Watch: Cilla Raie – “Open For Love (feat. Tiffany Evans)”
Cilla Raie and Tiffany Evans express that they’re ready to give their all to a special someone in “Open For Love.” The R&B-esque beat is backed by a booming bassline, futuristic synths, and the songstresses’ distinctive singing styles.
At the beginning of the record, Cilla Raie fights between her mind and heart. On all accounts, she’s deciding if she should keep her walls up or tear them down.
Tapping into her contralto register, she communicates
“Stay on your grind/Stay out ya mind/You don’t need this no more I keep on telling them I ain’t that deep/But am I lying to myself lately?“
After, Cilla Raie chooses to give love a go with a man she’s falling hard for. She can’t deny the chemistry they share.
During Tiffany Evan’s verse, she admits to being head over heels for her beau. The “Promise Ring” crooner told herself that she’d be cautious. Yet, instead, her lover showed that time didn’t need to stand still. By displaying patience, understanding, and compassion — it was easier for her to be less guarded. She sings,
“Oh look at you got me fallin/I said I would takе my time But you moved on it, got me on edge Now all I ever want is you.“
Towards the song’s closing, the duo speaks on not looking for love. Instead, they’ll let it find them. Until that day comes, they’ll continue elevating and giving themselves that TLC.
“I don’t wanna find myself another man, but I been feeling like I want somebody to touch/I can’t be exclusive/Got too much too loose when money on my mind boy/i’ve been working too hard.”
