She's truly in her own lane. You don't hear anyone making music with this kind of voice, production, and overall vibe. This being 8 years old makes it even more ahead of its time. If someone dropped this today with TikTok, people would go nuts.
yea, it’s still so raw eight years later.. the only person i can compare her to is kilo kish, two very talented artist with different styles. in my opinion, there’s really no one making music like them. this sound is amazing
@@fanta8944 literally - my first impression of ABRA was that she was a stronger sounding Kilo (not to devalue Ms. Lakisha bc she's great but its sad how rare this sound feels :( )
@@rat7831 true. Kilo’s cadence/delivery can come off a bit soft sometimes, but I love her whole discography which led me to ABRA. Such a shame to see how rare the sound is, but these gems make it okay .
"I'm young and i'll waste you away" part is the best because it makes you realise that you don't really appreciate what you have because you only focus on what offers you pleasure.
Immediate gratification at the present moment and then it takes time to recollect those long time memories like a bouquet of roses because you want to choose the best ones
+aquawatereau oui maid Abra n'est pas entendu cette chanson parcque elle est nee mid 90s?? 1994? Je n'ai pas su Inner city jusqua cet ete parce que j'ai entendu a Pandora app de mystique. Mais je rappele les chansons de 90s house musique commie inner de mon l'infance. je suis nee 1990 bien que.
ABRA, BANKS, M.I.A. Lykke Li, Jhene Aiko, SZA, Lana Del Rey, Sevdaliza, Syd from The Internet, Noname Gypsy, Kilo Kish, FKA Twigs, Kelela, KIMONOMANDEM, Kali Uchis, Lorn, Doja Cat, Tei Shei, I Love the internet for bringing me all these Beautiful Creative Women makin Music (L)
without disrespect, i would see Tinashe, more in the category of Britney Spears, Ciara, Taylor Swift, Christina Aguilera.... She doesn't come across as someone who could write they're own song, so creatively i don't like Tinashe, as a pop artist she's pretty cool, nothing special tho....
DIKKEXILLY she wrote and produced all of 4 acclaimed mixtapes along with writing everything in aquarius. she writes for other people besides her and is definitely among the likes of the people u listed. she is basically a more upbeat version of jhene aiko and a r&b alternative to fka twigs.
I'd have to research that, to believe it, She didn't write 2 On her biggest hit but yet is listed as one of the writers, that's not the same in my eyes. Plus her songs all lack depth to me musically and lyrically, I don't see Tinashe in the category of those women above, sorry
This song helped me through so much depression. Now when I get sad, I revisit this song to feel that same sense of conquering my issues, whatever they may be. Her melancholy mix with passion is how I approach life. It’s like her lyrics and vocals just feel like ultimate acceptance or letting go control. That’s why I adore Abra her new track is so friggin’ fantastic!!!
(Verse 1) Tonight Petals fall from pink roses And everything I thought I knew I suppose is a lie Everything dies and everything changes I was never one to have a green thumb And I’m green with envy Of the me that was young and unwise and unknowing The thorns are showing (x4) (Chorus) But you taste best when you're in full bloom Lay in my teeth, my sweet love trophy You can’t be killed if I rip from the roots Take it with grace I’m dumb and I’ll chase I’m young and I’ll waste you away (x4) (Verse 2) Tonight If you leave me I’ll flood out your fire Why don’t you love me like I love you like I want you like I need you Everything dies It’s always too soon to lose to the moon And you’re freaking them out And you look like a fool And you’re starting to know it Your thorns are showing (Alternate Chorus) But you taste best you when you’re in full bloom Lay in in my teeth, my sweet love trophy You can’t be killed if I rip from the roots Take it with grace I’m dumb and I chase I’m young and I’ll waste you away (x4)
Yes, time for stereotypes to be ripped apart. That's what I love about the younger generations. They don't give a F*** about these stupid stereotypes. Talent comes in all forms. Black people, brown people, red people, blue people DON'T all think, feel, and produce the same!! Abra is a queen!
I just stumbled upon this young lady, and I love her voice, in my opinion, (just my opinion), she's kinda sounds a little like the one and only Aaliyah, very pretty voice, and then also, I like that rough side of her as well. But the musical part just doesn't justify her voice. And in some of her looks, she reminded be of that A. Banks chic. I like her too. But this yound woman here needs to get signed to a huge label, and give Bey, and Riri a run for they're money. Keep going girl, you have everything it takes. Good Luck to you.
It cannot be a coincidence that she reminds so many people of Aliyah, that is about the best compliment she could ever hope for, Aliyahs music was amazing and it bridged cultural divides.
I understand the comments about her sexual graphics in a child's room and with bike and etc, but what I think she is symbolizing is that she was still young and innocent when she was taken advantage of.
The comments for this video are highly charged with emotion from a large variety of commenters. That is such a beautiful thing and stands as testimony to the potency of this Artist. We aren't Right or Wrong in our interpretations of an Artist's art. The fact that this Artist brings us all out to have feelings is proof of Her. Myself, I see this video and song as a thing about Trauma. Victim to Survivor to Thriver and back around like a cycle. Cause and effect. If one of us stops the cycle, We all win a little bit though. Chin up. Ride out.
I was totally obsessed with this sound for a few years…and my girlfriend at the time was totally jealous…and it totally led to our breakup…but this music is still jamming…
Abra slays me I swear! She is a star. I can't wait until more people hear her music. It's different from what is out now that's why she's going far. I am so excited to see her come up!!
She's truly in her own lane. You don't hear anyone making music with this kind of voice, production, and overall vibe. This being 8 years old makes it even more ahead of its time. If someone dropped this today with TikTok, people would go nuts.

8 years later still a banger wtf 🤫
11 months later still a banger 😏
I hope she is doing well. I miss her music
Uggghhh me tooo! What is she even doing these days?!
I said this a year ago 😂 I'm not holding my breath... hope she's good.

+Trick Baby umm no lol not all french are racist.
I can't explain to myself why I love this song so much, it's like a song I've heard in my dreams before---
All of my music sounds like a trip I had in my dreams then I wake up and it feels to good to be real.
yes, it really is magical
Cos you find yourself in that song 😊
80s house vibe:))
90s
Luigi K thought i was the only one!
She's become one of my favourite singers in this moment.
Who still blasts this in 2019 ??
Of course

This song feels like having a relationship with a very older man while you're young
Yess!! YESS!

I agree fully with this statement

+WINKY BROWN True😍

+glory_and_gore Dont forget Empress Of
It's like early 90s r&b but smoother.
And with a dark background, like is always something wrong with the picture. I'm addicted!
$&&$@"
I'm a dick
I'm addicted to you
More like late 80s to me
It’s late 80s beat
My favorite Abra song.
“You can’t be killed if I rip from the roots”
full blast in the car on a late night>>
timeless artist, jesus.
This song is featured on the newest Revlon commercial! When I heard it on cable tv I thought I was trippin!!! Thats whats up Abra girl!!!!👏👏👏👏
WE NEED NEW MUSIC ABRA!!! BLESS US PEASANTS WITH YOUR MAGNIFICENT TUNES!
(Verse 1)
Tonight
Petals fall from pink roses
And everything I thought I knew
I suppose is a lie
Everything dies and everything changes
I was never one to have a green thumb
And I’m green with envy
Of the me that was young and unwise and unknowing
The thorns are showing (x4)
(Chorus)
But you taste best when you're in full bloom
Lay in my teeth, my sweet love trophy
You can’t be killed if I rip from the roots
Take it with grace
I’m dumb and I’ll chase
I’m young and I’ll waste you away (x4)
(Verse 2)
Tonight
If you leave me I’ll flood out your fire
Why don’t you love me like I love you like I want you like I need you
Everything dies
It’s always too soon to lose to the moon
And you’re freaking them out
And you look like a fool
And you’re starting to know it
Your thorns are showing
(Alternate Chorus)
But you taste best you when you’re in full bloom
Lay in in my teeth, my sweet love trophy
You can’t be killed if I rip from the roots
Take it with grace
I’m dumb and I chase
I’m young and I’ll waste you away (x4)
Thanks, great incite to the song. Great song thanks 😇😉
Just found her and I'm officially obsessed I feel like people think black people cant do music like this !
Yes, time for stereotypes to be ripped apart. That's what I love about the younger generations. They don't give a F*** about these stupid stereotypes. Talent comes in all forms. Black people, brown people, red people, blue people DON'T all think, feel, and produce the same!! Abra is a queen!
cannot watch this with my mouth closed... cannot stop bumpin Abra all the time
I'm addicted to her😫
Man y'all sleeping on her 🙄🙄✨❤️
Right!
Jaida we woke
She's fuckin' FIYA!
7 years later they still are it’s sick
I haven't obsessed over a musical artist like I have with Abra in 8 or 9 years... it's almost all I listen to. Absolutely adore her.
Everything dies and everything changes, poetic in every sense of the word.
Todos hablando de la colaboración con Rosalía y yo pienso el ft con ABRA será un temon!
jajajaja si cuando vi ABRA fue con lo que realmente me emocioné, los tqm a los que les pasó lo mismo
No
She didn't have to do all that, but I'm happy she did.
I can't stop watching this video...
neither can i!
So underrated.....and it truly PISSES ME OFF❗❗❗❗
I hope she makes it fr.
I would kill for a collab with either Grimes, FKA twigs, or sevdaliza! All legends
OMG !!!
I just listened to some of Grimes songs......I have never seen someone so wrong. Like No.
no one asked for your opinion and no one cares if u dont like grimes u can fuck off
True
Yooooo!!!
I feel like ive dicovered something/someone magical... mannn.. ABRA.. so DOPE is every form.. Embedded in my head all day. LOVE your MUSIC
I'm young & i'll waste you away
Abra is a baddie...Okaii Jawn 😍💕
This sounds like a classic already. She got hella imagination.

It cannot be a coincidence that she reminds so many people of Aliyah, that is about the best compliment she could ever hope for, Aliyahs music was amazing and it bridged cultural divides.
Anyone else getting an 80's pop vibe from the music?
Abra is bae
Like Fr 💯💯
I don’t remember replaying an R&B song repeatedly. This is my go to song
I understand the comments about her sexual graphics in a child's room and with bike and etc, but what I think she is symbolizing is that she was still young and innocent when she was taken advantage of.
i honestly don't think she's symbolising anything, she just liked the aesthetic. don't read into this video too much i'm pretty sure it's meaningless.
exactly what I was thinking
She said in an interview that the whole album ROSES is about "loss of innocence"
+GordoNLuv it's a combination of symbolism and aesthetics. She's an artist. Like how singers/writers should be.
thanks, you made the video better for me
The Hypnotic 😂 All of this makes me think of my teen years. Young & wild lolol
My freak meter is going off the charts.. beep beep beeeeep

I think I put this video in every playlist I have 🤣 I love this song 🖤💕👸🏾
2020 we still support
These songs are clean asf. Keep it up guys.
GO GIRLLL, is it just me or she needs to be listened to by like the whole world?
poetic lyric flow + base kick + alternating tempo = world music
I'm. In. Love. Channeling 90's freestyle in the freshest way. Damn. This is a gem.
I was totally obsessed with this sound for a few years…and my girlfriend at the time was totally jealous…and it totally led to our breakup…but this music is still jamming…
@yvonne Villalba very VERY true. It also might of been because they actually looked kinda similar…lol, but that was just a coincidence lol
I can't stop watching and listening to this, great aesthetics
She brought sexy, innovation and revived an old generation in one video.
Wanna go have dinner some time? Like seriously, whatever you want.
th-cam.com/video/sUJxRlnaku4/w-d-xo.html .
I heart ABRA. Prolly teleport out when u try 2 catch her

ABRA This is one of my fav's of yours. Its got a great young and old school feel
this is like modern freestyle late 80's - early 90's type of flow n beat ... dope , i fuck with it
Lyrics are fireeee 🔥💥
It is like dark 80s synthpop met modern day Atlanta RnB...and it sounds fucking amazing
this was my shit when I was 16 and trippin off tons of acid
We was really high as fuck 😂😂
