Singer-songwriter The-Dream is set to follow up his last single ‘Love King’ with the T.I-assisted ‘Make Up Bag’. Check it out below…
Despite being immensely talented, I’m increasingly finding that Dream’s body of work for other artists tends to far outdo the quality of his own music. Like the majority of his songs, ‘Make Up Bag’ is indeed catchy, yet that’s pretty much where the ‘good’ starts and stops.
The uberly repetitive chorus, while arguably infectious, cheapens the song (surely something other than “make up bag” repeated x10 would suffice?). While lyrically and on the production tip, the song serves up little of substance and doesn’t do much to distance itself from anything he’s released prior to now.
Some three albums deep, one would think there’d be some variation in his music, yet each release continues to sound like it would fit comfortably on his first album. A fact which has me thinking, perhaps some people are better suited to behind the scenes. Just saying…
