I’m absolutely head over heels in love with the gorgeous new song “All the Stars” by Kendrick Lamar and SZA. The track is one of many fantastic songs featured on the soundtrack for the monster hit film Black Panther. A stylistic departure for Lamar, the song is highly melodic, with lush sweeping synths and orchestration, set to a captivating dance beat. His vocals are mesmerizing and powerful as he sings the biting lyrics about duplicity and betrayal:
Love, let’s talk about love Is it anything and everything you hoped for? Or do the feeling haunt you? I know the feeling haunt you
Tell me what you gon’ do to me Confrontation ain’t nothin’ new to me You can bring a bullet, bring a sword Bring a morgue, but you can’t bring the truth to me Fuck you and all your expectations I don’t even want your congratulations I recognize your false confidence and calculated promises all in your conversation I hate people that feel entitled Look at me crazy ’cause I ain’t invite you Oh, you important? You the moral to the story, you endorsing? Motherfucker, I don’t even like you Corrupt a man’s heart with a gift That’s how you find out who you dealin’ with A small percentage, who I’m building with I want the credit if I’m losing or winning On my momma that’s the realest shit
And SZA blows our minds with her beautiful, soulful vocals that raise goosebumps. She passionately sings about her inability to resist another’s charms despite the fact he’s no good for her, always putting her faith in love and the stars, and when their voices are combined, it’s sheer bliss.
This may be the night that my dreams might let me know All the stars are closer, all the stars are closer, all the stars are closer This may be the night that my dreams might let me know All the stars are closer, all the stars are closer, all the stars are closer
Skin covered in ego Get to talkin’, I get involved, like a rebound No control, no off switch in the way that you bringing me down It’s a turn on, get it away from me Know you mean wrong, keep away from me And it’s all wrong, get it away from me, yeah I just cry for no reason, I just pray for no reason I just thank for the life, for the day, for the hours and another life breathin’ I did it all ’cause it feel good You could live it all if you feel bad Better live your life We are running out of time
The video for the song is positively stunning. I started to describe it, but it’s so complex and filled with such extraordinary imagery that you just need to watch it for yourself and form your own opinions. Prepare to be amazed!
