Album of the Week #40

Love and Justice

(2022)

by Grace Victoria

Overall Rating: 8/10

TL;DR: Amazing instrumentals and vibes, and important lyrics that could be worded better.

(ugh why do these always get so pixelated when I put them in. anyways, simple, sweet, red. 5/10)

Overall Thoughts

              I don’t know what kind of algorithm runs my ‘Discover Weekly’ playlist on Spotify but whatever it is is doing a great job. It recommended me the single (and I think the best song) off this album and I’m so glad I decided to go and listen to all she had to offer.

              I’ve definitely made it clear before that I love bossa nova, and this is an acoustic chill masterpiece with haunting lyrics. Grace Victoria has such a soothing voice that envelopes you in a hug even while showing how terrible the world is. I honestly loved the instrumentals in pretty much every song and I think this is really well crafted, I had no idea this was her first album and that she was so young.

              But alas, it is now time for me to be mean. The biggest problem I had with this album was its lyrical style, which I feel weird critiquing given that the album is about the Black experience, something I don’t have experience with. What she was saying the whole album was good content wise, it just felt very heavy handed and simply written. No metaphors, no analogies, often rhyming words with themselves. Now this totally could have been on purpose just to show that no one would get the message unless it was spelled out. The brashness showing how brash racism is.

              The tradeoff of being so heavy handed and general (pretty much every song has “we” in it). I couldn’t really connect with any of the feelings in the songs because they felt like they were just general outlines. I think that’s what makes “Down in Virginia” and “Guilty” my favorite songs in the album. They’re first person and I feel like I’m being told about an experience that really happened. Details have power! I also think that the lyrical themes and instrumentals work very well together, with the chill tone she has while talking about horrific things does a great job of showing how desensitized the world is.

              I would say that I generally liked every song on the album, with my other favorite being “Let Me Tell You,” which has an acoustic version on the album. Its very uncharacteristic of me to like an acoustic version less but the original does such a good job of being full and flowing with the lyrics so well. It even has an organ!! I do think it was a bad idea to put the two versions back to back so I’m essentially listening to the same song twice in a row.  It’s a minor thing but it was a dumb decision.

              The only songs I didn’t particularly like were the ones that left her bossa nova genre,  “You” a Christian rock(???) song that somehow changes key too many times and “Undercover Ghetto Girl” that incorporates very weird Gorillaz-esque synths and that soundcloud song that I am terrible at describing but hate with a burning passion.

Final Verdict

              Chill bossa nova with a powerful message, now that is a combo I can get behind. I would give my left lung to see Grace Victoria live and she seems like such an amazing person. The whole album is the same vibe so if you like “Down in Virginia” I say dive in.

DO NOT COPY

♇ something about you chiron in 1H individuals and looking ancient and there's always something pointy about their chin or their chin just stands out.

♇ scorpio placements are very likely to have doppelganger, katy perry; who is a scorpio sun. her look a like zooey deschanel who is scorpio dominant. it is said emily blunt also looks like katy perry she doesnt have scorpio dominant or scorpio in her big six but she does have sun trine pluto.

⟶ victoria justice who is a scorpio rising and her "doppelganger" nina dobrev who is an alleged scorpio rising, both women are aquarius moons.

⟶ kiernan shipka a scorpio sun and mckenna grace who has jupiter in scorpio [don't think it's prominent] but they do have much similar appearance.

⟶ i think she was also used to play young sabrina because of their strong resemblance. ⟶ jessica chastain who is a scorpio rising and bryce dallas howard a scorpio lilith.

⟶ natalie portman who is a scorpio rising and keira knightley who is scorpio dominant.

⟶ margot robbie a scorpio moon and samara weaving who is a scorpio moon you could say emma mackey is a look a like, she's pluto dominant; jamie pressly is a look a like and an alleged scorpio rising. but jamie also has sun sextile pluto.

⟶ the eyes do a big play for these women; scorpio's opposite sign is taurus which i heard rules the eyes. ⟶ paul wesley a scorpio ascendan and kj apa a scorpio moon.

⟶ another good example is drake, if you're on social media you'll know that there's like a drake look-alike that pops out every minute. you could literally search up "drake lookalikes" and a pool of them would appear, but i think that also happens because drake's appearance is easy to imitate. ⟶ mariah the scientist a scorpio sun and mercury and brittany renner who is a pluto dom

⟶ [brittany renner right and mariah the scientist left]

♇ do not romanticise lilith in the 7h it is the trenches. you're either the insane partner or you attract the insane partner, and when you see the insanity it's ludicrous.

♇ noticed a lot of scorpio rising women have short heads, especially if they have fire placements.

♇ characters who have mars aspecting their moon will have people ATTACHED. actors of eddie munson and ser harwin strong have their moon and mars aspect each other, this causes fans to feel very connected to them and grieve very intensely over their character's deaths. along with the character joel miller from the last of us, people's reaction to his death was soooo bad.

♇ the more you use astrology to feel validated all the time the more you'll feel insecure! mostly because aside from looking within yourself, some people will use the placements of planets or asteroids to see if they're attractive, or skilled and when they dont see it they get insecure. [coming from actual conversations i used with people].

♇ i might've said this before but libra placements usually put themselves in situations they can easily get out of but choose to dwell in their sadness, specifically libra moons.

♇ aries venuses either do too much or nothing at all.

♇ aries moon with scorpio moon barely goes well, scorpio moon provokes aries moon and aries moon reacts just exactly how scorpio moon wants.

♇ moon badly aspecting venus; [specifically square and opposition, even conjunction] can cause someone to be heartbreakers, especially if they're a man.

♇ pisces in the 3h or mercury aspecting neptune [along with neptune in 3h] is an indicator of dyslexia, i looked at over 60+ natal charts and pointed it out to individuals who have those placements and majority of them said they do have trouble reading words, i myself have those placements and sometimes words jumble up for me. [this could also imply to having pisces or neptune in the 6h as 6h rules reading].

♇ people with aquarius placements are likely to always have strange interactions, someone with aqua in their big six or placements in their 11h always have a story to tell about someone strange.

♇ it has been implied that taurus beauty is more natural beauty and libra beauty is more cosmetic beauty. not insinuating that libra is all about surgery, but libra placements might be interested in make up more than taurus placements.

♇ as i have explained in the majestic virgo, i do believe those with virgo placements, 6h placements, prominent ceres specifically along with mercury dominance create the best creators, whether it is music, art, skills etc.

♇ this mostly is directed to people who have virgo or ceres in the ascendant, virgo in the big 6, first house ruler being in virgo, for example someone could be a cancer rising and have a virgo moon and that implies of their first house ruler being in virgo. ceres aspecting the ascendant or aspecting inner planets, which are ↴

⟶ sun, moon, mercury, venus and mars.

♇ i learnt that the 9H is about the next life and 5H is about your past life from the ruler ship book by rex. e bliss; it's interesting because they're both fire houses, this could insinuate that the 1H is about the current life, but im sure everyone is informed about the 1H ruling that!

⟶ someone with venus in the 1H could live a pleasant life [not all the time as there are bad sides to venus, it doesnt have to apply to everyone], and someone with pluto in their 5H could've had a very destructive and intense past life though might find themselves lucky in their next life if they have jupiter in the 9H but be aware of becoming over-indulgent.

The Three Graces (details) by Antonio Canova, 1814-17

Regarded internationally as a masterpiece of neoclassical European sculpture, The Three Graces was carved in Rome by Antonio Canova (1757 – 1822) between 1814 and 1817 for an English collector. This group of three mythological sisters was in fact a second version of an original – one commissioned by Joséphine de Beauharnais, first wife of Napoleon Bonaparte.

Canova is now widely recognised as one of the greatest European artists of his day, but from the mid-19th century onwards his reputation suffered, partly because of what was seen as the problematic relationship between his work and ancient sculpture. The great German scholar Gustav Waagen commented dourly on The Three Graces in his extensive survey of works of art in British collections of 1854: "But however attractive the tender and masterly finish of the dazzling white marble, the pretty but insipid character of the heads cannot gratify a taste familiar with the antique".
