Mak Avina - Pick Up Tha Phone Featuring Junii (Official Audio)
What’s good everyone? We back with the Thursday morning vibes. It’s summer and the nights are getting shorter but that doesn’t stop us from staying up all through it. For a variety of reasons, we lose our sleep. Whether it be for work, fun times, or stress. Despite the reason, everyone finds that reason to procrastinate on some rest. It’s summer, we need all the time we can get. Today’s song comes from Mak Avina who speaks on the latter of our reasons for losing sleep. For this record, he taps in with Junii who compliments Mak’s side of the story on the hook.
“You gotta know when to trust me, all this talking that we doing ain’t for nothing.”
When you find yourself beating yourself up for choices that didn’t work out or mistakes you made; it’s easy to shut those out. You may feel they don’t deserve to have someone like you deal with them. Some people may oblige and lead you to believe that you have no one to run to. That’s not always the case, Kendrick said it best “we love people who hurt us, hurt people who love us.” When we make up something in our minds, it can be hard to change it. Significant others, or just people who are starting to open up to you, are the ones who get the worst side of us. When you have someone accepting of you, they are willing to take it all. The good side and the bad side. Imagine, someone out there is willing to be your emotional dumping ground without judgment. That’s a rare, beautiful thing to come by.
So much so, that it’s intimidating when we do come across it. Both parties have their needs and learning them can be a battle. All the things we go through and how we internalize them affects our relationships. Where our heads are at kind of leads your heart if left unchecked. Sometimes just not speaking on the feelings and enjoying each other’s company is the easy. When it comes to meeting in the middle, tensions flared and egos come to a head. Some people don’t clash but that’s not the case.
Mak tells an excellent story about his internal struggles and how his loved ones have been affected by it. If you find yourself up at night because of another person, then maybe you can resonate with this record. He gets vulnerable and honest about the things he feels he should himself accountable for. Guarantee there is something in here, from Mak or Junii’s perspectives, that you can relate to. Not to mention this song is smooth and addictive. If you aren’t battling in the war of love, you can still enjoy this record. The smooth R&B vibes are modern, yet hypnotizing. Reminds me of something from the new wave of R&B a few years back. With their own twist of course.
