Rest in Paradise to the Brooklyn native Pop Smoke, many of his fans are still mourning the lost. Gone too soon, he passed away earlier this year at 21 years old, months before releasing his album ‘Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon.’ It’s a perfect album to end the summer and transition into the Cuffing Season as it continues to top the charts.
The song ‘What You Know About Love’ off of the album samples Differences by Ginuwine and has a 90s feel. It is a good rap song to add to your date playlist. Beware, Pop Smoke’s deep seductive voice sets the mood and can give you some nostalgia.
The newest single from Jorja Smith, "Come Over", starts with Jorja Smith vocalizing before the beat drops. Who could resist her beautiful accent asking to ‘"Come Over"? Jorja tells the story of boy meets girl, she wants to know what’s on her lover’s mind but doesn’t want to ask. She works hard not to lose him and he loves that.
Popcaan comes on and amplifies the Caribbean vibe of the song. "Come Over" by Jorja Smith featuring Popcaan is perfect for your upbeat R&B playlist, it has a club vibe. Best to listen to with a drink in your hand (of course, responsibly!).
