Music Review #3

The song I will be reviewing today is “City of Angels” by 24k Goldn. I came across this song fairly recently but even on the first listen I knew this was one of my new favorites. Anyway the song starts off with “I sold my soul to the devil for designer”, so with this line I feel like he’s trying to communicate the basic sold my soul for fame idea that comes up a lot in pop culture. So he is basically saying that he sold his soul for designer clothes/ fame/ riches. On the other hand he also mentions that he doesn’t want to die young and some people tied this to the recent deaths of a few hip hop artists recently and that he just doesn’t want to die young.
