Kid Cudi And Phoebe Bridgers Duet About Self-Love On Their New Collab ‘Lovin’ Me’
Bridgers’ guest spot is a highlight of Cudi’s new album ‘Man On The Moon III: The Chosen.’ …
Kid Cudi announced the tracklist for his now-released album Man On The Moon III: The Chosen earlier this week, and one of the standout guests featured on it is Phoebe Bridgers. Now that the album has dropped, their joint effort, “Lovin’ Me,” is out in the world.
While Bridgers’ collab with The 1975 saw the band take on her style, the opposite happens with her Cudi guest spot. “Lovin’ Me” isn’t a folk-leaning song, but instead a hip-hop-inspired ballad on which the two sing about self-love.
While this may not have been the most expected collaboration in the world, it’s not out of Cudi’s wheelhouse. He has worked with a number of indie artists on songs before, including Haim, St. Vincent, Father John Misty, and MGMT.
There was a hint this summer that the two artists had some mutual admiration. Cudi shared on Twitter that he was listening to Bridgers’ song “Scott Street,” to which she replied, “hum with me.” Cudi responded, “ur dope” before James Blake chimed in, “Can I hum too?” Cudi replied, “Phoebe and James [thinking emoji] sounds like something,” then Bridgers capped off the exchange, “oh f**ccckkkk.”
hum with me

iLLLACAT brings sharp bars and catchy production with latest release “Like Dat”
iLLLACAT drops “Like Dat,” a Hip-Hop cut with punchy production, percussion, and synths that give the record movement. Bookie comes on the track and sets the tone immediately with the hard lines, “Get out of my face with the gas, we’re on the chase for the cash, if you’re moving fake I’ll pass, I’ll pack it, and I’ll put it in a bag.” The delivery is right there in the money, the movement, and staying away from anything fake.
The production leaves plenty of space to land those words. Percussion powers the track with synths adding another layer to the beat, a backdrop for the straight-up vocal approach. “Like Dat” maintains tight energy and, instead of overcomplicating its message, lets the verses do the work in terms of personality.
The line, “Steady making money while smoking a pain killer” provides another memorable moment and an insight into the attitude that runs throughout the record. iLLLACAT brings us “Like Dat”, a pure hip-hop joint with Bookie on the track. A catchy production that stays sharp, an assertive voice, memorable lines, and enough rhythmic punch to keep the record moving.

Emilie Thorsby turns self-belief into a bold musical statement with latest release “Amazing as hell”
Emilie Thorsby‘s latest release, “Amazing as hell,” is a song about self-belief, independence, and choosing to stop caring what others think. It’s about being comfortable in your skin and not apologizing for it. This attitude gives the record a direct personality, and the catchy guitars help carry the message with energy rather than a heavy-handed statement.
The lyrics are judgmental directly, “You’re the one that always judge me, you choose to test me when I show the best of me, you treat like an old pair of jeans.” The frustration of being judged even when showing your best side. There’s a playful defiance in “Let them talk, what the hell were all those rules” that fits with this song’s refusal to be boxed in by others’ expectations.
“Amazing as hell” works because it’s about a simple message, know your value, own your space, and don’t spend your life asking permission from everyone around you. Emilie Thorsby delivers a spirited track that makes self-acceptance its biggest strength, with catchy guitar work reinforcing that attitude.Emilie Thorsby turns self-belief into a bold musical statement with “Amazing as hell”
