This song has the same vibe as Gwen Sefani and Pharell’s song “ Spark the Fire. Her talking even has a significant amount of auto tune. In “Me and My Girls,” Gomez talks about how much fun she and her friends have and that she doesn’t need a man in her life. Talking instead of singing is also a prominent theme in this album. The drums are more significant than Gomez’s voice, even though she’s talking, not singing, through most of the chorus. The lyrics in “Kill Em With Kindness” are incredibly slow, and the music is a mix between EDM and some weird Indie vibe. The music and lyrics do not match for a lot of the songs. The auto tune is not the biggest problem, however. “There are moments when you hear the auto tune come in, her voice strains to hit some notes or even an outside vocalist to take care of the hook (Charli XCX, Chloe Angelides), which gives me qualms about embracing her fully,” Ryan Middleton, writer for, wrote. With her new tour on the horizon, it makes you wonder how all of these song will sound live. Gomez relies on auto tune and the distracting drums in the background of every song more than she relies on her voice. “Good For You” was not the only song on the album that overly relied on auto tune, in fact, most, if not all the songs are auto tuned. A$AP Rocky’s rap verse was easier to understand than Gomez. Her mumbling made it even worse, especially since it takes so much effort to comprehend the lyrics. There was so much auto tune that Gomez’s voice was almost indistinguishable.
The first single from the album, “ Good For You ,” may have reached number one, but it was not anything special. Yes, there are multiple good and catchy songs, like “Sober” and“Rise,” which have a catchy melody and entertaining lyrics, but most of them do not warrant much praise. But through all the excitement, they seem to be missing the obvious: it is not as good as they make it out to be. Selena Gomez is back! After waiting for two years, Gomez fans, dubbed Selenators, were ecstatic when she announced Revival, propelled to number one on the iTunes charts.
