Raven Lenae's "Love Me Not" Is So Good

Getting a new favorite song off the regular radio that plays in the supermarket is such a rare and wonderful event.

"Love Me Not" by Raven Lenae is one of those songs ("Calm Down" is another) destined to be a globe-busting hit by dint of its simple beauty. Lenae's voice is so various and lovely—she sings this gorgeous, plaintive melody that develops into a kind of complex but still elegant different thing later in the song. The video is so good, too. Moody night-time denim shorts and basement choreo. The Vice of it all! I love everything about her.
