Heck, I’m not sure even Selena Gomez would be able to hit those notes live (sorry, Sel).
I love it so much I try to reach the falsetto heights of the chorus every damn time, even though I do not possess those skills. there’s a time and a place for “I Turn To You” and it’s not in the 2010s, my friend. But this one does all right, I think because Selena’s vocals are pretty pared back and not overworked like, say, Christina Aguilera might do. 9/10 times I will go for an upbeat track over the vocal gymnastics and heartfelt lyrics of a ballad. I mean fundamentally it’s about tizzing yourself up to look good for your romantic partner and like, who can be bothered, but when I hear this song it almost makes me want to put it effort? Bonus points for the A$AP Rocky feature. The aforementioned single that had us all frothing this album before it was even released, “Good For You” is simply sex in song format. Selena Gomez Calls Out "Women Tearing Women Down" After Hailey Bieber’s "I’ll Kill You" Post Good For You While this song is catchy as hell, it also has this incredibly sad thread running through it from the very first lines: “We fall for each other at the wrong time / Only for a moment, but I don’t mind / Guess I don’t know where to draw the line, the line, the line / And we’ll play the same game every night”. Written to an on-off ex who struggles with substance abuse, Justin has since opened up about his struggles with addiction in the past, and told Vogue this year that he went through a detox in 2014 - just after his final breakup with Selena, if my calendar serves me correctly. I mean to me, this song also has post-Bieber PTSD written all over it. I was really happy she cut it, it felt very powerful.” Her ~story~, hmm? The song felt so emotional and real coming from her. She said in a 2016 Tumblr Q&A: “Selena heard it and was into it and she sang it and it just suited her voice and her story so well. even thought it was - fun fact - penned by Charli XCX.
OOOF I wonder if it hurt when this song slapped Justin Bieber in the face? Clearly aimed directly at him. NOTE: I’m doing the Deluxe Edition version because ME AND MY GIRLS, obviously. So maybe this album’s greatness got swept away by the sheer volume of albums coming out that year.īut if you haven’t listened to it on repeat, I urge you to, or if you love it as much as I do and are just reading for the nostalgia, well strap on in as I go through it, track by track. (The “downs” mostly being renowned fuckboy Justin Bieber).Īnd although it was fairly well-received at the time, 2015 was a big year for album releases, and Sel had to jostle with Demi Lovato and 5 Seconds Of Summer for attention, as well as new albums from her ex Justin Bieber (the excellent “Purpose”) and a Zayn-less One Direction with “Made in the AM” which both dropped a month after “Revival”. 12 of the songs were co-written by Selena Gomez hereself, with the whole thing a reflection on the ups and downs of her life from 2013-2015. That might sound dramatic, but I honestly think “Revival” is one of the greatest pop albums maybe ever. Selena Gomez's New Song Is Here & It Sure Sounds Like It's About A Certain Someone
