And July - Music

Frogtoon Music - Song Info: And July

Keeping The Momentum Of Their Collaborative Success Going Heize And Dean Have Teamed Up Once Again — With The Aid Of DJ Fritz — To Present The Lead Single Of Heize’s Debut Album “And July.” Heize And Dean Have A Special Kind Of Musical Chemistry That’s Advantageous For Both Of Them. This Is Mainly Because Of The Way They Balance With One Another And Can Play Off Of Each Other Effortlessly. There’s A Natural — Almost Playful — Synergy Between Them And That Is No More Clear Than In “And July.” Together They Manage To Convey A Complex Relationship That Toes The Line Between Affection And Loathing. What’s Fascinating About The MV Is That The Lyrics Say One Thing While The Visuals Seemingly Convey Something Entirely Different. Or Do They? There’s A Rich Layer Of Complexity Between The Emotions Of The Track And The Actions Of Heize And Dean On Screen That Creates More Questions Than Answers Are They Trying To Confess Their Affections Or Their Ambivalence? Are They Lovers Or Enemies? Do Those Two Things Have To Be Mutually Exclusive? “And July” Plays Much Like A Throw-Back Hip Hop Confessional Of An Adult Playground Rivalry Dean Pulls Heize’s Metaphoric Pig Tails And She Figuratively Kicks Him In The Shin In Retaliation. She Doesn’t Want Him To See Her React Not When He Pours Sugar Into Her Coffee Or When He Passes Her Chewed Up Gum Instead Of The Ring She Anticipated. Heize Continues To Play Into Their Childish Game Because It’s Easier Than Acknowledging That Perhaps She Actually Cares About Him — That He’s Somehow Wormed His Way Into Her Heart.
