Taylor Swift "Only The Young" review


Only The Young is a song by pop singer Taylor Swift that was released on January 31, 2020 alongside her Netflix documentary titled "Taylor Swift: Miss Americana".

Only The Young is a political anthem that encourages teenagers and young adult to use their voices in what they believe in. 

Taylor can also be heard making a reference to Donald Trump and 2016 U.S. election on the first verse with the lyrics:

You did all that you could do
The game was rigged, the ref got tricked
The wrong ones think they’re right
You were outnumbered this time


 Before she later calls out the controversial president as the "big bad man" on the second verse singing:

And the big bad man and his big bad clan
Their hands are stained with red
Oh, how quickly they forget


 Then Swift continues on the chorus while being accompanied by a kids choir as she sings:

Only one thing can save us
Only the young (Only the young; Don't say you're too tired to fight)
Only the young (Only the young; It's just a matter of time)
Only the young (Only the young; Up there's the finish line)
Only the young
Can run

I love that Taylor Swift is getting political in her music especially with this song "Only The Young". The message behind this track is so amazing and I think that young people, like myself, should use their voices to really fight for what's right.

Justin Bieber "Get Me" featuring Kehlani review



Get Me is a song by singers Justin Bieber and Kehlani that was released on January 28, 2020. It serves as a promotional single for Bieber's upcoming fifth studio album Changes.
 
On the track, the two artists talk about a call-and-response format to each other about their figurative relationship.
 
Bieber sings:
 

See, you're lookin' beyond the surface
Can tell by the questions you're asking
You got me low-key nervous
It feels like we're on the same wave, yeah

 
Then Justin starts to unleash his sensual side on the pre-chorus with:
 

Oh, you don't compare, don't fit in with 'em, do you get me?
Judgin' by the way you open up, you get me
Ooh, out of this world, hands on, baby, now you send me
Lookin' at the way we're blendin' in, you get me

 
Before the Canadian crooner continues on the chorus with the lyrics:
 

High, high, high, you get me
High, high, high, you get me

 
On the second verse, Kehlani makes a play on the meaning of period in chemistry and semantics singing:
 

Ooh, there's so much chemistry
Like a chemist, how you finishin' my sentences
In the center, no, we can't deny the synergy
How 'bout reapin' all the benefits? Yeah

 
I really like how Justin is still staying true to with that same R&B feel with "Get Me". And I especially loved Kehlani's part on this song and how her and Bieber's voice kind of blend together towards the end of this song.
 
 
Buy and stream Get Me on Spotify, Google Play, Apple Music, SoundCloud GO+, Deezer, Amazon Music and more:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Make sure that you pre-order or pre-save Justin's album Changes on all streaming platforms before it drops on February 14th:

H.E.R. "Sometimes" review

 
Sometimes is a song by singer and songwriter H.E.R. that was released on January 26, 2020 through RCA Records. The R&B singer first performed this song live at 62nd Annual Grammy Awards. The single is rumored to be on the singer's upcoming debut album.
 
Lyrically, Sometimes is a mellow track that talks about life's ups and downs and the many things that can be thrown in our way. While also, trying to figure it all out in the process.
 
H.E.R. sings:
 

I had a plan, I had it mapped out
I knew where I was going when I left out
Oh, you couldn't tell me that I wouldn't be there on time
I had some guarantees, I had a deadline

 
 Then, she continues on the chorus with the lyrics:
 

'Cause sometimes s*** don't go your way, sometimes
And sometimes you gon' have those days, yeah
And sometimes you'll feel out of place
You can't promise me it'll be the same
'Cause sometimes change (Yeah, yeah)

 
 
 I just love the piano and the guitar playing in the background song. And the lyrics for "Sometimes" are so relatable to anyone who is dealing with challenges in their lives right now.
 
H.E.R. never seems to disappoint us whenever she drops a new track. I can't wait to hear more from the singer as we wait for her to release her debut album.
 
 
 Buy and stream Sometimes on Apple Music, Google Play, Spotify, Amazon Music, SoundCloud GO+ and more:
