City Girls, known for their catchy flow and energetic hits, have just released their latest album, \u201cRAW\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It features catchy beats, great lyrics, and a mix of distinctive styles and sounds. Whether you are a hip-hop, R&amp;B, or good music fan, \u201cRAW\u201d will indeed have something for everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The album features a mix of hard-hitting lyrics and fun, upbeat tracks that will get stuck in your head. It also features the duo&#8217;s signature sound and style, blending trap beats with catchy hooks and funny and relatable lyrics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The features on the album are also hard-hitting. Lil Durk and Usher add their own blend of uniqueness to the project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the slow and sultry &#8220;Emotions&#8221; to the fast-paced, energetic &#8220;Work For It&#8221;, the album will have something for everyone. It&#8217;s raw and honest lyrics set \u201cRAW\u201d apart from City Girls&#8217; earlier albums.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">City Girls&#8217; new album has been praised for its cohesive sound and engaging songs, but the album has received mixed reviews.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One standout track on the album is &#8220;Show Me The Money,&#8221; which features City Girls&#8217; signature style of bragging about their wealth and success. The song is a banger and will get listeners pumped and ready to party.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A second exceptional song is &#8220;Face Down,&#8221; which features a catchy beat and lyrics about living life to the fullest. The song is a groovy, turned-up anthem that makes you feel like anything is possible. In addition to the standout tracks, \u201cRAW\u201d features a mix of distinctive styles and sounds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The third track that stood out to me was &#8220;F*** D To The A\u201d. The song is an authentic and catchy track that will have listeners laughing and dancing along. The quality of the song sounds similar to their Soundcloud days, where Miami\u2019s voice sounds scratchy and JT&#8217;s voice is in a yelling pitch almost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last track to peak my attention is &#8220;Flashy,&#8221; a harmonious song displaying the duo&#8217;s vocal range and\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ability to deliver a dreamy vibe performance featuring Kim Petras. This song took me by surprise because it showcases their versatility. Also, adding Petras to the track gave it the pop feel the song needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My least favorite songs on the album were &#8220;Tonite&#8221; and &#8220;Pinata.&#8221; I didn&#8217;t like \u201cTonite\u201d as much as I would have because the song is not their speed. I understand wanting to expand your audience, but there are lanes they should stay out of, and R&amp;B is one of them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Pinata&#8221;\u00a0 was all over the place. That should have been a solo song, not added to the project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The album is terrific. The duo delivers with topics about money, success, heartbreak and betrayal in bold and unapologetic ways and this gives the album a unique and gritty feel.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The album explores new themes and sounds, displaying the group&#8217;s growth and evolution as artists. I was continuously intrigued with every song that played next.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All around, \u201cRAW\u201d is a solid album from City Girls. The project is a must-listen for fans of the duo and anyone who enjoys trap music with a catchy hook. The album is well-produced, with each track featuring a unique production and a memorable chorus that will stick in listener&#8217;s heads.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google Image Taniyah Collins Staff Writer\u00a0 The new City Girls album has been highly expected and is finally here.
