Roshell Anderson- I'm Still In Love With You / Sunshine Lady
I'm Still in Love with You-
This Al Green cover
is inferior. The third stanza of this song has the lyrics, "And I look in
your eyes, and all the years I see". This is a line that, to fit into the
rhythm, Al stresses the syllables to an overarching meter and maintains the
musical pattern. Roshell bomb's the line. I thought Roshell sang the words,
"And I look in your eyes, all fishes...". Before I looked up
the confirmed lyrics, I considered Roshell making a metonymy.
I believed he was referring to his love to be as not just another fish in
the sea and that the similes would roll right in (get it,
huh?). I guess there are great seconds on this song, but Al Green did it first
and did it better. Side note, this song was also penned by Al Jackson, Jr. who
was shot the year I was born, twice. Once by his wife, then during a failed
burglary. I could not locate Roshell's version of this song anywhere online,
let me know.
Sunshine Lady-
Okay. This is a of rap, r&b, and urban
arrogance. Its beat just travels to an endless plodding. "I'm a particular
fella, that likes what he likes, and wants what he wants". I know that
simplicity in lyrics make for easy comprehension, but use an idiom or, at least,
not just interjectionally. Its unassertive effect is confusing. Can Roshell be
specific to the likes, e.g., big butts and wants, e.g., no lies? The sunshine
allusion Roshell makes of his lady are a sunshine smile and that her love
lights and shines on him... I've nothing more to say. He does have a YouTube channel. Start a round table with him.
