Artist Close-Up: Saweetie Is High Maintenance

“Saweetie” is not just a fabulously spun term on “sweetness”, but also an added edge to those that believe sugar cannot burn. The artist known as Saweetie caramelizes any idea that the saccharine cannot leave haters feeling salty. Delicious, defensive, and daring, Saweetie wears a crown in her new ep, High Maintenance, and she fully expects you to watch it shine.

Tracks like, “B.A.N”, “ICY Girl”, and “Respect” are staples of a young woman solidifying her future dominance, while warning anyone that challenges it. Yet, it is how Saweetie annotates her verses that leaves you intrigued. With a voice that struts in fluidity, the rapper/ songstress never punches her competition, but certainly leaves them stunted. The dynamic helps her earn her name, Saweetie; matching the sassiness of this term with the alertness it garners to not mess with someone’ s high maintenance.

The High Maintenance furthers Saweetie on the music map as an image of “kweenliness”, but also a listening ear to what is gaining radio-play. Cool baselines that twist and turn up just enough to not bombard listeners into occasional play. Like Drake, Migos, or a good make-up kit, Saweetie’s sonics can transition from day to night; giving new meaning to either. At night, she is club kid watching for a good man or making sure the one she has does not go bad (“Good Good” or “High Maintenance”). During the day, from “Agua” to “23”, she is a young trying to keep up her self-esteem, but, naturally, battling the confusing meanings between arrogance, humility, and full-on ferocity.
