Spanish Eyes 2,290 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Y'all need to quit calling this **** tropical house. For one, that's a problematic term; it's a whitewashing of numerous caribbean styles. For two, apart from that flute intro sound, the rest of the song is Pre-Fame "Nothing On (But the Radio)" esque R&B. Her vocals in the verses are the most R&B she's sounded ever; move over DWUW.

There are black people being killed by the police but you're upset because people are calling a genre that fuses house music with tropical sounds "tropical house?" yeah ok, screw white people Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I'm not expecting her to be added to any playlists - they boycotted her during her other singles, why would they stop now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost like both the large scale and the micro scale feed into each other into a huge mesh of anti-black racism. Don't come for me just because you won't make that obvious connection.

Not to mention that "tropical" is not an ethnic decriptor, it's a descriptor of climate. Tropical house is... House music that reminds people of summer time, heat and probably vacation. That being said, the song actually barely is tropical house. It's pure pop with some squeeky voice sample that fools people into thinking this is not just some Lady Gaga pure pop confection (when it actually is).

Okay sweetie. I'm just enjoying this new song, which features elements of tropical music and house music. I wonder what I should call it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
