Worth It (feat. Iamsu) for: the lqqks
Y’all just decided All My Friends is Tinashe’s best feature and I’m so fucking thankful. Situation’s not as hopeless as I imagined. We’ll see how long that lasts.
If you look up “basic bop” in the dictionary, you won’t find this song because let’s face it our girl Tinashe still hasn’t made that kind of impact. That doesn’t change the fact Just Say is a basic bop through and through. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but Tinashe is honestly worth so much more than 9 notes (yeah I counted them (yeah I tried to push a clunky New Rules pun here but couldn't)) repeated over and over and over.
Now, on to the important things: the video. Yas. Answer this question: would you even remember about this song without that spectacular video? In a way, it feels so wrong one of her bestest video is “wasted” on a song like this, but it’s so incredible I don’t particularly care.
She serves some amazing looks throughout, yes, she also serves first and foremost
face. Be it a vacuous stare into the void or a fierce femme fatale, her expressions, her intensity, her moves are always on point. One thing I’m sure about, she can only grow as a visual artist, and I can’t wait for the time when we’ll cheerfully look back at Superlove, when we thought it was her best video.
Ah, I almost forgot. My university is in a bit of a shady neighbourhood. One time, while going back to the underground station after lessons, there was this one car with windows down, and Just Say was blasting at full volume. AND I EVEN DARED QUESTION HER IMPACT?! I’m such a flop.
Reaction is mixed in the commentary. For
Posh Spears (5) “this song never lives up to its potential” and
nikkysan (4.5) serves beautiful goldfish: “I mean, it just kinda comes and goes whenever it comes on for me. Fast beat, but I can never remember how this goes nor do I care to replay it to remember how it goes.” It’s literally 9 notes though.
phily969 (6) isn’t impressed either. Maybe he wanted 10 notes. “I like this but that's it, and I know it was well liked on here but I don't get why so many fawn all over it.” Maybe not, considering it barely made Top 40. My wild shot is they’ll let you live another day.
Waiting for a forgiveness card from
constantino (8) any day now: “OOP, bop alert! I honestly didn’t even know this existed!” Add to that a chocolate box and you won’t even have to thank me! In all honesty, though, I’m a bit disappointed nobody referenced that amazeballs video yet.
TRAVVV (8), come here and right this wrong: “Certainly a grower. That glammed out Twin Peaks video helped too.” Seriously, go watch it if you haven’t already. I’ll do the dirty job for you and embed it right here.
