Diamonds (and pearls) are a girl’s best friend and our girl Summer Walker wants more. Summer Walker is a woman who knows what she wants and her new single ‘Spend It’ tells us exactly that. In addition to the original single, Summer has blessed us with two additional versions- “Spend It (Diamonds & Pearls version) and “Spend it (Rent is Due Version)”.
Summer Walker, the Atlanta based, Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter teases her upcoming album “Finally Over It” with the release of her new single and music video for “Spend It”. A sultry and unapologetic ode to a new glamorous and hyper-feminine Summer Walker and clarity for her desire for luxury, not love. The single presents a new narrative on romance and the overrated notion of attachment, emotion and support; the narrative that materialism is a much better trade than romance. “Give me the last 4 of your credit card, buy back my love, you can keep your heart”, Summer demands. And what Summer demands, you give. How could you not with her sultry tones? She puts up a wall around her heart and envelops it with diamonds and pearls, as she knows she deserves. She knows that she’d rather be draped in diamonds and pearls than to be a fool in love, a heartbroken woman.
Following her successes with her previous two albums in this trilogy, “Over It” (2019) and “Still Over It” (2021), “Finally Over It” and the title track “Spend It”, is the end of an era. An era that ends with Summer realizing her worth and getting over any heartbreak and swearing off the notion of romance.
The music video for “Spend It” is actually what you’d expect, luxurious and cinematic. Alongside Summer, is an all-star cast of Gail Bean, Miracle Watts, Brandee Evans, Angela White, and actor Eric Roberts. A fine-dining and high-stakes game of cards fronting our ringleader Summer Walker plotting to pull off a high-stakes heist, with flashes to her draped in pearls, legs flung seductively over the side of a bathtub. It’s the perfect partner to the sultry, sensual and seductive tones and trademark sound of Summer Walker.
“Spend It” is enough to make you feel sensual within yourself and to unlock your inner baddie who knows their own worth, whether you’re a materialist or a true romantic, Summer says “diamonds and pearls”. If you are needing help realising your worth or want to unlock your own potential, this song is your starter package.
