The Melodic Blue: Baby Keem

No pun intended - this short movie is able to be something of an extended music video. Or rather I reckon that is how some might watch it. The acting is really good and there is a story. Back in the day (80s and 90s) the big stars did music videos that were short movies themselves. It's been a long time since we have seen something similar.

Of course this is more of a movie than a music video. Still you have to love the music to enjoy the rest of course. I did not know who Keem is, but you may have an advantage there. Whatever the case, this is short and sweet and works for what it is supposed to do too.

With help of one of all time greatest lyricist and one of the most important modern hip hop artist his cousin kendrick lamar he shows us beautiful story about addiction in musical setting that embarks on a high end visuals and amazing storytelling sail that gets completed with music mostly from keem himself. The movie tells the story in a great way showing us stunning visuals mixed with animated scenes where acting is great and we can feel what he really wanted to tell, it expands his album and shows us deeper meanings in some of his songs i love it and i think this movie should be considered one of the most important 21st century movies about addiction.

Baby Keem's The Melodic Blue is a prime example of style over substance. While the album boasts a sleek production and a trendy sound, it lacks the depth and maturity of a truly great project. The writing, particularly the lyrics, feels juvenile and underdeveloped, relying heavily on clichés and empty bravado.

Keem's attempts at introspection and vulnerability fall flat, often coming across as forced and insincere. The album's thematic inconsistencies further undermine its overall coherence. The production, while impressive, cannot compensate for the lackluster songwriting.

The Melodic Blue is a missed opportunity, a project that could have been much more than it ultimately is. It's a reminder that raw talent and hype are not enough to create a truly impactful piece of art.
