Antoine de Saint-Exupery once told us that “Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction”. And thus we find ourselves straddled across the centuries of events without ever departing from the o…ne crux of consciousness that at once defies and unites the young and old.
What if love was a polyphonic voice emerging from a 3 inch piece of plastic and electronics? Once again Soulja is not only thinking outside the box, but creating new types of shapes in which to trap our intrigue.
“Kiss Me Through The Phone” explores the myriad conflicting impulses of long distance relationships. Underlying the central theme is the facet of guilt evident in the protagonist’s delivery – i.e. the knowledge that he is betraying his duty as a playa to his ho. Soulja places particular emphasis on the figure of the home in this work, something which can be viewed as a nod to the work of Morrissey.
Underscoring each stanza is the lingering possibility that engaging in this process can overcome the crippling locational exigencies of the relationship.
They say absence make the heart grow fonder; can technology lengthen the pulse of its beating love? Once again Soulja is purposefully inconclusive. Perhaps one can emerge from this bouncing track reconsidering the merits of ambiguity. That is to say, we are once again forced to admit that in a world that is so singularly rooted to the pursuit of definition within some vague limitation of ‘reason’, Soulja is presenting multiple conclusions as a means to subvert hegemonic twisted logic.
TURN MY SWAG ON!!!
