Y&#8217;all, I&#8217;ve been listening to S O M U C H music lately. Like, it is honestly ridiculous. And I&#8217;ve fallen into a hole of listening to songs, but slowed down. And it&#8217;s a certified vibe. An every song is different. Every song has a different energy and it&#8217;s so nice and refreshing. So, I thought I&#8217;d introduce y&#8217;all to some slowed down songs in hopes that you like them! So, without further ado, here we go.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>First off, Drama by Roy Woods ft. Drake<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/s1MjKLifJ_g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This song does have profanity, so listen cautiously. But it takes an already amazing song and adds a little spice. Honestly, listening to this song, it reminds me of a movie score. Like, it&#8217;s not that boujee where there&#8217;s an entire orchestra in the background, but I feel like it would be in a modern rendition of a Bluford Heights book or The Wood. Something like that.<\/p>\n<p>Next, Trust- Brent Faiyaz<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xhsjXwyZwYw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This version of the song is IMMACULATE!!!!!! The flavor is beyond sensational.\u00a0 Ugh, Brent is almost perfect before the edit. But after??? It&#8217;s a whole new world. This version really reminds me of the summer in the bottom of a pool. Like, you&#8217;re just chilling with your friends and this song is blaring through speakers but it&#8217;s muffled through the water. It&#8217;s just gorgeous. I love this song.<\/p>\n<p>After that is Die For You by The Weeknd<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TSSJtAsZcpU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This is probably one of my favorite songs in the world. The original is gorgeous and this version just amps that up. Now, the best part of this version is the chorus. It&#8217;s absolutely a m a z i n g. The slowness of the song mixed with the depth of the voice really just makes this perfect. This song was MADE for 3 A.M. drives with no cars on the road and street lamps on the both sides. That mental image mixed with this song is just *chef&#8217;s kiss*<\/p>\n<p>Next to last is Big Poppa by Notorious B.I.G.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/K4a2cHQtNVs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This song does have some profanity and suggestive lyrics, so, again, listen cautiously. HOWEVER, Biggie is such a monumental rapper so I felt obligated to share this absolute masterpiece. Now, the original version of this song is amazing and I will always love it. But the slow version??? It adds more emotion to the words and the voice. Ugh, I think this is one of my favorites that I&#8217;ve discovered.<\/p>\n<p>And lastly, Everybody Wants to Rule The World by Tears for Fears<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dEx6I0GRS6E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This song is specifically for Callie. I know she adores Tear for Fears so I wanted to give her this. The original of this song is amazing. It&#8217;s kinda retro and gives you a good sense of the alternative scene back in the 80&#8217;s. The slowed version takes that and amplifies it. When I listen to this, I feel like I&#8217;m driving in the dessert in Nevada and there&#8217;s only me, my &#8217;83 Lincoln, and the clothes in my back seat. Just beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I hope you enjoy these songs and if you have any suggestions, I&#8217;d love them! I love you all and hope to see you soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay. Y&#8217;all, I&#8217;ve been listening to S O M U C H music lately.
