DON'T LOOK BACK IN ANGER : THE SONGS, 2017.


03/sza + travis scott/love galore

Janet once said, "Relax, it's just sex." If it only it were that simple. I mean, we want it to be that way, but oftentimes sex (particularly when it is good) is complicated and can get us all, as they say, "caught up in our feelings." It's also about love. Love of the game, love of the physical connection, and the thrill of trying to make love work or exist where maybe it can't. This is painted beautifully between SZA and Travis Scott on "Love Galore". "Love Galore" is another perfect dramatization of the highs and lows of relations (and casual sex) as presented by SZA. The song, a sensuous dream like R&B number, is the realest of conversations between two lovers who can't quit each other and are largely unavailable on various levels but... that "love".  Yeah, it's just sex until, sometimes, it just isn't, and on "Love Galore" this truth looms large for all parties involved.
