On 5ive Songs, we (I) keep things short and sweet – no extra calories or needless fluff. There’s a topic, five songs, and a short blurb that doesn’t exceed a paragraph. Yes, it’s a playlist, but it’s a miniature playlist that shouldn’t take much time to consume. On this edition of 5ive Songs, we select five songs that are associated with PLASTIC in some form or fashion.
1. Miley Cyrus, “Plastic Hearts”
💿 Plastic Hearts • 🏷 RCA • 📅 2020

“I’ve been California dreamin’ / Plastic hearts are bleedin’ / Keep me up all night (Keep me up) / Keep me up all night (All night).” 🎙 Miley Cyrus rocks on 🎵 “Plastic Hearts,” the second track from her fine 2020 album, 💿 Plastic Hearts. Here, everything seems to be superficial – plastic – as opposed to real. The pre-chorus and of course, the aforementioned chorus highlight a temporary high, only to ultimately be disappointed. Like so many other musicians, California gets a negative connotation for being a letdown despite having big dreams when going in. Damn you, plasticity!
2. Future & Lil Uzi Vert, “Plastic”
💿 Pluto x Baby Pluto • 🏷 Atlantic / Epic • 📅 2020

If you have faith that seven is indeed a lucky and special number, perhaps that’s the reason that 🎵 “Plastic” stands out on 💿 Pluto x Baby Pluto. “Plastic” is the seventh track on the collaborative project by 🏆 Grammy-winning rapper 🎙 Future and 🏆 Grammy-nominated rapper, 🎙 Lil Uzi Vert. From the start, the record is quite a vibe thanks to great production work courtesy of 🎙 London On Da Track. Sigh, that classy orchestral palette backing Future and Lil Uzi Vert is pretty sweet. Also, pretty sweet are the flows by both rappers, even if it’s fair to be skeptical about, um, the profundity and ‘substance’ of the track (“When I couldn’t cash my check, I went and sold dope / Make it go and swipe, swipe, doin’ four, four”).
3. Lady Gaga, “Plastic Doll”
💿 Chromatica • 🏷 Interscope • 📅 2020

On 🎵 “Plastic Doll,” the ninth track from 💿 Chromatica, 🎙 Lady Gaga seems to be seeking love – she’s “spent too long dancing all alone.” That said, she also has a set of expectations for “a real boy” – no Pinocchio! Those rules, which she details on the chorus? She just wants to be treated right – “Don’t play with me / … No, no, no, I’m not your plastic doll.” “Plastic Doll” is not only a catchy song – a real bop – but also, quite clever. Stitching up the track for the Lady? 🎙 Bloodpop and 🎙 Skrillex.
4. Drake & Future, “Plastic Bag”
💿 What a Time to Be Alive! • 🏷 Cash Money / Epic • 📅 2015

“Get a plastic bag / Go ahead and pick up all the cash… / You’ve danced all night, girl, you deserve it.” Back in 2015, 🎙 Drake and 🎙 Future dropped their collaborative mixtape, 💿 What a Time to Be Alive! Both artists had had a successful year with this tape only expanding on their positive numbers. On “Plastic Bag,” the sixth track, both artists want to ensure that those ‘dancers’ get paid. Apparently, on Future’s end of things, he “Ordered 60,000 ones, told the owner ‘bout to break a record.’” As 🎙 Juicy J once asserted, “Bandz a Make Her Dance”.
5. Sampha, “Plastic 100˚C”
💿 Process • 🏷 Young Turks • 📅 2017

🎵 “Plastic 100˚C” commences 💿 Process, the debut album by British musician 🎙 Sampha personally, chocked full of emotion. Lyrically, he brilliantly relies on outer space references to share his emotional rollercoaster. The best instance of this occurs throughout the choruses as he sings, “You touched down in the base of my fears / Houston, can-can-can you hear me now?” His voice is pained, clearly wearing his emotions on his sleeves. He does a phenomenal job of depicting his vulnerability musically.
