What parents need to know
Parents need to know that "Best Love Song" is a positive tune that encourages listeners to show their romantic partner how much they care. The track includes no profanity or explicit references, just encouragement to kiss the person you care about. There's only one suggestive line: "And if I wanna take her home / It's gonna be better than what they do on the radio!" Overall it's an OK choice for older tween and teens.
What's the story?
"BEST LOVE SONG" is a collaboration between rapper T-Pain and R&B crooner Chris Brown. This clean track is all about showing the whole world how much you care for the person you love. For example, "Homie kiss your girl, shorty kiss your man
/ We can see you on the kissin' cam
/ Now look her in the eye, say baby I love you." The tune is entirely free of explicit language or graphic sexual references, with just a couple allusions to intimacy ("Girl just move your body like a snake
/ And if you wanna get with me, put your hands in the air, show me the energy") and frequent encouragement to kiss -- making it a fine choice for older tweens and teens.
Is it any good?
It's surprising that there's so much Auto-Tune in this track since Chris Brown and T-Pain are well known for their great pipes. Both give their typically solid performances here, and while the synth-beat isn't unique, the overall effect will still satisfy fans of both artists who just can't get enough of their music.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about love songs. What makes a good love song? What makes this particular one so sweet?
This song avoids graphic language and sexual references; how come more artists don't follow this model? Is edgy material always necessary in hip-hop and R&B?
