It’s been awhile since I’ve last posted. Hello, world!
Do people even still read blogs and engage with them? The power of AI and digital has us all in a chokehold it seems without original thoughts and voices. BUT I’m still here…
This happens to be the song that currently has me in a chokehold Teddy Swims- Are you even real?
For those that have followed my blogs over the years, you know by now I LOVE music, love to create playlist, love to dance, perform, see live performances…the whole nine yards. R&B is my favorite genre specifically 90’s R&B so any arrangement or lyricist giving those vibes; I’m with it!
Are You Even Real? is only about two minutes and I just can’t get enough! So, yes! They’re wrong for it being so short 😂 I first saw it on TikTok as I perused. Teddy Swims was live in concert and his background singer Devin Velez sang the GIVEON part and I fell in absolute LOVE with the performance and song! Teddy Swims already has a beautiful voice and so does the original GIVEON but when I say, “when Devin Velez takes that mic!…” 🎤 😍
BUTTER. Smooth like butter, baby!
And the words they sing (side eye)…A man into me so much so, they have to ask, “am I even real?!” Now, I’ve heard it before, some might call it “game” others may call it “romantic” but whatever you call it, it wasn’t quite articulated the way this song is giving so, yes…it’s a bop!
XOXO,
Enjoy!
