You analyzed, now elaborate of why you felt the reason to chime in. It is true "Here" is channeling a cool, hipster bascially ethnic vibe which comes from the black community. Go listen to some 90s Brandy or Monica. Def a 2010s version except it will not be sung by a female of African descent. If she is Italian then why not something closure to that culture, cause if brandy, monica, jazmine sullivan start singing in an Italian tone its met with racism and would never be accepted fully by Italians here or abroad.
I look at the face that a Amerie has a voice ten times better, kelly rowland has way more talent. Solange just came out with a crazy single. These women struggle because they dont get airplay on white pop and r&b stations, but this girl is able to cross over and make her money. This business will tell you the prementioned artist have no market, naw man they do, its just being killed of by subtle racism at the labels, stations and by promoters fukk em over. Ask ray charles or a marion anderson, stuff is still happening today.
