Project Critique: Jean~Baptiste x Kelsea Martinez – Tulips | Hip Hop Review

Music Review:

“Στο Tulips, οι Jean-Baptiste και Kelsea Martinez επενδύουν σε μια προσεγμένη, σχεδόν μινιμαλιστική αισθητική που δεν φωνάζει αλλά υπαινίσσεται. Η μελωδία ανυψώνει διακριτικά τη διάθεση, σαν ανοιξιάτικο φως που εισβάλλει από μισάνοιχτο παράθυρο. Τα ευκίνητα φωνητικά λειτουργούν ως δίδυμος άξονας ισορροπίας: ευέλικτα, καθαρά, με αρμονική χροιά που δεν κουράζει αλλά καθησυχάζει. Ο ρυθμός, σταθερός και ομαλός, αποφεύγει τις εξάρσεις εντυπωσιασμού και επιλέγει τη διάρκεια. Το αποτέλεσμα είναι ένα κομμάτι που δρα ως ήπιο τονωτικό—όχι με ένταση, αλλά με συνέπεια.”

Lyrics of Jean~Baptiste x Kelsea Martinez – Tulips

Pick her out a dozen tulips
Two lips kissing what the mood is

Moving towards commitment mental sickness cured my mood improving

How I’m feeling isn’t human
Trapped in cycles of Delusion
Rainiest of days
I often claim how nice the afternoon is

Gaining all these feelings all the while yours you slowly losing
Rip the plant out by the root
The flower died before it’s blooming

Morning, evening, afternoon and
Peaceful dreams while I be snoozing

Married to the thought of us
At very least a Civil union

Take one hit now I want more
Ideas of you I adore

On the day we met found out I never been in love before
Felt so right, the hype of trophy wife
I show off my award
Truth is sayings love is blind when every red flag gets ignored

Comfortable my guard I’m dropping
Made my mind up no more plotting
Window shopping women
Don’t proceed no need to weigh my options

Thought I found my Groove like
….Beat boxing
Channel 7 broadcast headline story man the news was shocking

Bailing out on all the plans
Out the blue you high demand

Couldn’t see through all ya flaws but damn you pass the eye exam

How’s a land of Wildfire
Seem more green than Ireland

Break contact then try again
Nother time we cry again

Ain’t a snowball’s chance in hell that we can ever try as friends

Boutta hang it up on this whole love thing I’m Retiring

Try again
Cry again

Orchestrate this heartbreak on the world’s tiniest Violin

(Kelsea Martinez)

I know what you’ve been thinking and I know you tell no lies
I know what you’ve been saying and really ain’t allibied
I’m trippen tossin turning
Baby boy it’s been a while
It’s been a while
My mental wanna give you but my heart
Don’t give a damn
My consciousness is tired
But my hearts hurt by man
I’m trynna change my ways
But that last guy killed your chance
Don’t you know I-
I can’t be you’re type
That last guy
Killed my heart and mind
And I – oh
I’m driving you crazy
I’ll kill away all your dreams

(Both)
Run away run away
Run away
Or enjoy your time
While I let you here
(Run away, run away, run away)
While I let you here
(Run away, run away, run away)
Run away, run away, run away
Or enjoy your time
While I let you here
