Remi Wolf – “Toro / Alone in Miami”
“To be frank, ‘Toro’ is a song about having sex in a hotel, and ‘Alone in Miami’ is a song about the week I spent alone in Miami during Art Basel – and is quite literally a detailed and accurate description of what happened while I was there,” said Remi Wolf on her ever-so-relatable new tracks. Her two new singles are packaged in a three-pack with “Cinderella.”
