Purple umbrella season has begun with Tory release of his third studio album ” Love Me Now“, which gives us insight of how tory feels about a certain lady. The album fits into the cuffing season, but there are tracks that you can vibe with during any process of the relationship. This 15 track R’n’B, rap, and trap album is littered with features from Chris Brown, Meek Mill, A boogie, Nav, Lil Baby, Bryson Tiller, Gunna, PnB Rock, and Trey Songz. Tory starts by telling a story of wanting a girl who has zero interest in him until his come up, but Tory on a different kind of time now.
Tory changes from wanting the girl to just hitting it and flexing on her quickly after. With tracks like ” Duck my Ex” (ft Chris Brown), “DrLp Drlp Drip” (ft. Meek Mill), and ” You Thought Wrong”, getting over your ex is going to be easy, especially if you’re going out that night. The mood these songs will have you in will have the pre-game and club flexes looking elite on social media. Tory Lanez ability to highlight his underdog story will always be his best quality especially if he keeps his arrogance like he did on “MiAMi ( feat. Gunna), and “KJm” which are records for when you riding with the gang.
For people involved in the season of love, keeping that vibe during those car rides or imitate moments you know Lanez comes in clutch. Tracks ” Flexible” ( Ft. Chris Brown & Lil Baby), “S.w.I.n.G (ft. PnB Rock & Trey Songz) will have you and bae ready to flex but also ready to be grown especially with Trey Songz talking like he usually talk. Also ” Keep in Touch” (Ft. Bryson Tiller) which is a banger ( Like they honestly need to do a joint album) is good for those late night car rides to just vibe to. This track is good because you feel not only the vibe between both artist, but there is a balance between them which makes the song great, this song makes telling somebody you miss them a lot easier.
This album does have its highlights but also some lowlights. The few problems with this album start off with how the tracks were placed. Instead of keeping the vibe apparent between wanting to flex on your ex to loving them or missing them it’s like your bounce back and forth between the vibe which throws it off. Then you also throw in tracks like “FeRRis WhEEl” (ft. Trippie Red), and ” The Run oFF” these songs could have been singles or kept off the album especially the Trippie Red track because it doesn’t fit the flow. Nav made “Cut me oFF” more of his song than Tory, especially with his new flow on display. This is a song he could have put towards the end of the album so it fit the mood. Another problem I had was Tory’s voice sounding the same on every track which can get annoying and make the album sound repetitive. This album has its moment but you will get bored if you’re not a Tory fan, most people probably are just going to find the features and that’s it.
This is a good follow-up to his last album ” Memories Dont Die” for the fact that it’s a different vibe and more club banger’s on this one. Tory would have done a good service to the album if he released it during the summer, but I guess him and his R’n’B brother Bryson Tiller had different plans because you know” It’s always summer in Miami” honestly they need to get it together for the culture.
