I see you

Sitting stoned on my couch, with the blanket we were gifted yesterday and Marian protected so dearly, he was his gift for his new flat. It’s so cozy I’m so happy like wtf how do I deserve this.

I meet so many beautiful people everyday. I just came from the museum with Emily and Ellie

they have so much in commmin and we have so much in common within each other. Ellie and I are born on the exact same day same year, emily and Ellie both come from uk both have this love and desire for the east and get it other immediately. It’s all so smooth as if we were friends forever, we go to this exhibition

it’s so good it’s so full but it’s still so easy everyone is appreciative. Everyone is beautiful the art is so amazing her book is sold out for ages I guy three postcards I knew immediately which ones I wanted. It’s all intuitively. We share so many interests

I learn so much from you Emily your so wise. You inspire me to the max.! So I sit here writing down all the beautiful things I have witnessed today I had ah amazing breakfast with Marian after an amazing weekend with him it’s like we’re glued together hahahaha when u don’t see u enough I’m going crazy like when I was waiting for u in the park with my friends haha u know what I am talking about, yes the night before was indescribable it just all came together then we met Joshua again the second night he joined us later again like the first night to then go to the spontaneous second house party with us. Joshua who is actually my bzw. Marians neighbor hahahahahah se everyone is my neighbor literally. He is very good looking and has a beautiful special spirit he loves to go the movies and we talked about Saint Omer and Wolfpack. Then we danced and smiled at each other like we’ve been friends forever. It’s insane. everyone is sweet everyone is welcoming this cooooool photographer just welcones a big group of young bobo kids and allows them to use their space to just put up some techno and get naked and get into ahh group make out so sexyyyy everyone is just sex I dance with Marian pole dance I dance with myself I dance with Mattia mattia is doing the most insane stunts

I meet another guuy from ifm Fabio is so kind, Pierre is so sweet Joshua and I dance to turn me on from Kevin lyttle, Mattia is yelling I wear TuS beautiful latex tip from Marie and everyone loves it Vittoria is straight ok kian is a seeethrart in a bike who loves nosferatu, pascaline has a million wigs. They’re all Italians and then there is Andrea and the sweet boy from

ifm who introduce himself with is IG handle iconic ?!! I sit here and think about the art I just saw when I met emotion and Ellie

this artist RINEKE dijkstra made very sensitive comments or quotations of different aspects and perspectives on art and society. She manage to capture very honest but conscious relevant moments of society. The perception of these young children who not only think about art in a very elaborated and reflected way because it is about perspective and perception two things everyone learns at a very young age is it through sound distance falling standing up touching things tasting, testing out we all know what I am talking about now.

this is literally all it takes to understand art and then contextualize it. And here jr comes what do we need to cintextualize and he’s true knowledge deffo helps. But ahhhh chicken. Egg chicken eggg chili en egg. What is knowledge.

anwhoo Emily said: ah this could be art critical so it wasn’t even me and we agreed in that point.

so basically this children analyze in a very elaborated way how the origin of this painting could be laying at. They name very emotional intelligent options for where the well-being or not existing well-being/ crying of this women can be originated. It goes from trauma, financial suffering, violence, loss, abuse, spirits, souls and health. Money power, loneliness togetherness

to just the fact that Picasso might have been liking the colors or maybe also he just wanted to do sth different. It’s plane but it’s smart and it’s honest and it’s diverse.

They remainders me of how I would imagine a Greek discussion instead of their school uniforms they would wear those toras? Is that the name those beautifully draped clothes going to finish this now and show some pics because I could keep going for ages sorryyy

Pushing everything

Right back on top of me, yeah

But if you think you're gonna get away from me

You better change your mind

You're going home

You're going home with me tonight

Let me hold you

Girl, caress my body

You got me going crazy, you

Turn me on

Kevin Lyttle - Turn Me On

My problem with dance music is that they sneak toxic lyrical content under these fun beats and us dancing to it is us approving the message, consciously or subconsciously subscribing to the harmful ideology that produces such behaviour and attitude towards others.

Regaaeton, Hip hop, Rnb, Ndombolo, many more genres and styles, they sound good but say things that I dont condone. It makes me stand up straight, make a grimace in disgust and I enjoy the song less to the point where I stop listening to most artists . Sometimes I am handpicking secular music , sometimes I ditch it entirely for Christian Hip Hop with great sound! Because a lot has improved since the mid-10s when I first gave Christian Hip Hop a chance to evade "Illuminati music". But the sound wasnt my cup of tea, the wordplay was too simple and the emotions in me weren't stirted up enough by this tame and timid music. God is the Lion of Juda, but the lion who seeks to devour sheep seemingly had all the good music. Now I know that I will always have Congolese christian music and international gospel from Kenya or the USA (whether it's Kirk Franklin/Mary Mary, Gospel groups, choirs or hillsong). But what about music with beats and rhymes? What about riffs and runs in music that you dont pray to? Cant you surround ourselves with God's music throughout the whole day?

I am happy to see the improvements and progress of Christian hip hop amd Christian Rnb. I am a new fan of many artists ,some of which are active in the ministry through song or as youth pastor who deveral years already.

I can share the songs I like andnthe artists that I discovered since my rediscovery.

Still, some model their sound a lot after secular templates and trends (a christian Drake, Eminem, J cole or Kendrick Lamar).

Same goes for singers who sound like male or female rnb singers or pop stars in the secular music industry.

Some like this "Pendant" music because their listening habits dont really have to change . But I prefer individuals with own sounds and words and a drive snd a vision that is 1 of 1.

The souls still being reached and saved, so the main focus is the world of unbelivers for some artists who want to evangelize through their music.

Next year, I'll share my christian music that I created as an Artist in the form of albums.

While I must admit that Jesus came to heal and save us and not to enjoy the company of the righteous, I feel like we need music to goes deeper into the reality of thebfaith and the mystery of the Word of God. I want to make music for the believers who want to go forward and get even closer to God after being saved and called Child Of God.

What do you do after you give your life?

What can you learn in the Bible?

How can youblive a fulfillingsoirtual life?

How tonresolve inner conflicts by having worldly ambitions, sinful flesh and temptations by Satan?

How to repent and rededicate yourself to Christ?

And many more questions about how to live as a christian and think about God, Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

I want to help us with what I have learned from my father who is a Pastor and what my life experiences as lifelong Christian have informed me with. I will heal and deepen my own faith as me making Christian art and deciding to share my testimony forces me to reflect on my actions and the longings of my heart and desires of the flesh. So maikng Christian music is not to brag about my Holiness, but a reminder of my human flaws and virtues, my values and vision, and above God's faithful love for his imperfect child.

Here are few videos of my Christian music:

REVIEWING THE CHARTS: 15/07/2023 (Taylor Swift’s ‘Speak Now - Taylor’s Version’)

Content warning: Hoes

For a sixth week, Dave and Cench sit on the UK Singles Chart throne with “Sprinter”, and welcome back to REVIEWING THE CHARTS!

Rundown

As always, we start with our notable dropouts - songs exiting the UK Top 75, which is what I cover, after five weeks in the region or a peak in the top 40, and man, this was a bizarre week, and for stupid reasons. The UK Singles Chart has a rule called ACR in which the streaming data of songs are considered less valuable to the chart after three weeks of decline and it seemed like this week was a heavy hit for many songs thanks to ACR more than natural dropouts, and since it wasn’t a particularly busy week - when it would be if you didn’t have the second arbitrary rule of the three-song limit, since Taylor Swift would have charted many more deep cuts - tons of songs that weren’t really gaining spectacularly and stick around on Spotify ran up the charts in response. As a result, most of the chart movement here is pretty much artifical, but regardless, we still say farewell to “Give it to Me” by Matt Sassari, “TMO (Turn Me On)” by Luude and Bru-C featuring Kevin Lyttle, “Maria Maria” by TECH IT DEEP - bad week for EDM remixes of 2000s pop songs, I suppose - “Heaven” by Niall Horan, “Rush” by Ayra Starr, “Karma” and “Anti-Hero” by Taylor Swift, “Forget Me” by Lewis Capaldi and “Seventeen Going Under” by Sam Fender.

Now what’s always infinitely more interesting are what’s filling in the gaps - our returns and notable gains. Okay, maybe I should change that “always” to “usually” because this was a disproportionately good week for the bottom-feeders and older songs that I thought people had been over with by now. We see returns for older songs like “Everywhere” by Fleetwood Mac at #75, “Bad Habits” by Ed Sheeran at #73, “Chemical” by Post Malone at #72, “messy in heaven” by venbee and goddard. at #71 and “Riptide” by Vance Joy at #64, as well as boosts for “I Ain’t Worried” by OneRepublic at #63, Goddamn “Mr. Brightside” at #62, “I’m Good (Blue)” by David Guetta and Bebe Rexha at #61, “Boy’s a liar” by PinkPantheress at #60 and “Die for You” by The Weeknd at #50. To be fair, however, we do see a lot of newer or current hits taking advantage and rising to the occasion with “Mona Lisa” by Dominic Fike and Luke Combs’ cover of “Fast Car” returning to #70 and #64 respectively, and D-Block Europe getting “Side Effects” to return to a new peak of #53 thanks to their album, which we’ll get to later. Outside of that, we see gains for “Dance Around It” by Joel Corry and Caity Baser at #65, “UNAVAILABLE” by Davido featuring Musa Keys at #57, “Eyes Closed” by Ed Sheeran at #55, “Don’t Say Love” by Leigh-Anne at #54, “Say Yes to Heaven” by Lana Del Rey at #47, “Closer” by Bou featuring Slay at #39 - that’s two samples of Robert Miles’ “Children” in the top 40 now - “Relax My Eyes” by ANOTR and Abel Balder at #37, “Talibans” by Byron Messia at #31, “So Much in Love” by D.O.D at #24, “How Does it Feel” by Tom Grennan at #17, “umean” by Gunna at #12 and “Popular” by The Weeknd, Playboi Carti and Madonna at #11, with “0800 HEAVEN” by Nathan Dawe, Joel Corry and Ella Henderson making its way into the top 10 at #9.

This week’s top five on the UK Singles Chart consists of “(It Goes Like) Nanana” by Peggy Gou at #5, “Who Told You” by J Hus featuring Drake at #4 - expect a boost next week with the album - “Cruel Summer” by Taylor Swift at #3, no doubt helped a little bit by the residual catalogue streams from the Speak Now re-recording, “vampire” by Olivia Rodrigo steady at #2 and finally, of course, “Sprinter” at the very top. Now for our pretty small bunch of new songs, starting with some newcomers and ending with some big names.

NEW ARRIVALS

#69 - “What it Is” - Doechii

Produced by J. White Did It and Brian Kennedy

We only have five new entries on this week’s chart, with three of them being connected to big album releases, but the first two are songs from up-and-coming artists making their debut to the UK Top 75, though not the chart overall. Firstly, we have Doechii, a rapper from Florida signed to Top Dawg Entertainment, most known for handling SZA and Kendrick Lamar. She’s had buzz for a while, especially with her songs “Crazy” and “Persuasive”, neither of which I found very impressive, but this new song appears to be her real breakout hit. Initially, she needed the help of a Kodak Black-assisted version, subtitled “(Block Boy)”, but it turns out that after both versions were released, the solo rendition is what most people prefer because... I mean, even if the song was terrible, what wouldn’t you pick over Kodak Black? It does help that the song - that being the solo version, which I am assuming is the charting version - is pretty good, with J. White’s signature piano stabs sounding a bit off against the weedy guitar interpolated from TLC’s “No Scrubs” - it hit #3 in 1999 - but that very much seems to be the point. It’s a kind of rough-around-the-edges beat about a rough-around-the-edges guy, with the main conceit of the song being that every thug needs a good girl and vice versa, and I honestly couldn’t care less because the song doesn’t deliver its content in a particularly interesting way, mostly because I don’t think that’s what Doechii is pre-occupied with here. Instead, she spends most of her time sing-rapping incessantly catchy hooks until they are ingrained into your head, and it matters very little what she’s actually saying when every verse, pre-chorus and bridge is just as much a refrain as the actual hook. She’s dripping with charisma, especially in the call-and-response chorus with the gang vocal that gives it a really old-school element contrasted with the modern trap beat. The slinkier acoustics in the second verse are what mostly won me over with this, but what really clinched it wasn’t the bridge or the final chorus, even if the backing harmonies and bass are both pretty sick there, but instead the outro where J. White provides a chant of his own like he’s the Timbaland to Doechii’s Aaliyah, before commanding the beat to ride out. This isn’t anything spectacular but it’s a good throwback jam with a lot of groove that proves Doechii as potentially a force to be reckoned with personality-wise. Just avoid the Kodak Black version.

#59 - “Super Shy” - NewJeans

Produced by Frankie Scoca

NewJeans are a K-pop group but this isn’t here from stan sales. Nope, NewJeans actually get most of their success from streaming, probably because of their more timely mix of R&B and dance-pop being more palatable to the general audiences than the real maximalist nonsense that can occur in BTS or BLACKPINK songs. The songs I’ve heard are generally okay, but nothing special, yet this Powerpuff Girls-inspired cover art almost convinced me before the song started playing. I like The Powerpuff Girls. Cartoon Network series aside, yeah, this is good too. Scoca starts the track with soaring, airy synths and a classic breakbeat rhythm, and whilst I think I’d honestly prefer the track if it kept to this lowkey atmospheric drum and bass vibe, this is still K-pop and NewJeans do not let that happen, as we get a Jersey club pivot with a bilingual rap verse before the breakbeats come back in for the admittedly weak pre-chorus, and whilst the chorus basically absolves the song of any wrongdoing due to sheer quality, the song could really do without that first verse, as it can’t function properly with any interruptions to its natural flow and detailed production that reminds me a whole lot of the Japanese speed garage and future bass I was listening to for a while in the last two years, except on a less dynamic and more chill resonance. This thesis is proven by the fact that the song continues as normal afterwards and drifts off into a pretty dreamy carpet ride, so the first verse really just sticks an awkward dagger in the flow of an otherwise pretty gorgeous track. If Sweet Female Attitude were still making songs today, I wouldn’t be surprised if they came out with something like this. Check it out.

#48 - “Potential” - D-Block Europe

Produced by Eight8, Sean Murdz and Harry Beech

Ah, our favourite boys are back - as if they didn’t debut a song in the top 10 last week - with their newest album DBE World, which debuted at #6 on the Albums Chart, and since they released two singles already, we only get one new track debuting, with the general public choosing this cut, probably because it got the video treatment. DBE songs are a complete coin-flip but I was admittedly kind of surprised by this beat. We have a very melodramatic piano loop that never fully settles into a trap fizzle, instead having a stop-and-start rhythm that leaves Young Adz, in full Auto-Tune croon mode, sounding baffled, and finally, we’re back to my favourite mode of D-Block Europe: unintentionally hilarious. Adz’s flow, full of flubbed rhymes and desperate inflections, trails off in each line, with him nearing his falsetto often and… yeah, I like this one too. Apart from it being kind of funny - Adz being incredibly confused by the idea that despite all this girl’s friends being “hoes”, she is not one, made me laugh - the mix is pretty bad, as is expected, but it creates a cloudy, messy, kind of Drain Gang-esque liquid feel to the track, especially during that chorus which may be the best DBE have ever written in regards to melody and delivery, Adz swooshing perfectly into a fast-paced intimate flow when it starts and bursting into a more energetic delivery, before resorting back into a cowardly melodic falsetto, which fits the uncertainty and instability of this “loving” relationship that can’t separate itself from external factors of DBE’s lives, mostly the fame and crime as one would expect. Young Adz’s second verse is actually a great introspective anecdote, and Dirtbike LB as always sounds devastated, with his moaning ad-libs barely completing his half-finished sentences, emptying all of his flexing so it sounds depressing and honestly kind of pathetic, which given the vulnerability of having Adz sing the chorus with the beat mostly cut out at the end, even within all the machismo and flexing, is probably the point. Maybe I should check out that album because both this and “Pakistan” are some of their best ever songs.

#15 - “Enchanted” (Taylor’s Version) - Taylor Swift

Produced by Christopher Rowe and Taylor Swift

What a surprise. Taylor’s re-recording of her 2010 album Speak Now is #1 on the albums chart, and we have two songs from it debuting, with the only surprise here being that she didn’t get three, mostly because “Cruel Summer” is just that strong. Maybe it says something that all three of Taylor’s charting hits are from the previous decade. Anyways, I’m not particularly big on Speak Now and I’ve yet to listen to the “new” From the Vault tracks, but the album, which originally peaked at #6 here, does feature one of my favourite ever songs from Taylor, “Mine”. It was expected to chart but at the last minute, we got “Enchanted” instead, largely because whilst the song was never a chart hit, it accumulated fan favourite status over the years and has had several close-to-charting viral moments on Spotify and TikTok. I always feel like I go on a spiel when I talk about Taylor on this show so I’ll try and keep these two simple - the original “Enchanted” is fantastic, with its dreamy country guitars and one of Taylor’s most powerful early performances, as well as story-telling that hits in the original but even more so with the pathos of modern Taylor, as the song is concerned with both public reputation and more importantly, attaching oneself to a specific moment in time and never wanting to let it go. The first and final choruses in the original “Enchanted” hit like a truck and the entire track is a clear highlight in her catalogue. Don’t even get me started on the strings or the cooing bridge, it’s just an excellent song in all regards. Does the re-recorded version do it justice? Of course, as for once, the more mature voice lends a great deal of experience as well as fear to the song, and whilst the guitars have gotten scratchier with the mix more echoed, this doesn’t fully lessen the impact or more importantly weight of the song… but it still does. The mixing was of its time in 2010 but there’s a reason why it was mixed like that in 2010, and it turns out that 13 years later, it just hits harder without all the refinements, which is kind of insane because the original song is already pristine, yet I feel like especially on the second chorus, the new production from Christopher Rowe dampens the impact, even if the strings sound a tad more opulent. It is kind of picking hairs here, and really, this has been my problem with all of the re-recordings so far, but this is still an excellently written, composed and performed song, and there’s not much wrong you can do with “Enchanted” regardless of who you are and when and how you do it, so whilst I don’t think it’ll stick around - it’s six minutes after all - I’m not complaining it finally got its time in the Sun.

#6 - “I Can See You” (Taylor’s Version) (From the Vault) - Taylor Swift

Produced by Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff

These “From the Vault” tracks occasionally step on gold with songs like “I Bet You Think About Me” with Chris Stapleton but for the most part, these were outtakes, demos, B-sides, etc. for good reason, and on both Red and Fearless I found not much to praise when it comes to the bonus pieces. Can the same be said for “I Can See You”? Well, first of all, the surf-rock guitars are absolutely not what I’d expect from this era but the clipping riffs are about as sizzling as you’ll ever get with Taylor, and whilst I’d prefer more distortion on Taylor’s voice and in general, just to make this as noisy as possible, the switch in the chorus to wistful country pop is a pretty effective contrast to the more playful verses. This is probably one of Taylor’s hardest-rocking songs, and also one of her sexiest in terms of content, and whilst it’s perhaps not warm enough to sell it fully, it embraces the teenage rebellion angle to great effect. With that said, it’s a bit too long, perhaps? We don’t really need the “You Belong with Me”-esque bridge, and the final chorus isn’t nearly as cathartic as it should feel compared to the previous refrains. Maybe that’s why she cut it - it does feel like it runs out of most of its steam halfway through. Regardless, we still end the week with a pretty good song, even if again, I don’t expect it to last.

Conclusion

Well, this was a great week, wasn’t it? I have barely any complaints with the vast majority of these songs, and I’d call at least two of them great, though I could see them growing on me even further. I would say my least favourite song here is probably “I Can See You” but even then, this week seems to have thrown a lot of what I love into my lap - fuzzy pop rock, throwback R&B, atmospheric drum and bass and a re-recording of one of my favourite Taylor Swift songs. Hell, even though I prefer the original, Taylor still gets Best of the Week for “Enchanted” with the Honourable Mention finding itself in the arms of D-Block Europe once again for “Potential”. With that said, I really, REALLY like pretty much all of these songs, and whilst I have my doubts, I hope they all end up lasting at least a few weeks. We’ll see how that goes though and time will tell but for now, thank you for reading and I’ll see you next week!
