Kenya Grace “Afterparty Lover”

When Kenya Grace sings “I don’t want to be your afterparty lover” she really means to say she doesn’t want to only be their afterparty lover. The afterparty loving is already done, she’s singing from the perspective of someone who has fully caught feelings and is trying to figure how to convert a one-off into a full-timer. The sound is very well suited to the subject – Grace’s vocal melody is sticky and assertive while the drum and bass beat lends a clear sense of immediacy and urgency, but also a butterflies-in-stomach twitchiness. There’s a lot of songs like this where you can easily predict how things will probably go for the character, and usually it doesn’t look good. But in this case I’m feeling good about her chances, at least in the short term.
