“Love don’t cost a dime” Re-up: Magixx and Ayra Starr outline true love

Review: “Love don’t cost a dime” Re-up Magixx and Ayra Starr outline true love

“Love don’t cost a dime” is an R&B song that explores romanticism through love lyrics.

Magixx tries to show that Love- true love does not cost a dime.

This means he doesn’t talk about love alone on “Love don’t cost a dime“. He talks about true love. Which is why he says:

“You don’t need any gucci bag baby”.

The relatbility of this song is in question, but that’s what makes it a unique song. When you listen to love songs now, it’s about what the guy wants to buy for the girl. The question becomes “Is love about the benefits”?

It’s true you can’t rule out the benefits and what may seem like “enjoyment“. But on “Love don’t cost a dime“, Magixx and Ayra Starr claim this is not what should define love, and they are so right.

It is also a turning point  considering that they are both young and not decked with the insinuations that love and money, or material things must go hand in hand first.

What Magixx and Ayra Starr point out on “Love don’t cost a dime” is that true love is permanent while these other things are temporary. Yes, they may be needed, but they should not be the basis.

On “Love don’t cost a dime”, Magixx and Ayra Starr outline what true love should be. True love does not cost a dime-which means it should not be circumstantial. It should be about feelings, not what misplaced societal values make it to be.

Ayra Starr and Magixx try to single out a norm that love- especially between young people- should not be about the material things they both get from the relationship. It should not be the focus, but an addition.

Lyricism

Of course, the lyrics are on point. Magixx himself is a very talented musician and lyricist. While Ayra Starr is good with song hooks and making songs very memorable by incorporating amazing lyrics into the song.

Mixing/producing/Song Engineering 

“Love don’t cost a dime” does not have extra things or glibs that make the song tiring. It is straight to the point. The beats are on point and the modulation on the verses are cool.

This also exalts its replay value- because it is a short and a pleasant listen. You want to listen to it over and over again because it just sounds that good!

Flaw(s)

There should have been a more memorable chorus which should have been built on  “Love don’t cost a dime”.

Also, Ayra Starr and Magixx should have indicated that the other things which may make love cost a dime are additions, and not that love itself truly costs a dime.
