With its twangy guitar riffs, caramel-smooth bass and joyful brass section, the retro-flavored bop hearkens back to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fI569nw0YUQ\" target=\"_blank\">Cheryl Lynn<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Gs069dndIYk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Earth, Wind &amp; Fire<\/a> \u2014 which is no surprise since the group\u2019s bassist Verdine White is one of the song\u2019s co-writers. It\u2019s the kind of track Rodriguez\u2019s character Blanca might have grooved to while cooking dinner for the unruly children of the house of Evangelista on the 1980s and early \u201990s set <em>Pose<\/em>. It\u2019s also perfect for your poolside playlist.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to believe that just a couple days ago, we were reading about Rodriguez telling a group of fellow actors at <em>The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>\u2019s annual Drama Actress Roundtable that she had been <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/cynthia-erivo-mj-rodriguez-call-me-by-your-name\/\">worried<\/a> about getting another role once <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/pose-premiere-red-carpet\/\"><em>Pose<\/em><\/a> wrapped its third and <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/pose-season-three-trailer\/\">final season<\/a>. Even as opportunities for Black and brown trans people increase in the entertainment business, wondering whether the next gig will come along has got to be stressful. Clearly, Rodriguez needn\u2019t have worried. Last month, it was <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/mj-rodriguez-maya-rudolph\/\">announced<\/a> that she\u2019ll star alongside Maya Rudolph in the upcoming Apple TV+ comedy <em>Loot<\/em>.
