KAP 2026 by Kadri-Ann Kivisild

The bass line of Madonna's What It Feels Like for a Girl (Above & Beyond 12" Club Mix) is emerging from a rental Renault Zoe (electric) driving at the Amsterdam speed limit (30 km/h). An echo of Fleetwood Mac's Mystified is left behind by a Mitsubishi Pajero going 10 km/h over the 70 km/h speed limit towards Suurupi, a quiet summer resort on the edge of Tallinn's coastline. Somewhere in upstate New York is a silver BMW convertible playing Miraculous Weekend by Peter Ivers. The sun has just set, and Mylène Farmer's Libertine is playing in a hatchback driving down the Kiia-Vääna-Viti road. And an elderly Finnish man has traveled all the way from Finland to sing a Finnish song at a karaoke bar in Tallinn. The romantics are yet again yearning.
