"Heard about the tires on his brand new car,
I knew that he'd drive you crazy..."
I knew that he'd drive you crazy..."
I'm the biggest fan of realness....in life, in people, in conversations, and certainly in music. Melanie Fiona is good for that. And she has the voice to convey the realness that she sings about. I haven't been the girl that she's talking about in "I Been That Girl" but I've heard millions of stories about her, so I know that she exists somewhere. Or everywhere.
After listening to "The MF Life" a few times, I kept coming back to this song, and then before I knew it, it was on repeat. So being the music junkie that I am, I just HAD to know who wrote it. I should have known that Drake was responsible for this. I swear that I love that dude even when I don't know that I'm loving him. And the more I listen to the song, it's too obvious that this is his work, the melody, the adlibs, the realness.
I guess that the reason that this is getting a place on the blog is because I just LOVE songs like this. Simple tracks about simple things that happen to simple people in the most complicated ways. It honestly doesn't get any more real than that.
