I Like the Sound of That delves deeper into the songs the staff are currently obsessed with.
If you haven’t boarded the Kali Uchis train yet, it’s time to board. her third album, red moon of venuscame out last week, and everyone really like thatAlso featured are Best New Artist nominee Omar Apollo, R&B singer Summer Walker and rapper Don Toliver.her tour sold out in minutesShe calls her fans Cutis. Yes, it’s pronounced like “coochie”. come! Sounds fun.
The best part is: Kali Uchis is an unabashed diva.complicated called her “The sultry villain R&B needs right now,” but I think the rest of pop culture needs her too.tired not baked enough eyebrow-based feudIf you’re going to talk shit, talk! Pronounce it! No more girly with a blank canvas. We need some real diva drama.
Kari Uchis’s “Hasta Quando‘ comes in.It is a delusional source (or perhaps Delusion Ex) Someone who keeps telling people she ruined his life even though they were barely together. Are you going to keep talking about me?” Her voice is as sumptuous and prickly as crushed velvet. She is smug and sympathetic. You can actually hear her rolling her eyes when she sings, “‘Cause now that I’m doin’ ” good, livin’ like a queen/Dices que yo la vida te lajodí.”
But nothing compares to the song’s whisper-rapped bridge. The singer smirks and spoils with the vicious sweetness of a true bad bitch. She said, “Your girlfriend talks shit about me just to make her feel better…At the end of the day, if I let her, she’d eat my pussy.” It’s a divine kiss-off. This is the lyrical equivalent of an obsessive ex replying to his 10 text her thread with just an emoji of her painting nails. I am over it all and can only aspire to be so apologetic. ●
