Showing my ignorance of the rituals of American youth there, but I'd have thought it works in both cases. Wherever young people feel a bit happy, a bit sad, a bit nervous, a bit drunk.

Janelle's wasted on it though. She just sort of glides by. I was expecting more of a turn.

i guess dean's in the mix, but not as much as bhasker, no i.d., etc.

Its about a girl losing her virginity. The peeling of the apple is the foreplay, but then when the moment comes she gets nervous. And when she cuts herself thats the cherry popping and when she puts the blood on her lips it shows shes not an innocent little girl anymore.

I kind of dig it. Unfortunately, if I let it go to the next song on Atlantic, I get reminded that Twenty One Pilots is a thing.

love the deep groove w/ horns ~4 min in.
the rap is pretty great in its own way too. like not many performers can keep it that posi without just inducing eyerolls.

erykah kills it and the bit at the end was pretty exciting.
keen for this album, the last one was a real mess of ideas but a lot of them stuck

Yeah, I'm hoping the new one will be shorter and more concise. New song is cool, probably a grower.

The first half is a nightmare. I'm actually hoping Badu goes in her half's direction.

Song gets better with each listen. Song + video increases its betterness to the power of 10.

really like this song
at her red bull talk badu was gushing about monae... i think she said something like "she understands my heart more than anyone"

badu's part is great, the way the blunt keyboards slide away leaving jazzy impressions and she just weaves in and out of them
unfortunately her delivery kind of emphasizes how dull monae's is

Got to see Monae again a few months ago as a special guest at a Prince aftershow. She's usually a dynamo, and I was hoping she would own it after lackluster Prince as bandleader doing wan covers sans guitar, but this night was a total drag. 3am was not the right time to debut a couple of chill new songs. :(
