#10 Where. Is. The. Album.

Image credit



So it has been over four years since SZA has released her critically acclaimed album, CTRL. If you remember anything about 2017, you remember every girl and their mama was bumping CTRL. Personally, when I think of 2017, this album floods my memory with each track. CTRL is an album that has left its mark on my generation, but four years later we have been left with only one question. Where is the album? I mean, with so many leaked songs coming out and her performing on live streams, we have been teased endlessly. It has gotten to the point where she is touring while performing her old album! As much as we love CTRL, it is time for something new. We can only cry out our eyes to “Supermodel” or “20 Something” so many times. What is delaying this album from coming out? 

Although she has not released an album since 2017, she, fortunately, did not pull a Frank Ocean and disappear from the face of the earth. She has dropped a couple singles and soundtracks to various movies such as Black Panther or Dear Evan Hansen. She has also been more than active on social media with her Instagram stories always being recent. Although this can be looked at as something good, we are still left to question just how much longer we can go with no album. How is it possible that she has been so active and acts as if she hasn’t kept us on the fence about this album for years? I guess we shouldn’t rush art, but at the same time, IT HAS BEEN 4 YEARS! I guess we’ll just keep crying to CTRL in the meantime.

    That's crazy that she's taken this long and still hasn't released a new album. Still listen to All The Stars, she's so good on it.

    Hi, Miyali. You have some good content and ideas in your last 4 blogs, and your writing flows well. However, you are a bit brief in your development; you feel a bit rushed. Keep working at analyzing and developing your content. Good visual appeal. Keep blogging!

#9 And Now You Know

  Have you ever taken a second to question where a majority of animal by-products come from? Have you ever questioned how those products get placed on the shelves of grocery markets? Taking a second to do a basic google search on how these products are produced would be beneficial, but since you are already here I will elaborate. The industrialization of farming has been quite possibly the worst thing that has ever come to farming. 99% of farming products like meat, dairy, produce, etc come from these kinds of farms. Why is it so bad? They take cheaper routes to make their products and use methods that are inhumane to animals and just shy of being lethal to humans. Dairy farming is one of the most guilty productions of this. They are extremely inhumane to their cows by injecting them with drugs that make them overproduce milk than what they naturally produce. These drugs then make their way into the products we consume daily. Another way they hurt humans is because of the poll...

#8 Still Over It

  If your girlfriend has been listening to the new Summer Walker album Still Over It you better buy her some flowers. Chances are she gonna be mad at you even though your name isn’t London on Da Track. Summer Walker recently released her sequel album to Over It with Still Over It . This album is after her recent split with her producer and baby’s father, London On Da Track. This album had every girl wanting to know what London’s address is because we just want to “talk.” In Still Over It, Summer Walker rips London up for being an absent father and leaving her during her pregnancy and even calls him out by name for cheating on her. Summer really did NOT hold back at all and gave her a piece of her mind with her beautiful, soft vocals. Each song is full of lyrics and emotion showing she recognizes she deserved better and has been able to get past the heartbreak, but not without the last word. Some songs that stand out to me the most on this album are “ Unloyal ”, “ 4th Baby Ma...

#5: Tailgater Allstate Analysis

  Everyone with a license has some sort of pet peeve amongst other drivers. In the ad, “ Tailgater ” by Allstate, it covers the annoying tailgater on the road that we have all come across at one point. The ad portrays Mayhem driving behind someone, being so close that they are barely touching their bumper. The driver is too distracted by how close the driver behind them is, causing them to not pay attention to the road in front of them. This leads to the driver crashing into the car in front of them, while the driver that was tailgating is able to leave the scene without any damage to their vehicle.  The purpose of the ad is, of course, to convince the reader to buy insurance, but the way it is portrayed is extremely effective. It starts with the approach of relating to the audience, I mean, we have all been there right? Any driver can say they were the ad’s driver at one point, which automatically draws in the demographic they are targeting. The driver then expresses thei...
