Revival

Recently, I listen to lots of great songs. Today I'm going to talk about Selena Gomez's new album 'Revival' and tell you how I feel after listening to it and my opinions on her track lists.

Track 1 - Revival: This is Selena's first song of the album. I like the fact that this song starts with a poem, talking about the uncertainty of reborn. The following lyrics tells us Selena has awakened. I feel like before releasing this album, she got to deal with lots of things. And finally, she solves the problems by herself. After that, she has a clear mind and wants to start a new chapter. Overall, I love this song's concept.

Track 2 - Kill Em With Kindness: When I heard this song, I immediately think of another Selena's song 'Write Your Name' from her previous album, 'Stars Dance'. The rhythm is a bit similar. The lyrics keeps repeated like "kill em with kindness, kill em kill em, kill em with kindness" and "go ahead, go ahead now". I like this kind of repetition. It just helps me easily remember the lyrics.


Track 3 - Hands To Myself: This song is talking about love, obviously. It sounds like a girl cannot control her feeling with the guy and just wants him to be hers. I think 'The Doctor' represents the girl's family and friends. They tell her that the guy is not suitable for her. But, the girl insists that this guy is the one. I don't have this kind of feeling right now, so I am going to listen the other songs.

Track 4 - Same Old Love: The melodic line of the song attracts me. The lyrics of this song is rhyme. But, I was thinking about the actual meaning of the phrase 'same old love' because I am not sure what it really means. Is it a girl got breakup with her boyfriend and got back together again and later breakup again?


Track 5 - Sober: I love Sober a lot. This song got a unique entrance which I really like and want to listen to it. The lyrics, "You don't know how to love me when you're sober", keeps emphasised and repeated. I really love this repetition. And, it put into this song is just perfect. Recommend to listen Sober!!!

Track 6 - Good For You: Before releasing this new album, the single 'Good For You' has already been released. I heard the song and watched the MV quite a number of times. I still remembered when I first heard this song, I asked myself, "Is this voice really belongs to Selena?" This voice sounds really great. And when I listen more, then I know it really belongs to hers. 


Track 7 - Camouflage: This song is played by the piano. The rhythm is kind of slow. I think this song keeps me calm and relaxed. The lyrics of Camouflage is lyrical; I have a picture in my mind when I listen to it.

Track 8 - Me And The Rhythm: I think this song is going to be a hit because it is really easy to remember the lyrics especially the chorus part. The lyrics repeated twice and it is catchy. When I played this song, I sang along with it.


Track 9 - Survivors: The transition from the verse to the chorus can be smoother and more energetic by increasing the pitch. This can help emphasise the main idea of this song, "We are survivors of the wild." Right now, I feel bored to listen to this song.

Track 10 - Body Heat: I like Selena lowering her voice when singing the verse. This song has included Brazil style in it and just makes this song more energetic. I think, definitely, I would choose this song to dance. I am sure this song can help me reduce pressure.


Track 11 - Rise: I like the fact that this song keep using 'you' as the subject because it feels like I have the connection with this song. For the chorus, the backup singers sang with Selena, it is amazing. I can feel that sense of belongings.
