“Be Mine“ by Styngray

“Be Mine” is a riveting love song that blends elements of rap, soul, and hip-hop to create a fresh sonic landscape with roots in the classic sounds of these genres. Styngray, an R&B artist with ties in Chicago and Atlanta, brings love back to modern music with this track. He was inspired when reflecting on the state of current musical trends, and how sometimes vulnerability and love are sacrificed in the search for a shocking lyric or catchy rhythm. Styngray prioritizes romance with “Be Mine,” encouraging the listener to prioritize romance in their own lives.

Lyrics like “my only wish is to be with you” and “let’s make it last forever” show the straightforward nature of Styngray’s love. He knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to speak his mind. This is a refreshing take in the midst of current dating culture, where it seems like too often you have to guess at people’s feelings and hope they won’t run from commitment- which he comments on with the line “you never played games, never made me chase.” Finding someone who is real, and not afraid to let their emotions show, is a rare and beautiful thing.

Steady rhythms, uplifting guitar stabs, and soulful ad libs craft the atmosphere of this song, as rapped verses are contrasted with more melodic vocal samples in the chorus for a satisfying sonic journey. Styngray repeats the title throughout the song, providing ear candy while also driving home just how committed he is to making this relationship happen.
