You're Gonna Want Me Back
April joins me to talk about Kali Uchis' latest single, "I Wish you Roses", from her highly anticipated album, Red Moon in Venus, dropping March 3rd, 2023. It's all about releasing people with love and grace, and trusting that you'll be better off, and they'll get what's coming to them. She emphasizes that she expects to be treated like a queen, and if that isn't happening then she'll be gone, and it's their loss. A true bop about self love and not jeopardizing your peace or letting them see you sweat.Then we deep dive some of the...

Is There More to Love?
Today I start by explaining the brat kink that I promised I'd get into last episode, and the kink of telling your sub what to wear. While searching for what that kink is called or if it's even a thing at all, I learned about candaulism, and dollification, which are super interesting so brace yourself for a little history and BDSM sidebar.Elle Eliades's latest single, "More to Love" is a beautiful, soulful tune about feeling bored and distant in a relationship, and wondering if there's more to look forward to or if that's all there is...

Ain't Your Girl No More
Today I'm getting into UK R&B singer, Jaz Karis's, 7 song EP, "DEAR JAZ" (2022). It's an honest and vulnerable expression of the difficulty of breakups, the back and forths, and becoming whole again. She realizes she's dealing with a narcissist who is breaking her down and making her feel as if she's an option, so she makes the difficult decision to move on and heal, which is a story that many women can relate to. It's a cathartic, moody listen, perfect for a night drive, or for crying your heart out to if you're also going through a break...

You Know I Love You Girl
Happy new year angels! Tonight I get into an upcoming rnb artist, Avenoir's recent single, "Shameless". His music and vibes are very reminiscent of Brent Faiyaz so you can expect just the perfect dash of toxic lyrics (aka avoidant attachment dynamic). The song is about a back and forth between him and a girl who he "loves" but can't be serious with because of his trust issues and basically telling her that it's a dead end with him so to not pursue him. We've all been there, so we know sometimes these situations can turn into something real, even...

Y'all Lack Humanity, Drowning in Vanity
SZA finally dropped an album after five long years and I'm getting into some of my favorite tracks from this amazing project, S.O.S. The pick me's made it a point to go out of their way to proclaim how they can not relate and are above the themes that S.Z.A. poured her heart and soul into, so I'm going out of my way to explain why their takes are so surface level, annoying, and unnecessary. A specific femininity coach engaged with a really weird misogynistic tweet so I talk about that and segue into how...

If Love Is True
Yung Student Loans joins me to do a deep dive into his latest release, "KING OF THE LOWKEY: AN EMO SPACE ODYSSEY (STORY MODE)". This album tells the story of Yung Student Loans finding out a girl he's been messing with has been proposed to, and the way his feelings change from the beginning to the end. He starts as a side piece who's down for a good time but slowly begins to question if maybe there's more to it. We go on a fun tangent about Kendrick Lamar's song "We Cry Together (ft. Taylour Paige)", and the normalization...

Lost Without You
Almondmilkhunni joins me today to talk about her new song "MISS U". It's about missing her man when he leaves to go on tour, and trying to hold it together and to not act out because of it. It's similar to being in a long distance relationship so we talk about the ups and downs and how to get through it. We talk about her journey as an artist for a bit and her process of making music and staying true to herself and what she loves. Then we dive into Teal Swan and the phenomenon of the social...

Could've Been a Lover
Tonight I'm getting into JAKHKOY's latest single, "Bitter", which is all about grieving something that could've been. We've all had talking stages that failed, or even just grieved a potential future with someone that keeps giving you hope but stays bailing. It sucks, and we might feel bitter, but all you can do is accept it and move on. Then I get into some really good Tik Tok material that all focuses on Men's Mental Health Awareness Month. A lot of men don't want to hear it but toxic masculinity goes hand in hand with having poor mental health...

Can't Make Him Better
My guest, Karagan, joins me today to get into some of Lana Del Rey's songs including, "Young and Beautiful", "Shades of Cool", and an unreleased song, "Put Me in a Movie". They all dance around the themes of society's obsession with women's youth and beauty and its perceived time limit, the power that men hold over women and their desire for that youth, and just age gaps in relationships in general. Men seem to be freaking out that women are ok with being single more and more, so we dissect how that pushes them to go after younger women...

Psycho Lover Vol. 3
It's the Halloween special edition episode! Join me and my reoccurring guest, April (my sister), to talk about the songs, "Pain" & "Just For Me", from PinkPantheress's 2021 mixtape, "To Hell Wit It". Both songs lean into the themes of unhealthy romantic obsessions and breakups. We talk about creepy behaviors we may or may not have participated in before like driving by someone's house to catch them cheating, obsessing over an ex, doing weird things to manipulate someone into a relationship, and lots more. Then I read three listener submitted stories about your experiences with psycho lovers and dealing with stalkers...

Be Honest with Myself
Today I'm getting into the lyrics behind Baby Tate's latest mixtape, Mani/Pedi. It focuses on being honest about the relationships we have with others, and ourselves. I picked 8 songs: “Ain’t No Love” (ft. 2 Chainz), Do Better, Karma, Sl*t Him Out Again (ft. Kali), Mani, 4Lifers, What’s Love, & Honest. There are so many great themes from being smart about who you cry over, being scared to fall for someone, reevaluating what love means to you, being honest with yourself about your own toxic habits, and lots more. I also had time for the Pick Me Patrol segment...

It's about him loving his single life and being too scared of love, or trusting anyone. In the music video, he gets kidnapped and dropped off at his wedding where his real life girlfriend comes down from the sky looking like an angel and they get married, so we dive into what this all could mean and what it must be l...

It's all about someone switching up on you when you least expected it, so in turn you have to learn to be on your own and work on your self, because at the end of the day, time heals, but you gotta do the work if you wanna come out better than before.

I'm also catching up on a few topics from previous episodes that slipped my mind. I'm talking about girls that try to be the cool girlfriend by breaking their neck to check out girls asses with their men. There are layers to how dumb and embarrassing it is.

That’s Why I Love Her
Today I'm getting into Ne-Yo's 2008 song, "Miss Independent", with a guest - ceci bendita. The song is all about Ne-Yo seeing a woman being a boss, getting it all by herself, and him being obsessed and so happy that it seems like he doesn't need to offer or do anything for her. It's funny hearing this song and thinking about the meaning now that we’re older. We talk about the relevance the song had back in 2008 when women were first starting to celebrate being on their own, making their own money, and divorcing ain't sh** dudes. Before that, wo...

I talk about how some jealous insecure people will try to date your ex when you're done with them and how a lot of times it's because they wanna be you, but you can't pay them no mind. Of course I had to get into abortion rights and contraception, being that the title is "Plan B", and that women's rights are being threatened. I strongly encourage women to be smart about who they...

The Problem With You
This episode I'm getting into Sabrina Claudio's song, "Problem With You", from her 2019 album Truth is. It's all about the struggles of an over thinker with an anxious attachment dealing with a partner that doesn't take any accountability about the way their behavior is damaging the relationship and the way they feel. Part of the problem of course can be the nitpicking and constant over-analyzing, but dealing with someone that leaves you hanging and puts you in a position to constantly fill in the blanks, is only gonna make the situation worse.

It leads into a conversation about how when we apply to much pressure with someone that doesn't like you, you look like a creep, and some people need to learn to read social cues better. I also talk about the difference between being controlling and setting boundaries. Then I talk about dealing with anxiety in a relationship whether it be you or your partner, and the effects of being in fight...

I'm getting into Lucky Daye's song, "Over", from his recent album Candydrip. It's about that toxic relationship that you keep going back to and feels impossible to let go of. He compares it to being trapped in a bad dream that you can't escape. Sometimes we fear letting go of someone because we think they might change for the next person and if we would've just been patient and given them one more chance, then it could've been us. Then i get into some Twitter discourse about a woman saying she stopped seeing a guy because he didn't compliment h...

Shoulda Stayed Celibate
I'm getting into "Post Nut Clarity" by Alemeda this week so you know I have lots of fun topics. Alemeda's music is super fun, and in this song she speaks on some really relatable feelings that most woman have probably been through. It's all about hooking up with someone when your mind wasn't right, and immediately regretting it and feeling like it wasn't worth it at all. Sex should be a mutually enjoyable thing and you should only be with someone that you're comfortable enough with to speak up about your needs. Hookup culture has kinda proven itself to...

It's about a relationship gone sour because of too many issues and games being played. We talk about "dating" versus "hanging out", and why you need to always communicate what a situation is. Then we get into the phenomenon of post-nut clarity and post-nut euphoria in terms of a bumpy relationship, and whether continuing to have sex in those situations is even a good idea or if you should remain celibate.

She used to go by Priscilla Renea when she was doin more songwriting and in the pop lane, but recently did a rebrand and went full R&B when she put out her EP "Public Displays of Attention". The most popular song from it is probably "Hrs and Hrs", but today I wanted to be real about toxic relationships and the way a fight can really make a couple hate each other and forget...

Lou Val's song "Eternal Sunshine" from his EP, Tayo And The Dreamer, is such a dreamy love song with a psychedelic indie pop feel and just the right amount of R&B.

The album is one of my favorites so far this year and although it's bop after bop, I picked this song to get into because it perfectly sheds light on how toxic the idea of unconditional love is.

This episode is all about cheating and staying together. It happens more often than we think, yet it's still frowned upon and shamed, but we don't judge over here, so we're talking about how to make that work, why it happens, and when you should or shouldn't give it a shot. Not all cheaters are created equal so this is not to normalize it at all, but more to give some insight into what it takes and how much work is required to make it to the other side in a healthy way. My guests Ailec & Ayvione are a...

We've all been on both sides of that situation as friends so we talk about how we handle situations like that and how people shouldn't go about it. We also touch on the importance of having solid friends, how we handle falling outs w friends, having friends of the opposite sex w...

He talks about his experience being love bombed and dealing with some crazy a** women, and how we sometimes miss huge red flags. We talk about how the older we get the less shit we're willing to put up with and how dedication to your career can sometimes mean putting your love life on hold.

I'm simpin alone tonight y'all, and of course I picked the saddest song ever, "Stuck On You", by Giveon. It's the last song on his EP, When It's All Said And Done, and it's all about that relationship you just can't bare to leave. It's that one relationship that is stuck in purgatory and you're too embarrassed to even tell your friends that you're still seeing that person. I think we've all been there at some point in our lives and hopefully you escaped that cycle cause it is like an addiction. I make sure to distinguish between a r...

It's the last song on the album and it's the perfect culmination of her learning to love herself, radiating her sensual side, and continuing to accept love from another person fully without letting it define her or break her. In POV she's grateful for the love she's receiving from someone and she just wishes she could see herself through his point of view so that she can love and trust herself the same way.

We dissect a lyric in which he insinuates in a double entendre that this fling doesn't compare to his girl back home, so we dive into the topic of temptation.

This episode we're finally talking about one of our favorite R&B girls, Summer Walker. She had too many bops to choose from on her album Over It, and we couldn't decide, so we picked "Riot" off her 2019 EP, Clear. It's all about expressing to someone that you need passion in your relationship, and that some boring, too-easy love, isn't gonna cut it. It's so relatable because we've been conditioned to think love has to be this fiery passionate thing, but sometimes that can become unrealistic in a long term situation, and borderline toxic.

We also talk about second chances and why they do or don't work, or how many chances you're willing to give someone before you cut them off.

Women in rap catch a lot of heat for being sexually explicit and liberated.

We also talk about love languages and expressing our needs and knowing when to walk away.

We also introduce a fun new Twitter segment, so stick around till the end!Follow Me on IG/Twitter/Tik Tok @simpinafterdarkFollow Ashley @ash_friday_ on IGGo like "Simpin After Dark" Spotify Playlist by ashleyym91Youtube - Click here to watch full epis...

Simpin After Dark
Sprung up in the Spring Time
We start off SAD with Jhené Aiko's song, "P*$$Y Fairy (OTW)", from her new album, Chilombo. We dive right into sexual compatibility, unhealthy dating behaviors, cuffing season, unrealistic relationship standards, and of course forgiveness and healing.
