Laura Marano has a lot going on. She released her latest single "Boundaries" on April 14, and she's been busy filming movies for Netflix. Last year, she starred in The Royal Treatment, and soon fans can see her in Choose Love, the streaming service's first interactive romantic comedy.

Known for her role as Ally on Disney Channel's Austin & Ally, she's released solo music for several years. Recently, she reformed her sound, pushing it into different, more mature directions. Eight years removed from Disney, she's moved comfortably into the adult phase of her career.

BoTalks is made up of Swedish producer Johan Lindbrandt and X Factor winner Alex Kinsey, whose 2018 debut single "Fuck It" garnered praise from a host of media outlets, including Nylon and Run The Trap, along with placement on Spotify's Young & Free, and the number 1 spot on HypeM's pop chart.

"Weekend" opens with stylish, emerging synth colors enhanced by the harmonizing voices of Kinsey and Marano. Initially, the electro-pop melody is laid-back, moving on a crisp pulsing rhythm full of potential energy. When the chorus kicks in, the song's budding dynamics take off, radiating bright harmonics, stuttering synths and rich, supple vocals.

The posh vocals exude a smart, swank aroma that's buoyant and infectiously compelling. Marano's sylph-like, affluent voice gives the music a mesmerizing nuance that complements Kinsey's smooth, delicious tones. The mood of the song oozes a tentative quixotic attitude, uncertainty flavored with optimism.
