Gomez slows down the tempo with the song “Camouflage,” using solely her voice accompanied by piano. The tenth single on the album, “Body Heat,” changes courses and has a Spanish vibe, beginning with acoustic guitar and emerging with a saxophone in the chorus, creating a danceable rhythm. The song “Hands to Myself” attracted me because it’s different from all the other tracks on the album and it almost has a tribal music feel. “Kill em with Kindness” includes this fascinating whistle sound that lured me in. The background music to these impactful lyrics was captivating as well. In “Body Heat” she exclaims, “If you’re the flame, I’m kerosene” this metaphor is evocative and it made me really envision the comparison. Gomez uses a play on words in “Same Old Love,” describing, “You left in peace, left me in pieces.” She creatively demonstrates the contrast between her lover’s feelings and her feelings after a relationship by using homophones with two opposite meanings.
The eloquence of the language and literary devices within the lyrics really caught my attention. The music combines two great elements: it contains strong emotion while simultaneously making me want to dance. It sounds like she is talking the songs, whispering them into my ear, making the words soothing and personal. I’m usually not a big fan of EDM, but Gomez includes meaningful lyrics into the upbeat, synthesized sounds, making each tune intriguing. The songs are a mixture of pop and electronic dance music and incorporate the common theme of empowerment. These lines are meditational and spiritual, setting the mood for the rest of the album. “I dive into the future / But I’m blinded by the sun / I’m reborn in every moment / So who knows what I’ll become.” The record had me mesmerized from start to finish, commencing with the self-titled song, “Revival.” The single enticed me by opening up with Gomez reciting poetry, She told Extra, “I was getting a lot of hate for my body and ‘you’re gaining weight,’ and so I was in Mexico and I was just feeling all of this stuff and I would be lying to you if I said it didn’t’t kind of hurt my feelings, but I kind of channeled that into my music.” While listening to her new music, I was immersed in this emotion that Gomez poured into the album. The nasty remarks only motivated the pop star. “I think it took me a long while to get there because the past year was so interesting because I’ve never been body-shamed before.”
She is stripped down to her underwear, displaying that she embraces and takes pride in her body, despite hateful comments she has received on Instagram.“I feel very empowered and confident in where I am,” she explained On the Air with Ryan Seacrest. Her wavy, black hair rests on her shoulders and she has a serious expression on her face. The cover of the album is simple: it’s black-and-white and Gomez appears serene and natural. The former Disney Channel star displays her maturity and growth as an artist in her latest record. Gomez will return to Canada later this summer when she headlines Québec City’s Le Festival d’été de Québec July 7, and AtlanticFest 2016, happening September 3 in Paradise, NL, and September 4 in Moncton, NB.Selena Gomez emphasizes confidence and individuality in her new album Revival, which was released on Oct.
