RTL Today - Song 2 RTL Today

"El Beach" by the Limiñanas is a masterclass in captivating its audience.



Hello and welcome to another episode of Song 2, the podcast where we take a look into why

the second track on an album holds such significance, and in many cases the first track often serves as an introduction, a way to hook the listener. The second track, however, is where the artist starts to reveal their true intentions. It's a critical moment, where the listener decides whether to continue the journey or not.

Today, we're diving into a song that perfectly exemplifies the Song2 concept: "If You Wanna" by The Vaccines.



This track is the second song on their debut album, "What Did You Expect from The

Vaccines?", which was the best selling album of 2011 and the song is nothing short of iconic.

Released in 2011, "If You Wanna" quickly became an anthem for indie rock fans with its

infectious energy. So sit back, relax, and join us as we delve into the brilliance of The Vaccines

and their unforgettable second track.
