve this” before sliding on my mask, selecting a brand new helmet and driving through the sun-kissed gem that served as the perfect backdrop for our drive.
Polaris did an amazing job planning our route that took us outside the city, along the beach and eventually through the zig-zagging canyons that gave me a genuine feel for the best Slingshot to date.
Focusing on the drive, style and sound, the latest and greatest Slingshot upgraded AutoDrive transmission with paddle shifters, expanded color accent options with customizable LED interior lighting and added a new Rockford Fosgate® audio system with Apple CarPlay® integration while boasting the largest offering of accessory upgrades ever offered.
“In January, we promised our new 2020 Slingshot would be a game changer for consumers and dealers,” said Chris Sergeant, Polaris Slingshot Vice President.
“Based on the tremendous success we have seen this year, there is no question we delivered on that promise. We elevated the experience in every meaningful way and created a more accessible offering for people to enjoy the next-level driving experience only a Slingshot can deliver.”
With smoother gear shifts, bigger (and bolder) sound and an enhanced engine, the 3-wheel dazzler lived up to the hype that’s sure to attract a new wave of customers.

Overall, I highly recommend the 2021 Slingshot to anyone A) considering purchasing one (especially if they’re new to the experience) B) looking for something cool and customizable that owns the road or C) ready to take their pandemic joy rides to the next level.
Polaris listens to its customers and it shows with the additions, enhancements and upgrades.
They also made sure we were safe the entire time by providing masks and sanitation stations at the hotel. The planning, organization and snacks were impeccable. 10/10 COVID-safe trip, highly recommend.

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 makes a stand for afrobeat against corruption on latest release Na Dem feat. Tom Morello.
Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 deliver a powerful afrobeat statement with “Na Dem,” Featuring Tom Morello and produced by Femi Koleoso. The track has been a fan favourite even before its official release, and comes with the unmistakable spirit of protest, truth-telling, and social accountability that have long characterized Afrobeat’s most impactful moments.
The song’s heart is a direct challenge to corruption and the abuse of power. Instead of singling out one profession or institution for its critique, “Na Dem” identifies a larger culture of dishonesty, targeting bad lawyers, bad doctors, bad politicians, and anyone who would sell their integrity for personal gain. The message is sharp and uncompromising and delivered with the urgency that has become a hallmark of Seun Kuti’s artistry.
The inclusion of Tom Morello adds another level of intensity to the record. His presence adds to the song’s rebellious energy, creating a powerful intersection between the rhythmic activism of Afrobeat and the confrontational edge of rock. The result of the collaboration is a track that is both timeless and of the moment.
The song’s dedication to principle is what rings true. The moral center of the record is Seun’s statement that he would never prostitute his conscience for money. It turns “Na Dem” from a critique into a declaration of personal values, responsibility, and resistance.

Marsha Bartenetti reinvents in her own style “New York Minute”
Marsha Bartenetti’s latest release, “New York Minute,” written by Don Henley, Danny Kortchmar, and Jai Winding, offers emotional depth, turning a timeless look at life’s fragility into a reflective, cinematic journey. Stephan Oberhoff’s arrangement perfectly frames Bartenetti’s voice, and Kevin Bate’s expressive cello adds a warm resonance that makes the track feel like a movie.
The way each instrument sounds makes it feel planned, which lets the listener stay in the fleeting moments the song so beautifully describes. Bartenetti’s singing is the best part of the song. She shows an openness that feels real, as if she has lost something and still fully embraces love and presence with complete honesty. Her choice of words and small changes in tone make the lyrics feel even closer.
“New York Minute,” is a new version that pays tribute to the original while showcasing Bartenetti’s own style. The movie-like instruments and heartfelt vocals make the song feel both personal and universal. It makes us think about how hard it is to let go and hold on.
