"I THINK I LIKE IT" reads like a thought said out loud before the decision is final. It is also the fourth track on JUST BE WEIRD JUST BE QUEER, the six-track EP that A Boy Named Barbara released on October 16, 2026, through Barbara Records, and it is the only track on the EP that brings in Nikky Bourbon. The track runs just over two minutes and is available on Spotify, Apple Music and Beatport.
Meet Nikky Bourbon
Nikky Bourbon started out as a songwriter for other artists before stepping out as a solo act, as Nikky Bourbon told CanvasRebel Magazine. Singles under the name include "Yippie Khayo" and "Diosa" from 2022, and "Close" and "Don't Let Me Go" from 2023, the last one shared with Stylolive. Apple Music files those singles under Pop Latino, and older guest spots show up as "feat. Nikky Bourbon" credits on tracks like "Mr Bus Driver."
The streaming credits do not spell out what Nikky Bourbon contributes to "I THINK I LIKE IT," so we will not guess. What we can say is that the pairing puts a songwriter whose singles Apple files under Pop Latino on a tech house EP, and we like that kind of crossover.
One Credit, Three Billings
How the collaboration is written depends on where you look. Spotify lists A Boy Named Barbara and Nikky Bourbon side by side as artists on the track. Apple Music and Beatport both use the title "I THINK I LIKE IT (feat. Nikky Bourbon)." Apple files the EP under House, while Beatport places the track in Tech House and lists it at 131 BPM in E major. Spotify and Apple Music both mark it as explicit.
Small details like these matter more than they seem. They decide which artist pages a track appears on and how DJs find it when they dig for music.
A Year Full of Guests
"I collaborate with all different artists and draw from all different sounds," A Boy Named Barbara says, and 2026 backs that up. Beatport lists "BOOTY CALL (feat. Adam Wilson)" in June, "SHE IS A MOOD" with Nai in August, "HIT (feat. Thomas Dekker)" on September 11 and "WERE WERE (feat. Josephine Okujeni)" two weeks later, along with remix work with motherfather.
On the EP itself, Nikky Bourbon follows Marqui Jordan, who shares the credit on "HBU" and "U NASTY (D.A.B.)." The other three tracks, "GOLD SHOES (JUST BE WEIRD JUST BE QUEER)," "JUST BE" and "TRUHOMO," are credited to A Boy Named Barbara alone.
Behind the Name
A Boy Named Barbara works as a DJ, executive producer and songwriter, and describes a lust for music. The name is a tribute to a personal hero, and A Boy Named Barbara talks about following that hero's "footsteps of love and acceptance." The sign-off is a wish we can get behind: "I hope we can dance together in person soon."
Final Thoughts
"I THINK I LIKE IT" adds Nikky Bourbon to A Boy Named Barbara's long list of 2026 collaborators and gives the EP a guest whose own releases sit outside tech house. If you follow either artist, add it to your queue. Do you like it when a producer brings a different guest onto almost every release? Tell us in the comments.
A Tip for Independent Artists
As "I THINK I LIKE IT" shows, one collaboration can be billed in different ways from store to store. Before you release, agree with your collaborators on who is a main artist and who is a featured guest, and enter those names exactly the same way every time, so the track lands on the right artist pages. DistroKid (affiliate link) lets you add main and featured artists when you upload and sends your release to Spotify, Apple Music and other big services, with 7% off your membership through that link.
