Pabllo Vittar's NYLON Nights Playlist Is Perfect For Every Occasion

Going out? Need a playlist? Then NYLON’s NYLON Nights playlist is here for you. Each month we invite a guest artist to curate an exclusive playlist that will keep you going from pre- to post-game. This April, Brazilian superstar Pabllo Vittar takes over.

Pabllo Vittar’s ideal party playlist has the range. In the Brazilian pop star’s curated selection for April, Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game” and Dido’s “My Lover’s Gone” sidles up to Bree Runway’s “Hot Hot” and Rina Sawayama and Vittar’s own club anthem, “Follow Me,” which themselves are tucked right alongside Brazilian band Charlie Brown Jr., and South African artist Sjava. Songs transcend eras, too, as electronic duo Ságan’s atmospheric 2015 record, “Caligula,” is immediately followed up by Nelly Furtado’s 2006 jam “Say It Right.” As Vittar herself tells NYLON about these tracks, they’re the songs she “shakes [her] ass to,” plays during a “long road trip,” uses to “make [her] calmer,” and listens to to be reminded of her “teenage years.”

It’s a surprisingly emotional selection from the hugely influential singer and international icon, who on April 16 became the first drag queen to ever perform at Coachella. While she’s been fairly well-known outside of Brazil for a while now — thanks to high profile collaborations with Lady Gaga and Charli XCX — her Coachella performance felt like a last stage for her to conquer before full-on world domination. And that does seem likely for Vittar — considering the intoxicating nature of her own music: slick, attitude-filled, and always fun. Where does this playlist then fit alongside her discography? Consider it the perfect emotional complement, for when the party dies down but you haven’t.
