H.E.R. Yeah I Said It (Remix) review


Yeah, I Said It (Remix) is a song by R&B singer H.E.R that was released on November 16, 2016. It is a remixed cover version of Rihanna's song of the same name from her eighth studio album ANTI. H.E.R. begins to sing the song's original lyrics with her sweet vocals on the second verse with, "Boy, I always like to show/ Get a little bit, come a little close, now/ Take it home on your camera phone/ Get a little bad, baby, watch me blow it down". She also adds a new verse to the track on the outro that she wrote herself with the lyrics, "All you gonna do is say, "Yes"/ I ain't worried about a label/ Going in like we ain't got no time left/ Pick me up and put your dinner on the table/ Don't stop, ah, won't stop/ 'Til I feel it in the right spot/ Now I'm on top/ Yeah, I said it/ Give it to you right, you won't forget it/ Boy, get out your feelings and forget 'em/ Oooh, yeah".

I thought H.E.R. did an excellent job on covering Rih's song and adding her own flavor to it. I can't wait to do more cover songs like this one in the near future. I give this track a 9/10.
Make sure that you go and listen to H.E.R.'s Yeah, I Said It (Remix) on SoundCloud and YouTube. Here are the links for you:



Troye Sivan "Dance To This featuring Ariana Grande" review

I'm doing a review on Troye Sivan's new song titled Dance To This featuring Ariana Grande. It is the fourth single from his upcoming second studio album Bloom. The track is described as a "mellow dance track" that talks about the experience of a couple who would rather stay at home to party than to go out to a nightclub. Sivan sings on the pre chorus, "Oh, yeah, under the kitchen lights/ You still look like dynamite/ And I wanna end up on you/ Oh, don't need no place to go/ Just put on the radio/ You know what I wanna to do", and then continues on the chorus with the lyrics, "We can just dance to this/ Don't take much to start me/ Push on my body, yeah/ You know we've already seen all of the parties/ We can just dance to this/ Dance to this/ Dance to this/ We can just dance to this". Ariana then begins to exchange her verse on the song singing, "Dear beloved/ Bring those 501s a bit closer, bit closer/ And dear, my lover/ Do that thing we never do sober, sober". And I love this catchy bridge part of the track with Troye and Grande saying, "I don't wanna sleep tonight-night-night-night-night/ I just wanna take that ride/ I don't wanna sleep tonight-night-night-night-night/ I just wanna take that ride".

Overall, I give this song a 5/5. The beat of the song, the lyrics and Ariana's role in this is was just so good. You definitely need to go and support Troye Sivan's music along with his upcoming album expected to drop on August 31. You can listen to Dance To This on YouTube and then go and pre-order the album Bloom on Apple Music and get Dance To This instantly. Here are the links for it:
