Album Review: Roosevelt’s Young Romance Is An Electro Lesson

Young Romance has captured “the artist”/ the world since the beginning of time. From philosophers to painters, everyone is fascinated by the idea of young love. How powerful feels? How risky and magical it can be? And how it transforms you! You are, literally, never the same after your first love, and, in Young Romance, Roosevelt explains why; love shows you that you are a student to Life’s teachings.

It is not just about falling in love; its about learning to love. When you care for a person you have to be open to seeing their flaws, needs, wonders, and desires so as to love them as righteously as possible, but learning to do that for someone else and yourself, all at once, is not easy. No one wants to feel so open because we are focused on how closed off we can become. Thus, it seems right that such a take on love would be placed over a dancing beat. From “Yr Love” to “Last To Know,” Roosevelt, literally, electrifies rhythms so as to show love is electrically confounding, and makes you move as if to dance is to duel and to duel is to fall in love.

We, often, think because we love someone, we can predict their moves and choices. This can prove true, but, when it doesn’t, it can throw us for a looping reminder that we are only running our romances on trusting our perspectives and feelings. Roosevelt emotes our need to trust ourselves to trust and choose the right love from others. His voice feels both patterned and immovable. He shapes his lyrics and places them over his melodies like patches on a jean jacket; no rugged or worn fabric can resist the vibrancy and symbolism of his verses. Moreover, he allows listeners to really take in the sentimental and sound motion he is making to testify to Young Romance.

Roosevelt’s Young Romance comes out on September 28, and it is a smoothly seducing and richly charming take on why we should love “young love.” It is an experience that is not about how long the relationship lasts as much as how long what we learn from it impacts us. That is powerful, and Roosevelt is right deliverer of such power. For More Information On Roosevelt and To Buy Young Romance Click Here.
