Swim in slow motion
It was so simple baby
Feelin so simple baby

I can tell a lot of your dishonesty

This year has been a lot, baby, honestly

Everything is just so lousy, oh

We can work out, yeah

Now I am coming over just back to get my s**t right

 I know you miss too

Baby, it was so simple with just me and you

Grown-ish Season 2 review

 
 
Warning: the following may contains spoilers from season 2 of Grown-ish. Read at your own discretion.
 
So, last time that we saw our girl Zoey Johnson was in the season one finale of Grown-ish titled "Back & Forth". In this episode, she had to choose between three guys. Yes, three guys, everyone. And they were Aaron, Luka and Cash. Her gal pals Ana, Nomi and Jazz and Sky all tried to help Zoey in choosing which guy that she wanted to be. But, in the end, Zoey chose to be with Luka.
 
 
In the season 2 premiere episode titled "Better", Zoey starts her new relationship with Luka while also trying to make her sophomore year better than her freshman. Like, when she called a "cup b***h" at Aaron's party, dated an athlete star then get her heart broken by one, having her Instagram flooded with haters and so on. 
 
Her, Nomi and Ana move into a less-than-stellar apartment off campus and might learn to adjust to each other as roommates. Then, Zoey is in for a shock when she finds out Luka is back from his trip to Paris and he didn't tell her.
 
Then, in "Nothing Was The Same", Zoey tries to show her friends that her romance with Luka is special and does all that she can to make sure that their photos are tagged with #relationshipgoals on Instagram.
 
Relationship goals is a phrase that is commonly used to describe an action by a romantic couple that you want to achieve someday in your own love life.
 
We also see Zoey getting into some more trouble like breaking the girl code with her friends, cheating on her chemistry test (a big no-no) and getting cut off by her father. But then, we begin to see her maturing and making grown up decisions. Applying for and working at her first job in "Can't Knock The Hustle", taking a step forward by deciding not to pursue with design class in "In My Feelings", creating her own fashion major in "Only Human" and stop compromising with her boyfriend and doing her own thing in "Nice For What".
 
And let's not forget about Zoey's friends and their new romances as well. Ana starts to get serious with Aaron after sharing their first kiss in "Girls Like You". Then, they "get on" in "Body Count". But sadly, they decide to end things in "Tweakin'" when Aaron breaks it to Ana that he is not ready for a serious relationship.
 
Sky begins to falling for Zoey's brother Junior (Marcus Scribner) in "You Decide". Jazz and Doug goes from having their love tested to breaking up and then eventually making up afterwards. Nomi is in her first serious relationship with Paige Hewson, a former professor from Cal U who helps her with coming out as bisexual to her Jewish parents. They kiss in episode ten and then break up in episode eighteen.
 
To me, I feel like this season of Grown-ish is beginning to get more realer than it was in last season. They covered so many topics that had us, including me, talking. Such as, mental health, body image and empowerment, what really makes a person a "genius", cultural appropriation and embracing your sexuality.
 
 
Make sure that you watch Grown-ish: Season 2 on Hulu, Freeform, Youtube TV, Vudu and more:

Taylor Swift Lover (First Dance Remix) review



Lover (First Dance Remix) is a song by Taylor Swift that was released on November 26, 2019. This is the second remix of the ballad so far. The first one featured new lyrics and vocals from Canadian singer Shawn Mendes. 
 
The track is based off of an arrangement of Swift's 2019 American Music Awards career-spanning medley on November 24th, where she ended it with an orchestra version of "Lover" featuring ballerina dancer Misty Copeland.
 
The first verse opens up with beautiful violins and a piano in the background as Taylor sings:
 

We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til January
And this is our place, we make the rules
And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, dear
Have I known you 20 seconds or 20 years?

Then, Swift continues on the chorus:
 

Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close?
Forever and ever, ah
Ah, take me out, and take me home
You're my, my, my, my lover

I love this latest remix of Lover by Taylor Swift. The first one with Shawn was good, but the second one, though, is so romantic and perfect for your first dance with that special someone in your life. I would definitely play this version of Lover at my wedding someday in the future.

Chloe x Halle Thinkin' Bout Me review



Thinkin' Bout Me (stylized in all lowercase) is a song by the musical group Chloe x Halle that was released on June 19, 2019 through Parkwood Entertainment. The track was released on the same day along with their other song titled "Who Knew. It was also featured in a season 2, episode 19 of Grown-ish titled "Only Human".
 
The girls take turns exchanging verses about a guy who is always thinking about his girl, but she has to lay down some rules first when it comes to making a first impression on her.
 
 On the first verse, Chloe sings:
 

You wrote me and you say I'm all you think about
Look both ways 'fore I cross your mind
Lucky that you caught me in the nick of time
I was on my way out, tryna make a dime

 Then, she continues on the pre-chorus with:
 

Gotta get permission 'fore you say you miss me
Gimme all your patience with the no complaining
I will let you know when you are done with training

Halle wants to make sure that this guy is only thinking about her on the chorus with the lyrics:
 

Boy, yeah, what I make you think about doing?
What I make you see when you're dreaming?
What I make you think about me?

 
I love this song by Chloe and Halle Bailey so much. But, I recommend that you listen to "Thinkin' Bout Me" and "Who Knew" together just to get the full effect of both songs in one take.

Chloe x Halle Who Knew review



Who Knew is a song by R&B duo Chloe x Halle that was released on June 19, 2019 through Parkwood Entertainment. The song was featured in a episode of the Freeform series Grown-ish titled "Can't Knock The Hustle".
 
Who Knew is about falling for someone unexpectedly as Chloe sings on the first verse:
 

Never thought you'd be somebody that I
Would be staying with on a Saturday night
To be honest I don't think you're my type
Yet, here we are together two different kinds

 And then continues on the pre-chorus with:

You would say things
Wouldn't listen, but I listen now
You would call me started falling cause it's different now

Her sister Halle exchanges her verse on the chorus singing:
 

And we started something by mistake
Who would've thought that I would feel this way?
This way about you
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
This way about you, tell me who would've thought of that
Who knew?

 
I just love the music that Chloe x Halle keeps on making for the show Grown-ish. These sisters are very talented and I am so happy that they are finally getting the recognition that they deserve.

I can't have what I want, but neither can you

Damn, baby, I'm a train wreck too (Too)
I lose my mind when it comes to you

You ain't my boyfriend (Boyfriend)
And I ain't your girlfriend (Girlfriend)

And I don't want you to see nobody

I wanna kiss you (Yeah), don't wanna miss you (Yeah)

Simple is a song by Kira Korasin and Carneyval that was released on November 8, 2019 through Off Brand Studios.
 
Simple has been described by Kosarin as "a nostalgic, meditative track about adolescent joy and freedom".
 
On the first verse, Kira sings about how hard everything has gotten now that she is older with the lyrics:
 

 Runnin through the daily

more bags than I wanna carry

Can we go back to that one time
When we were 16
Riding the red line
Writing a big dream
It was so simple baby
Feelin so simple baby

 
Let me just say that I am loving this chill vibe that Kira brings to this song, man. And the production by Carneyval, the man who produced this track, is just amazing. Fantastic! I will definitely be putting this song on repeat for sure.

Jhene Aiko Wasted Love Freestyle review

To lovin' you right
Love comes before pride
I loved you before I-I-I-I
'Fore I even knew why

How did we get away from love?
How did love get away from us?
Not my time, I should wait for love
Waste of time, what a waste of love

Only been a week I think I'm weak can't even

You cut me so deep, it hurts for me to breathe in

Jhene Aiko None of Your Concern review

 
None of Your Concern is a song by R&B singer Jhene Aiko that was released on November 15, 2019.
 
Aiko finds herself reflecting on her failed relationship, possibly with her ex-boyfriend Big Sean, and tries to move on with her life. She talks about having regrets and second thoughts on the first verse singing:
 

I've been contemplatin', meditatin'
Should've waited, should've never dated
You seem irritated, baby, why you never say it?
Isn't this worth saving?

Then, Jhene continues on the chorus with:
 

It's none of your concern anymore
None of your concern
Is it even worth it at all?
Is it even worth it?

On the second verse, the singer starts getting personal with the lyrics:
 

Of course, you on the scene with little miss thing, and trust me she really don't want beef
That's besides the point, I'm disappointed as a homie, what is it you see?
I want better for you movin' forward, what's better for you than me?

But, it's the third verse on the song where Aiko really bares her soul as she sings:
 

I was traumatized and suicidal, I'm sick and tired, I am not to blame
Once I felt the wave and not today, I'm not afraid, now I can say
Get your b***h a* off of my phone, please leave me alone
I am not your girl anymore, you need to watch your tone

 
Big Sean, who has uncredited vocals on this track, tells his side of trying to getting past his break up with Jhene rapping:
 

You know I had these issues when you met me
Results of those past damages that I haven’t dealt with
And I only want the best for you, movin' forward but you backtracking with n****s that ain't shit for you don't belong

Taylor Swift Lover (Remix) feat. Shawn Mendes review

 
Taylor Swift taps Canadian singer Shawn Mendes for the new version of her third single and title track from the singer's seventh studio album. The Lover remix was released on November 13, 2019.
 
On the chorus, Taylor sings:

Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close?
Forever and ever
And ah, take me out, and take me home
You're my, my, my, my lover

 
Then, Mendes comes in on the second part of the song with the lyrics:
 

We could light a bunch of candles
And dance around the kitchen, baby
Pictures of when we were young would hang on the wall

 
On the bridge, Taylor and Shawn take turns exchanging verses. Swift starts thing off with:
 

Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand?
With every guitar string scar on my hand
I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover

Before, Shawn seemingly makes a reference to his girlfriend Camila Cabello singing:
 

Look in my eyes, they will tell you the truth
The girl in my story has always been you
I'd go down with the Titanic, it's true, for you, lover

 
Oh my gosh, man. I can't believe that Taylor Swift did a collaboration with Shawn Mendes. My two favorite singers on one song makes me feel so overjoyed. The Lover remixed version gets a thumbs up for me.

Billie Eilish everything i wanted review

 
Everything I Wanted (stylized in all lowercase) is a song by singer Billie Eilish that was released on November 14, 2019. It serves as the lead single from Billie's upcoming second studio album.
 
Lyrically, everything i wanted talks about a nightmare that Billie had where she had committed suicide and saw all of her friends and fans turn their backs on her.
 
She sings on the first verse:

I had a dream
I got everything I wanted
Not what you'd think
And if I'm being honest

It might have been a nightmare
To anyone who might care

Then, on the chorus, Billie showcases the strong relationship with her brother FINNEAS with the lyrics:

And you say "As long as I'm here
No one can hurt you
Don't wanna lie here
But you can learn to
If I could change the way that you see yourself
You wouldn't wonder why here
They don't deserve you"

 
Let me just say that I love Billie Eilish's new single. It's very good and catchy at the same time. The production, the lyrics and the meaning behind the song were right on point. I am very happy that Billie has blessed us with new music.

Described as self love anthem, the singer is discovering her true self again while going through a difficult process of losing a lover.
 
The song is rumored to be about Selena's on and off again relationship with her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber as she sings on the first verse:

Sang off-key in my chorus
'Cause it wasn't yours
I saw the signs and I ignored it
Rose-colored glasses all distorted
Set fire to my purpose
And I let it burn

Then, she makes mention of him again on the second verse with the lyrics:
 

In two months, you replaced us
Like it was easy
Made me think I deserved it
In the thick of healing, yeah

But, it's the chorus of this song where the singer really bares her soul singing:

To love, love, yeah
To love, love, yeah
To love, yeah
I needed to lose you to love me

Taylor Swift Lover album review

 
Lover is the seventh studio album by singer and songwriter Taylor Swift that was released on August 23, 2019. The album marks as Swift's first release under Republic Records.
 
 
 
I Forgot That You Existed
 
I Forgot That You Existed lyrically talks about shrugging off a lot of things that have caused you struggle and pain as Swift opens up the first five lines with:
 

 How many days did I spend thinking
'Bout how you did me wrong, wrong, wrong?
Lived in the shade you were throwing
'Til all of my sunshine was gone, gone, gone

And I couldn't get away from ya

 
Then, she name checks Drake's hit song "In My Feelings" with the lyrics:
 

In my feelings more than Drake, so yeah

 
Before moving into the pre-chorus and chorus singing:
 

But then something happened one magical night

I forgot that you existed
And I thought that it would kill me, but it didn't
And it was so nice
So peaceful and quiet
I forgot that you existed
It isn't love, it isn't hate, it's just indifference

 
 
 
 Cruel Summer

Cruel Summer tells the story about fragility of Swift's relationship with Joe Alywn. On the first verse, Taylor sings:

Fever dream high in the quiet of the night
You know that I caught it (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
Bad, bad boy, shiny toy with a price
You know that I bought it (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)



Then she goes into the chorus with the lyrics:

It's a cruel summer
It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh, whoa oh
It's a cruel summer
With you

 
 
 
Lover
 
Lover is described as a slow, romantic, and acoustic song that finds Taylor making a reference about her relationship with her boyfriend Joe in the lyrics.
 
On the first verse of the track, she sings:
 

We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til January
This is our place, we make the rules
And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, dear
Have I known you twenty seconds or twenty years?

 
Swift continues on the chorus with the lyrics:
 

 Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out and take me home
You're my, my, my, my
Lover

 
The second verse of Lover suggests that Taylor and Joe have been dating for three years now with her singing:
 

I've loved you three summers now, honey, but I want 'em all

 
Then, on the bridge, the singer is talking about marriage, which could be another reference to Joe as she sings:
 

Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand?
With every guitar string scar on my hand
I take this magnetic force of a man to be my
Lover

 
 
 
The Man
 
The Man is an empowering anthem that tackles on sexism. And it also plays on the perception of what it would be like if Taylor was the man as she sings on the chorus:
 

I'm so sick of running as fast as I can
Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man
And I'm so sick of them coming at me again
'Cause if I was a man, then I'd be the man

 
 
 
The Archer
 
The Archer is mid-tempo song that finds Swift dealing with insecurities in a relationship. On the first verse, she sings:
 

Combat
I'm ready for combat
I say I don't want that
But what if I do?

'Cause cruelty
Wins in the movies
I've got a hundred thrown out speeches
I almost said to you

 
Then, Taylor use the word as a metaphor to reflect on her pain and heartache on the chorus:
 

I've been the archer
I've been the prey
Who could ever leave me darling
But who could stay?

 

I Think He Knows

I Think He Knows is a love song that talks about Swift beginning a potential relationship with her new love interest with the lyrics:

I think he knows
His footprints on the sidewalk
Lead to where I can't stop
Go there every night

His hands around a cold glass
Make me wanna know that
Body like it's mine

Then, Taylor continues on the chorus singing:
 

He got my heartbeat
Skipping down 16th Avenue
I got that, ah, I mean
Wanna see what's under that attitude like
I want you, bless my soul
And I ain't gotta tell him, I think he knows
I think he knows

 

 
Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince
 
Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince can be described as both a high school romance or Taylor becoming politically vocal, which is something that Swift has never done before.
 
The first half of the track starts off with the singer going back into her teenage years with the lyrics,
 

 You know I adore you, I'm crazier for you
Than I was at sixteen, lost in a film scene
Waving homecoming queens, marching band playing

 
Then, the second half turns into a Taylor's disappointment of politics with her singing:
 

American glory faded before me

Running through rose thorns, I saw the scoreboard
And ran for my life (Ah)

 
 
 
Paper Rings
 
Lyrically, Paper Rings is about Taylor declaring her love to her man (possibly Joe Alwyn) and saying that she will stay with him forever. 
 
Swift sings on the chorus with the lyrics,
 

 I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings
Uh huh, that's right
Darling, you're the one I want, and
I hate accidents except when we went from friends to this
Uh huh, that's right
Darling, you're the one I want
In paper rings in picture frames in dirty dreams
Oh, you're the one I want

 
 
 
Cornelia Street
 
Cornelia Street tells the story on how Taylor rented a place on the London street that played a central part on her relationship.
 
On the first verse, she sings:
 

We were in the backseat
Drunk on something stronger than the drinks in the bar
"I rent a place on Cornelia Street"
I say casually in the car

 Then, Swift continues on the chorus with the lyrics:
 

And I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
That's the kind of heartbreak time could never mend
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

 
 
 
Death By A Thousand Cuts
 
 
 Inspired by the Netflix movie Someone Great, Taylor talks about the slow but yet painful death of a possible break up.
 
 
 She bares her soul on the chorus singing:
 

Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
Flashbacks waking me up
I get drunk, but it's not enough
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby

 
 
 
 
London Boy
 
 
 Lyrically, London Boy sounds like an ode to Joe Alwyn as Taylor sings on the chorus:
 

You know I love a London boy
I enjoy walking Camden Market in the afternoon
He likes my American smile
Like a child when our eyes meet, darling, I fancy you

 
 
 
 
 
Soon You'll Get Better (featuring Dixie Chicks)
 
This twelfth track on Lover might Taylor's most emotional song to date. She dedicates this heartbreaking tune to her mother, Andrea, who was diagnosed with cancer in April 2015 and then re-diagnosed in March 2019.
 
Swift opens up the first verse with the lyrics:
 

The buttons of my coat were tangled in my hair
In doctor's-office-lighting, I didn't tell you I was scared
That was the first time we were there

Then, she continues on the chorus singing:
 

Ooh-ah
Soon, you'll get better
Ooh-ah
Soon, you'll get better
Ooh-ah
You'll get better soon

 
 
 
 False God
 
False God is where the singer uses heavy religion imagery, like she did in the previous track "Soon You'll Get Better", to describe her current relationship as both all-powerful and greater than themselves.
 
On the pre-chorus, she sings:
 

They all warned us about times like this
They say the road gets hard and you get lost
When you're led by blind faith
Blind faith

Then, Taylor unleashes her sensual side with the lyrics:

But we might just get away with it
Religion's in your lips
Even if it's a false god

We'd still worship
We might just get away with it
The altar is my hips

Even if it's a false god
We'd still worship this love

 

 
 
You Need To Calm Down
 
Lyrically, You Need To Calm Down is about self-expression while also addressing your haters straightforward. She kicks things off on the first verse with:
 

You are somebody that I don't know
But you're takin' shots at me like it's PatrĂłn
And I'm just like, damn, it's 7 AM

 Then, she seemingly talks about her 2016 feud with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian on the second verse singing:
 

But I've learned a lesson that stressin' and obsessin' 'bout somebody else is no fun
And snakes and stones never broke my bones

Before continuing on the chorus with the lyrics:
 

You need to calm down, you're being too loud
And I'm just like oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (oh)
You need to just stop
Like can you just not step on my gown?
You need to calm down

 
 
Afterglow
 
On the synth-pop song "Afterglow", Swift talks about self-sabotaging a relationship and also overreacting about a misunderstanding with her lover. While taking the blame for the fight, she asks for his forgiveness in order to save their relationship.
 
She opens up the track with the first four lines singing:
 

I blew things out of proportion, now you're blue
Put you in jail for something you didn't do
I pinned your hands behind your back, oh
Thought I had reason to attack, but no

Then, Taylor moves on to the chorus with the lyrics:
 

It's all me in my head
I'm the one who burned us down
But it's not what I meant
Sorry that I hurt you
I don't wanna do, I don't wanna do this to you

 I need to say, hey
It's all me, just don't go
Meet me in the afterglow

 
 
 ME! (featuring Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco)
 
ME! is describes as a bubblegum pop song that talks about embracing your own uniqueness. She sings on the pre-chorus:
 

But one of these things is not like the others
Like a rainbow with all of the colors
Baby doll, when it comes to a lover
I promise that you'll never find another like

 And then, Taylor continues on the chorus with the lyrics:
 

Me-e-e, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm the only one of me
Baby, that's the fun of me
Eeh-eeh-eeh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
You're the only one of you
Baby, that's the fun of you

 
 
 
It's Nice To Have A Friend
 
In this dream yet eerie ballad, Taylor talks about how two friends meet each other in school and then eventually end up getting married.
 
She begins on the first verse:
 

School bell rings, walk me home
Sidewalk chalk covered in snow
Lost my gloves, you give me one
"Wanna hang out?"
Yeah, sounds like fun

 

Then, it switches over into the start of a potential romance on the second verse with the lyrics:

Sun sinks down, no curfew
Twenty questions, we tell the truth
You've been stressed out lately? Yeah, me too
Something gave you the nerve
To touch my hand


It's nice to have a friend



 
 
Daylight
 
Daylight is the final song on Lover album. The singer finds herself reflecting on past relationships and how she has meet someone who has made her see things in a whole new light.
 
She sings on the first verse:
 

My love was as cruel as the cities I lived in
Everyone looked worse in the light
There are so many lines that I've crossed, unforgiven

And then moves on the chorus with:

I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you
I don't wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you
I've been sleepin' so long in a twenty-year dark night
And now I see daylight, I only see daylight
