American artists Raheem DeVaughn & Grenique have a new album entitled When Butterflies Become Unicorns. The themes are self-love and love, specifically true love.
The music is R&B/Soul. The album has fantastic compositions, with an impressive blend of old-school sounds and contemporary beats.
The tune Poem is a fantastic spoken word piece, accompanied by slow, subtle music that allows the poetry to be heard by listeners. It’s a nice way to start the album.
The song 100 has a catchy beat with an upbeat sound and great energy. It ends with a fantastic, gradient fade-out. It reminds me of Macy Gray’s early works.
Most songs have beautiful, slow music. The tune Purple Flowers (feat. Dovonte McCoy) features a lovely Jazz-style sound that complements the slow dance vibe. It parallels the works of Monica and Mary J. Blige. What A Love (feat. 7xvethegenius) has a ’90s vibe with a dynamic beat. It parallels Salt-N-Pepa’s single Whatta Man, with a slower tempo. There are incredible semi-fast moments. The piece Memory Lane (feat. Bee Boy$oul) features nostalgic music and an incredibly smooth beat. There’s an expressive energy that represents heartbreak. The song Intergalactic features an incredible blend of slow beats mixed with some semi-fast moments. It has an impressive composition. Lullaby has a soothing, yet edgy sound. There’s a remarkable, gradient beat. It parallels the works of R&B artists Mary J. Blige and Toni Braxton. The tune All the Man (feat. Jeff Bradshaw) has a fantastic sound. It has a Destiny’s Child vibe (from their early days). The composition is intricate, with rich music.
The voices of Raheem DeVaughn & Grenique, along with the other artists mentioned in the album, are phenomenal. They each perform soulfully and passionately.
The lyrics are profound and romantic, with songs that are from the heart. It’s a bold choice to use repetition.
Two songs that celebrate a woman who knows what she wants in a relationship. The piece 100 is about the importance of self-love and authenticity. It celebrates the subject of a woman who isn’t afraid to express her desires in a relationship. All the Man (feat. Jeff Bradshaw) celebrates the importance of authenticity, love, and respect. These are the qualities that women look for in a relationship. It also emphasises the essential message that money is not a priority.
A couple of songs describe love more intimately. The song Purple Flowers (feat. Dovonte McCoy) is romantic and soulful. It celebrates a beautiful, vulnerable and intimate kind of love. What A Love (feat. 7xvethegenius) is a genuine and sweet love story. It’s joyful and inspires hope. Intergalactic profoundly describes passion and intimacy. It celebrates pure love, inspiring hope for others. Lullaby is a soothing, hopeful love story. The lyrical simplicity is a suitable choice for this song.
Memory Lane (feat. Bee Boy$oul) is a heartfelt song that showcases genuine vulnerability in the face of heartbreak. It describes the fond memories of good times in a relationship. It’s relatable and sincere.
The lyrics are romantic, with profoundly expressive ways to describe love and heartbreak.
