So I do like Selena Gomez and I do like a lot of the songs on this album... but after listening to the whole thing I was sort of like "Huh. Not sure I'd listen to this again."
Selena Gomez has a really beautiful and powerful singing voice- and I think songs like "Lose You To Love Me" really showcase that in a way that is beautiful and heartbreaking. We all have seen Selena Gomez's public life, we know what she's been through and this song in particular just kind of makes me want to cry and I really do feel for her. I'm happy she wrote this song and got those feelings out there... but this is definitely the strongest song on the album and it really kind of shows her talents the best.
The rest of the album though... doesn't highlight her singing voice as much. There are a lot of songs that rely too heavily on Autotune and I just don't think she needs that. The song "People You Know"- a good song for the most part although I do kinda have some small gripes with it that are probably just a personal thing... but she's this amazingly talented singer and I just don't think she needs as much autotune as she uses. It makes the songs a little more forgettable and they just sound like a lot of other pop songs to me.
There are a lot of weird word choices in these songs that I don't think flow nicely. Like I mentioned with the song "People You Know"... It says people 4 times in just one line... and P is just kind of an odd sounding letter in songs... does anyone else not like a lot of the same letter or sound in one song? P is a weird one- especially the word People because my 5th grade teacher was really mean and in class she used to always call us students People... and it was annoying. So... I feel like maybe I just don't like that word and that's why I'm like "ugh this is a lot of times that they say people in this song" but... it's a weird sounding word. I feel like if I ever become a singer- which obviously I'm not going to... I would avoid P words.
So yeah the best songs on the album, obviously "Lose You To Love Me" is my favorite one, but I also like "Ring" "Rare" and "A Sweeter Place." These are the songs that stick out to me the most and the ones I'm like "Wow that has a great sound to it." I probably won't delete this album from my Apple Music just because I like the song Ring a lot- and I know I'm not going to listen to it if it's a single so I need to keep it as an album. It's weird but... that's why I'm reviewing the whole albums in these music mondays.
Like I said I can't say this is a bad album- I just feel like Selena is going to have something better for us someday. I don't know if people will look back on this and think "Wow this is Iconic."And maybe some of her other albums are better and this is just the first one I'm hearing so I'm slightly disappointed. Do you guys have a favorite Selena Gomez song or album? Let me know I'd love to check it out.
Bye!
