So who doesn’t like Judith Hill?
She released this piece last year. I loved the music: the powerful energetic vocals you’d kind of expect from her.
And yet – – – –
The disconnect with anything that’s real, that matters, was stunning to me.
Upscale all the way. A well dressed young man comes out of his room to follow the sound and exits an exclusive hotel dancing down, riding down, carried down, the clean clean street of bright lights through the night until he finds the singer in an expensive dance club.
With video filmed in Thailand because, Judith says in interviews, she always wanted to go there.
Well, who among us hasn’t done that?
The words were fluff. Everything will be okay if we all think positive thoughts and just look for the best.
Magical images in our minds will cut all the chains, so we also can ride to the very top.
Prosperity gospel with a heavy beat.
A wealthy person’s advice to the oppressed.
Or so it seemed a year ago.
Then came 2020, the year from hell. Made worse by a President who tries to make Satan envious.
Okay, so maybe I can get on board with something a little positive. I’ll go with the dancey fancy fantasy.
If it gets a little much, well, I can go with the energy and power of the music.
Good, great sound.
Want to see the words? Here ya go.
