Ok, #Roommates, yall know when the music gawds come they come HARD! Friday Sza dropped off her anticipated ‘Ctrl’ album and we are absolutely here for it. If you havent given the 14-track project a listen and youre a twenty-something just trying to figure this ish out, do yourself a favor and let Miss Sza speak to you!
‘Ctrl’ is actuals! Imagine The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill tailored for our generation. Sza takes listeners on a journey like no other with the entire album, from 20 Something to Supermodels. But here are 5 take-aways if you fall under the aforementioned category.
1. Your 20s are a blur of WTF is going on with a side of, Im grown as hell, I got this! and an occasional, additional side of getting played by someones dusty a** son? I think TF not, topped with Lets take this day by day and hope for the best.
2. Insecurities are realand thats okto an extent. I dont know about yall but I wear my crown every day, but it may get a little heavy, even crooked now and again. Perfect self-esteem is non-exsistent and we all need a #CrownCheck from time to time. Sometimes we dont feel pretty enough, thick enough, skinny enough, or whatever the case may be. We will also sometimes feel like we NEED that other person just to have joy or happiness. Be aware of your insecurities and then get out of that thought process. You are ENOUGH!
3. Number three is for the other woman with pride in her position. Lets not act like side chicks are being secretive about their position in 2017. But for you, my friends, you may find theres a bigger lesson in Szas song, The Weekend. In your 20s you will find yourself in a situation where you have to take what you can get (a temporary job, not the promotion you wantedbut something close enough, etc.), you have to strap up your boots and make it look sexy! Listen to the song, youll feel it!
4. You will love people and give them more than they may deserve but you cant let that define you, or how you feel about yourself! Your 20s is about figuring yourself out, and making necessary changes. You cant get the snakes out of the grass unless you see the snakes so be thankful for your ability to see the craziness and then make your next order of business a lawnmower! It will hurt. You will be OK, but its necessary.
5. 20s confusion, chaos, stress, and doubt WILL happen, but take control! Dont let your 20s keep you down! Find a good album to get your through, cry a little, rebel, adjust your crown and keep it moving!
What did you take away from the album, Roommates?!
