Self-love anthems used to live on playlists you cry to in the car. In 2026 they also live on the dancefloor. Dance and electronic audio streams in the U.S. grew faster than any other genre in the first half of the year, and pop writers are meeting that demand halfway: confessional lyrics, futuristic bass, and a chorus you can shout with a room full of strangers. Taylor Felt’s “BLOOMING SZN (Holmesick Remix)” is exactly that kind of record. It landed October 1 as the second single from her upcoming remix EP ELECTRA, out October 15.
The original “BLOOMING SZN” sits on ELECTRABLOOM, Felt’s sophomore EP, as the quieter closer. She wrote it alone in her childhood bedroom. The lyric is blunt about what she refused to become. “You told me I should cut my hair and throw away my clothes / Losing all of who I was to be enough for you.” Later she draws the line even harder: “I’m not your fucking doll.” The chorus flips the weather. Rain inside her head becomes a garden. “Now I just bloom / Where it used to pour down, flowers grow now.” After the breakup she is “un-untouchable,” glowing, grateful for what the relationship put her through because it showed her who she did not want to be. The last verse is the payoff. “Since you have departed / I live in my garden / Feeling higher than the clouds / I love who I’m becoming / First time saying that out loud.”
Holmesick keeps that spine and rebuilds the room around it. The remix, released from Los Angeles, folds futuristic bass and club-driven production under the same self-love, transformation, and growth story. Felt has called the listen magical. He took something deeply personal and breathed life into it without sanding off the self-growth. That is the trick hyperpop and dance pop keep pulling off right now. The vocal can stay intimate while the low end and the drop do the celebrating. You do not need a softer arrangement to mean the words. You need a system that can hold them.
ELECTRA is the electronic companion to ELECTRABLOOM, an eight-track remix project executive produced by ALXi. It flips the EP’s story of dancing through pain and choosing yourself through collaborators including ALRT, BGZ, and Polarroi. The original project already picked up editorial support across the major DSPs, including Spotify’s All New Pop, Apple Music’s New in Pop, and Amazon’s Indie Dance, plus a feature in Official Charts’ New Music Friday and Girls’ Life Magazine. The remix EP is the next chapter of that world, not a side quest.
Felt’s path into this sound is unusually public. Her debut EP, Dead Flowers, passed 250,000 Spotify streams in its first month. She has grown an audience of more than 3.2 million followers across TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitch, where she streams weekly as a Partner. She has performed the national anthem for the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers and the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers, serves as a Yamaha Ambassador, and is an SXSW 2026 panelist. In 2020 she was the only music artist selected as an official TikTok Ambassador, representing the platform at the Grammys. Ones To Watch and Wonderland Magazine have both covered the rise. The writing stays unapologetic. The production runs from electrifying anthems to sentimental songbook moments, with the lush, runway-leaning finish that ELECTRABLOOM made her signature.
