inside jamari fox - taking you real deep
everyone has an album that gets them through.
we have talked about that in earlier foxhole conversations.
someone’s “painful album”can bring you comfort within your own pain.
this whole work wolf situation has taken me places emotionally i never thought i had.
one minute i’m happy and the next i’m a mess.
well i was talking to jay and he mentioned he was listening to…
now i had her album in my collection for a minute.
when i listened to it before,
i didn’t “get it”.
my spirit wasn’t ready for it like most albums in my collection.
well in my the middle of a mental thunder storm,
i put it on yesterday to see what jay was talking about.
i get her.
i totally get her.
when i like something,
i have to research it.
i wanted to know where she was coming from when she made this album.
hell i found out she wrote one of my fav beyonce songs,
“pretty hurts”,
as well as rihanna’s “diamonds”.
well her album speaks on:
loneliness
addiction
fear
misery
heartbreak
music i’m sure i shouldn’t be listen to,
but i feel connected to it right now.
“chandelier”,
“burn the pages”,
“fire meets gasoline”,
“dressed in black”,
and “big girls cry” have been speaking to my soul.
last week it was beyonce’s “dangerously in love” album.
this week its “1000 forms of fear”.
whats next week?
lowkey: i love how she doesn’t face the audience.
why?
she has social anxiety.
isn’t that brilliant?
the imagery for this album’s era is fantastic.
