The Real w/ Raven

     The song I chose this week is Deed I Do by Ruth Etting. I enjoyed this song a lot because of its upbeat melody and the lyrics are quite beautiful if you really listen to it. The song is a way of reassurance to the person Ruth loves. The lyrics repeated the questions "do I want you", "do I need you", and "do I love you". Each time Etting replying "Oh my, I do". She implies that she meets a lot of people everyday, yet they're the one she wants to spend her time with. It's sweet how she reassures her lover that it is them that she wants, no one else. The song feels as if one were dancing around daydreaming of their crush and just being completely in la la land about them. The music in the back compliments Ruth's voice as she has a very high pitched voice that blends perfectly with tune. This song is simple and sweet. The target audience would be those who wanted to dance at that time, which I believe would be the perfect song to sw...

The song I chose to evaluate is Ain’t Misbehavin’ by Louis Armstrong. I have always loved listening to Armstrong since I was a little girl. He was a huge part of my childhood from Dream A Little Dream Of Me to La Vie En Rose , he’s always been a favorite artist of mine, so of course I wanted to evaluate this song of his.

The instruments in the background go so well with the song with this flowy melody that plays along with it. It gives off the energy as if you were dancing in the kitchen at two in the morning with the love of your life. The target audience is truly anyone that's been in love or falli...

Heyy my name is Raven Mactagone. I think it's safe to say that I don't have a single favorite music genre or artist. I love rap, indie, folk, pop, even country sometimes. I'm probably the most laid back person when it comes to music. If I had to pick a favorite artist, I'd probably have to say Frank Ocean granted I do have his Blonde album cover tatted on my body forever. I love getting put on to new music so always feel free to share whatever music you guys want with me, I'll always appreciate it!
