Summary Of The Song 'Scars To You Re Beautiful'

Decent Essays
The song Scars to You’re Beautiful is one of my favorite songs right now, but that doesn’t mean it is perfect. Alessia Cara has a breathy tone quality, a lot of her lyrics are airy and then later on, during the chorus, her voice becomes stronger or richer. Alessia Cara’s diction is not the best, she often leaves the ends of her words hanging off, not ending them. It is a common theme in a lot of her songs; however, her beginnings of her words are clear and easy to understand. Throughout the whole song Alessia Cara is on pitch, she does not hit notes too high and does not sound strained on the softer parts of the song but she does sound like she has to force her voice on the louder parts. Alessia sings more breathy or airy on some of the parts

However, not everyone gets the opportunity to have this experience; and thus, the best replacement would be to read Katherine Boo’s Behind the Beautiful Forevers. Throughout her book, Boo proves that the poor blame each other for every problem and that the rich also blame the poor for the faults in their governments and the markets. She proves this by examining the daily problems that the slum-dwellers face: poverty, diseases and corruption.…

    Raeen Roes Wilson or rather ‘Angel Haze’ is nothing short of a gift to listeners who crave raw sound. Almost every song, lyric, and hook recounts her troubled upbringing as well as how she is still able to lift her head up and move onward.
