It's hard to imagine a better dua than LIZZO and Charli XCX. Their new song "Blame It On Your Love" was a highly-anticipated rumor that stemmed from Charli's Pop 2 compilation. Now that she's added LIZZO to the mix it's the summer-bop that we've needed.
She explains on Instagram, "Ok tryna not write the longest caption of eternity so let me TRY condense: 1) I’m so happy this song is out 2) I’m so happy you guys like it (yes - u already know I stalk all your accounts & see what u r saying out there on the Internet) 3) keep tagging me in your videos and also make some memesssss of me, u know I’ll repost 4) I love Lizzo 5) I love Lizzo 6) I love Lizzo 7) this song slaps."

LA songstress TRACE just dropped her new song "All My Friends" and she says, "I wrote this song after the success of my first EP, when I decided that I was going to full heartedly pursue my career in music. I sort of just packed up my bags and went off to LA. It wasn't an easy transition, but I've always felt that true friendships will stay true throughout the shifts that life brings, and this song was a way of me exploring and figuring out who those true friends were. However now, a couple years in, 'All My Friends' has taken on a different meaning for me: it signifies a reflection on the power of relationships in my life. Throughout the process of writing songs over the past two years, I've spent a lot of time thinking about the relationships we keep and why we keep them — how many are life-giving and honest? It's interesting that we’re living in a world ruled by social media, events, and networking, yet at times we feel lonelier than ever, and connections feel more draining and less enjoyable. There's a resounding realization that while our access to people/friends feels limitless and technically easy, it's actually very difficult to cultivate true intimacy. True intimacy requires trust and commitment and oftentimes I feel like we take one, leave the other, or vice versa. Who really shows up when you need them to? So, with 'All My Friends' I want to ask the listener, 'Who are your friends?' because I'm learning the answer is a direct mirror of the person we are." |
