Zendaya and Tom Holland joke about the Zendaya Hat Theory:
"Obviously, I've let you out of my hat because you're here."
"I like being out here. Don't put me back in the hat."
in my past several years of being a music fan, there has never been a song that grew on me in an album's context more than this banger
as a single? pretty cool
in the album coming off a transition from ENERGY? OH MY FUCKINGGG GOD 10/10
This is quite possibly the most anti-art thing you could do with music. Chord-progressions & melodies for musicians are what colours are to painters. Painters will use the exact same colours as each other but produce a painting that is distinguishably their own.
random mini review but yeah i’ve found myself listening to the entirety of you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love most often lately instead of individual tracks. it’s just such an astonishing feat of storytelling from top-to-bottom that that’s become my favorite way to experience it. the journey she takes you on from drop dead to cigarette smoke is so engrossing in its emotional honesty, vulnerability, and maturity, and as soon as i press play i just wanna see it through to the end all over again. the way she’s able to make you feel every high and low of this love story right alongside her as if it was you who lived it too is such a special experience. i walk away with a deeper appreciation for the album every day, and if this is how much depth and sophistication her writing has at 23, there’s literally no limit to where she goes from here. voice of a generation.
how are you going to be a song reviewer and not understand the meaning of lyrics?? she’s not talking about describing her feelings to the listener she’s talking about how she can’t describe her feelings to the person she loves and that’s VERY obvious. you should feel embarrassed
something i do find so genius about purple is how not a single lyric changes from the first chorus to the second one and yet you can feel the complete shift in meaning
her cleverest song. the switch from a sappy love song to a song about toxic codependency is insane. the haunting chords slowly creeping into the production. so unsettling. it’s already an underrated track yet it’s such a fundamental song for the record
