ABRA - Roses (Official Music Video)

[@Jard111]

She's truly in her own lane. You don't hear anyone making music with this kind of voice, production, and overall vibe. This being 8 years old makes it even more ahead of its time. If someone dropped this today with TikTok, people would go nuts.

[@joannaakerblom]

Exactly!!!

[@fanta8944]

yea, it’s still so raw eight years later.. the only person i can compare her to is kilo kish, two very talented artist with different styles. in my opinion, there’s really no one making music like them. this sound is amazing

[@jajabearrr]

Literally just discovered her, her music is so good! Suprised she isn’t well known.

[@rat7831]

@@fanta8944 literally - my first impression of ABRA was that she was a stronger sounding Kilo (not to devalue Ms. Lakisha bc she's great but its sad how rare this sound feels :( )

[@fanta8944]

@@rat7831 true. Kilo’s cadence/delivery can come off a bit soft sometimes, but I love her whole discography which led me to ABRA. Such a shame to see how rare the sound is, but these gems make it okay .

"I'm young and i'll waste you away" part is the best because it makes you realise that you don't really appreciate what you have because you only focus on what offers you pleasure.

This song helped me through so much depression. Now when I get sad, I revisit this song to feel that same sense of conquering my issues, whatever they may be. Her melancholy mix with passion is how I approach life. It’s like her lyrics and vocals just feel like ultimate acceptance or letting go control. That’s why I adore Abra her new track is so friggin’ fantastic!!!

I haven't obsessed over a musical artist like I have with Abra in 8 or 9 years... it's almost all I listen to. Absolutely adore her.

[@Cybercrayon]

(Verse 1) Tonight Petals fall from pink roses And everything I thought I knew I suppose is a lie Everything dies and everything changes I was never one to have a green thumb And I’m green with envy Of the me that was young and unwise and unknowing The thorns are showing (x4) (Chorus) But you taste best when you're in full bloom Lay in my teeth, my sweet love trophy You can’t be killed if I rip from the roots Take it with grace I’m dumb and I’ll chase I’m young and I’ll waste you away (x4) (Verse 2) Tonight If you leave me I’ll flood out your fire Why don’t you love me like I love you like I want you like I need you Everything dies It’s always too soon to lose to the moon And you’re freaking them out And you look like a fool And you’re starting to know it Your thorns are showing (Alternate Chorus) But you taste best you when you’re in full bloom Lay in in my teeth, my sweet love trophy You can’t be killed if I rip from the roots Take it with grace I’m dumb and I chase I’m young and I’ll waste you away (x4)

[@sailwh0remoon]

+DIKKEXILLY do u like tinashe :3

[@DIKKEXILLY]

without disrespect, i would see Tinashe, more in the category of Britney Spears, Ciara, Taylor Swift, Christina Aguilera.... She doesn't come across as someone who could write they're own song, so creatively i don't like Tinashe, as a pop artist she's pretty cool, nothing special tho....

[@sailwh0remoon]

DIKKEXILLY she wrote and produced all of 4 acclaimed mixtapes along with writing everything in aquarius. she writes for other people besides her and is definitely among the likes of the people u listed. she is basically a more upbeat version of jhene aiko and a r&b alternative to fka twigs.

[@DIKKEXILLY]

I'd have to research that, to believe it, She didn't write 2 On her biggest hit but yet is listed as one of the writers, that's not the same in my eyes. Plus her songs all lack depth to me musically and lyrically, I don't see Tinashe in the category of those women above, sorry

[@user-mu2jz8jv8k]

i agree😍😍👌

[@pabloortix6349]

Everything dies and everything changes, poetic in every sense of the word.

[@laurenzamancini947]

I just stumbled upon this young lady, and I love her voice, in my opinion, (just my opinion), she's kinda sounds a little like the one and only Aaliyah, very pretty voice, and then also, I like that rough side of her as well. But the musical part just doesn't justify her voice. And in some of her looks, she reminded be of that A. Banks chic. I like her too. But this yound woman here needs to get signed to a huge label, and give Bey, and Riri a run for they're money. Keep going girl, you have everything it takes. Good Luck to you.

[@leonida177]

well said

[@laurenzamancini947]

Thanks......

[@MrFeyerwire]

It cannot be a coincidence that she reminds so many people of Aliyah, that is about the best compliment she could ever hope for, Aliyahs music was amazing and it bridged cultural divides.

[@tyler-n1e]

I understand the comments about her sexual graphics in a child's room and with bike and etc, but what I think she is symbolizing is that she was still young and innocent when she was taken advantage of.

[@GordoNLuv]

i honestly don't think she's symbolising anything, she just liked the aesthetic. don't read into this video too much i'm pretty sure it's meaningless.

[@PrincessLukaXD]

exactly what I was thinking

[@cynrez]

She said in an interview that the whole album ROSES is about "loss of innocence"

[@MusicxNeverxDies]

The comments for this video are highly charged with emotion from a large variety of commenters. That is such a beautiful thing and stands as testimony to the potency of this Artist. We aren't Right or Wrong in our interpretations of an Artist's art. The fact that this Artist brings us all out to have feelings is proof of Her. Myself, I see this video and song as a thing about Trauma. Victim to Survivor to Thriver and back around like a cycle. Cause and effect. If one of us stops the cycle, We all win a little bit though. Chin up. Ride out.
