This is what I love about The Gift, Beyoncé takes the father/son narrative of the movie and transfers the themes for a mother/daughter relationship. “Keys to the Kingdom” even though Bey isn’t in it feels like such a message to girls entering adolescence and losing their spark from the judgement of the world. “Bigger” and “Find Your Way Back” are Beyoncé passing on her knowledge of the world not through the distant stateliness of fatherhood but the warmth and joy of motherhood.BIGGER delivers one of Bey's warmest vocals yet. I've been so happy to hear her embrace her lower register as of late, and it really works on these lyrics that show off her benevolent wisdom. Her generosity! I know the song is connected to the story of Simba but I've always heard it as such a delicate display of motherhood, as if in direct conversation with her children, in a way I haven't heard since "Blue."
I will only entertain the notion that Never Really Over is overrated if it means propping up the superior single Harleys in Hawaii.
Must be nice to have a life!Probably should have said to y'all we were going to be taking breaks every Friday and Saturday...
Fixed!I actually gave 8 a 9, not a 10.
