Detroit-based R&amp;B/soul outfit bevlove&#8217;s first release, however, brims with confidence, charm, and creativity. happily ever after. is split evenly between rousing crowdpleasers and seductive slow-jams, and bevlove inspires both enthusiasm and introspection in equal turns. The first thing it has going for it is a playful, dynamic instrumental ensemble: &#8220;fired up,&#8221; for example, lives on handclaps fresh off the playground and blasts of tuba; even when the track has the balls to sample audience cheers, the bravado feels entirely earned. bevlove&#8217;s second weapon is a powerhouse vocal, with which she radiates charisma and demonstrates a relatable vulnerability. Even better, she understands that the two states aren&#8217;t mutually exclusive, best exemplified on the captivating &#8220;no better than this&#8221; with an attitude somewhere between Janelle Monae and Beyonce. The plaintive piano-led ballad &#8220;where do you sleep?&#8221; lives on the strength of her haunted performance: &#8220;I won&#8217;t go on living without you,&#8221; she cries, yet the tone is not one of despair but one of empowerment. So there&#8217;s a lot to like here: unfortunately, while happily ever after. is very well-made, it&#8217;s not terribly cohesive, serving more as a grab-bag of bevlove than a polished representation of what she really stands for. The brassy, hip-hop &#8220;amnesia,&#8221; for example, is strong on its own merits but downright baffling sandwiched between &#8220;where do you sleep?&#8221; and the hushed, downtempo &#8220;boundless.&#8221; All in all, though, debut acts rarely come as full-formed as this, and bevlove is certainly one to treasure if the quality of happily ever after. is any indication.</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQn-nsFV2aOnGZrz3QoWEZhFxrOIdhqO4-CvzCCH1yBIESU83hhcQC6MqI57vbflKu_R6FiONLV0dZDeXKfSEX8CqC8LbtD3XZv-jqmUdZRbYreivfe7QlT1IziLyO9J1VUQqTEpEBRA/s320/5.gif" imageanchor="1" style=""><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQn-nsFV2aOnGZrz3QoWEZhFxrOIdhqO4-CvzCCH1yBIESU83hhcQC6MqI57vbflKu_R6FiONLV0dZDeXKfSEX8CqC8LbtD3XZv-jqmUdZRbYreivfe7QlT1IziLyO9J1VUQqTEpEBRA/s320/5.gif" /></a></div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/15097105451569365167' itemprop='url'/> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/15097105451569365167' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Moses Kim</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://wasfuersohr.blogspot.com/2013/02/bevlove-2012-happily-ever-after.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://wasfuersohr.blogspot.com/2013/02/bevlove-2012-happily-ever-after.html?m=1' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2013-02-18T15:25:00+01:00'>3:25&#8239;PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> </div> </div> </div> <div class='comments' id='comments'> <a name='comments'></a> <h4>1 comment:</h4> <div class='comments-content'> <script async='async' src='' type='text/javascript'></script> <script type='text/javascript'> (function() { var items = null; var msgs = null; var config = {}; // <![CDATA[ var cursor = null; if (items && items.length > 0) { cursor = parseInt(items[items.length - 1].timestamp) + 1; } var bodyFromEntry = function(entry) { var text = (entry && ((entry.content && entry.content.$t) || (entry.summary && entry.summary.$t))) || ''; if (entry && entry.gd$extendedProperty) { for (var k in entry.gd$extendedProperty) { if (entry.gd$extendedProperty[k].name == 'blogger.contentRemoved') { return '<span class="deleted-comment">' + text + '</span>'; } } } return text; } var parse = function(data) { cursor = null; var comments = []; if (data && data.feed && data.feed.entry) { for (var i = 0, entry; entry = data.feed.entry[i]; i++) { var comment = {}; // comment ID, parsed out of the original id format var id = /blog-(\d+).post-(\d+)/.exec(entry.id.$t); comment.id = id ? id[2] : null; comment.body = bodyFromEntry(entry); comment.timestamp = Date.parse(entry.published.$t) + ''; if (entry.author && entry.author.constructor === Array) { var auth = entry.author[0]; if (auth) { comment.author = { name: (auth.name ? auth.name.$t : undefined), profileUrl: (auth.uri ? auth.uri.$t : undefined), avatarUrl: (auth.gd$image ? auth.gd$image.src : undefined) }; } } if (entry.link) { if (entry.link[2]) { comment.link = comment.permalink = entry.link[2].href; } if (entry.link[3]) { var pid = /.*comments\/default\/(\d+)\?.*/.exec(entry.link[3].href); if (pid && pid[1]) { comment.parentId = pid[1]; } } } comment.deleteclass = 'item-control blog-admin'; if (entry.gd$extendedProperty) { for (var k in entry.gd$extendedProperty) { if (entry.gd$extendedProperty[k].name == 'blogger.itemClass') { comment.deleteclass += ' ' + entry.gd$extendedProperty[k].value; } else if (entry.gd$extendedProperty[k].name == 'blogger.displayTime') { comment.displayTime = entry.gd$extendedProperty[k].value; } } } comments.push(comment); } } return comments; }; var paginator = function(callback) { if (hasMore()) { var url = config.feed + '?alt=json&v=2&orderby=published&reverse=false&max-results=50'; if (cursor) { url += '&published-min=' + new Date(cursor).toISOString(); } window.bloggercomments = function(data) { var parsed = parse(data); cursor = parsed.length < 50 ? null : parseInt(parsed[parsed.length - 1].timestamp) + 1 callback(parsed); window.bloggercomments = null; } url += '&callback=bloggercomments'; var script = document.createElement('script'); script.type = 'text/javascript'; script.src = url; document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script); } }; var hasMore = function() { return !!cursor; }; var getMeta = function(key, comment) { if ('iswriter' == key) { var matches = !!comment.author && comment.author.name == config.authorName && comment.author.profileUrl == config.authorUrl; return matches ?
