Top Ten Tuesday: Lil Baby & Drake "Yes Indeed"

This song is...fine. I don't know if it's associated with some sort of meme or just being hyped because of Drake or what. It doesn't seem like an amazing enough song to be at #6, though. Let me know what context I'm missing, if any

Top Ten Tuesday: Childish Gambino "This is America"

TRIGGER WARNING: This video contains graphic depictions of gun violence.

So this is the video for Childish Gambino's "This is America" which debuts at #1 this week. I thought it was powerful and chilling and excellently done. It's horrifying, but it feels very important.



And here's a video interpreting some of the symbolism in the video

Top Ten Tuesday: Camila Cabello "Never Be the Same"

This song jumps up to #6 from #13 last week. It feels like a very old school chorus. I dig it. I also like the different textures of the different parts of the video. And the outfits are a trip!

Top Ten Tuesday: Ariana Grande "No Tears Left To Cry"

This song debuted at #3 this week. The song and the video both kept subverting my expectations which was kind of delightful. I like the song. It's catchy! And I like that people are still making music videos that are very engaging to watch
