Saweetie And Jhene Aiko’s Dreamy ‘Back To The Streets’ Video Is An Exotic Fantasy

Saweetie kept fans waiting for both the song and the video as she spread her influence across every medium she could. …

There’s still no release date for Saweetie’s long-anticipated Pretty Bitch Music album but in the meantime, the Santa Clara, California-born star has been spreading her influence across as many forms of media as she can. Her near-ubiquity includes appearances on Hot Ones, The Eric Andre Show, and her own Icy Life YouTube series, but that doesn’t mean she’s neglecting the music at all. After months of teasing, Saweetie released her dreamy “Back To The Streets” video with Jhene Aiko today, giving fans another tease of what’s to come.

The video opens with a flashback to Saweetie’s childhood in California’s Central Valley, with Saweetie getting her hair done as her tween crush knocks on the door. She’s advised to let him go because he’s “from the streets” before the video begins in earnest, with a grownup Saweetie riding a custom lowrider beach cruiser through the streets with her friends. They float off into the pink clouds, E.T.-style, and Saweetie performs in various fantasy locales, including a glammed-up beauty supply shop. Jhene joins her in a flowery fairyland and the video closes with a not-so-subtle nod to the song’s TikTok popularity.

Saweetie’s social media popularity is no fluke; from her inspired Beyonce-themed Halloween costumes to her deft reversal of every Twitter controversy, she’s shown the has what it takes to not just survive but thrive in the cutthroat music business. Pretty Bitch Music isn’t due until sometime in 2021, but until it drops, you can be sure she’ll keep hip-hop fans riveted to her every move.

Sadie Brown delivers a heartfelt illusion of a fake life with her new single “Counterfeit”

Sadie Brown

At the heart of “Counterfeit” is a tale of love manipulated for selfish purposes, yet still feels captivating. Sadie Brown’s new single “Counterfeit” invites listeners into the deceptive lull of beautiful and bleak love, one that promises everything while lacking genuine vulnerability, ultimately delivering only heartbreak. Brown adeptly illustrates the anguish of being entangled in a romantic relationship that never fully reveals itself, leaving listeners caught between longing and the painful acknowledgment of reality. Through ethereal pop sensibilities and a bittersweet melody, Brown explores the complexity of a “counterfeit love life” alluring yet reserved, a love that’s perpetually poised to “cut its losses.” The outcome is a sonic experience that feels as vast and unreachable as a memory of love gone awry.

Counterfeit” doesn’t just touch on the hurt that comes from unrequited love; it captures the quiet resignation accompanying it. With “Counterfeit,” Sadie Brown steps into a new creative direction in her music, mixing introspective storytelling with emotional resonance.

Written during the lockdown and produced by Cashybear (Tim Ross, formerly of Cash+David), “Counterfeit” builds a hazy, indie-pop atmosphere that feels grounded and otherworldly. The collaboration with guitarist Jimmy Sims (known for his work with George Ezra) lends a retro warmth, creating swirling riffs that complement Sadie’s soft yet piercing vocal delivery. This subtle instrumentation mirrors the song’s themes: a relationship built on false pretenses, with its sweetness fading away like mist.

Brown draws inspiration from artists like Camera Obscura, Kate Bush, and Lana Del Rey, bringing a charming and restrained sense of vulnerability. Like Joni Mitchell, Brown leans into the contradictions of love, evoking nostalgia but never retreating from the reality of unfulfilled desire. “Counterfeit” is a thought-provoking piece that establishes Sadie Brown as a voice that can authentically convey both the charm and the ache of illusion.

“Is Everything Okay?” by Tom Minor drops an anthemic vibe wrapped in a gold question

Tom Minor

The newest single by Tom Minor, entitled “Is Everything Okay?” presents a compelling fusion of introspective lyrics and vibrant soundscapes, establishing a unique intersection where self-reflection meets the assertiveness of indie rock. The song commences with an almost casual inquiry, “If you are unhappy and you do not know it, what value does it possess?” This opening lyric serves as both a reflective mirror and a cautionary prompt; it suggests that well-meaning inquiries from others may compel listeners to confront uncomfortable truths they might prefer to overlook while seeking clarity within their complex emotions.

What renders “Is Everything Okay?” particularly noteworthy is Minor’s effective amalgamation of contemplative lyricism with a multifaceted, genre-defying composition. While indie rock sound with splashes of new wave and power pop have a discernible influence, the track ventures into unexpected realms of psychedelic music. Under the meticulous production of Teaboy Palmer, the song radiates the vitality of garage rock, simultaneously incorporating subtle elements of soul and R&B. The arrangement, characterized by vibrant guitar riffs and a fluid rhythmic structure, conveys the emotional depth of the message without appearing overly burdensome. Minor skillfully employs melody to construct an engaging groove that embodies optimism and challenge.

Additionally, Tom Minor’s vocal delivery demonstrates notable sincerity, reflecting his earnest intent to engage with the audience personally while allowing them space to process their emotional responses. By the conclusion of “Is Everything Okay?“, this work emerges as a significant addition to the contemporary musical landscape. It acts as a dialogue that invites contemplation of one’s current circumstances. The composition provides a form of sonic therapy that avoids offering simplistic solutions. This piece may represent Tom Minor’s most substantial achievement to date, as it fosters a more profound understanding among his audience.
