Reading the recent posts on Meghan Trainor made me think about how feminized music has become, especially in the US. It's impossible to listen to the radio anymore without hearing some grrrrl-power anthem about stepping over boys to get what you want, "having it all", and casual hookups...
But why dwell on those songs, when there are much better songs to listen to, that have a positive view of relationships without the entitled princess attitude? Let's share our favorite RP-friendly songs! My pick is "Cater 2 U" by Destiny's Child. Despite her proclaimed feminism, Beyonce has several songs in her repertoire that praise and uplift her man. In this song, she does the opposite of "Dear Future Husband": the lyrics show that she expresses his admiration for him, cooks for him, keeps him happy, lets him do his favorite activities, and keeps herself looking good for him. All without demanding anything in return! That's the kind of lady I aspire to be.
What are your favorites, and why? Let's discuss!
