The song All Blue is taken from the album All Blue hence the song acts as an introduction to the album. The album was released on 2018 and the genre is R&B/Soul. There are various reasons why All Blue highlights the need for elevation but before we go through the reasons,there is need to know more about Jade Novah. According to Soulbounce:Jade Novah's All Blue is All Good by Ken Hamm, it states that the singer,songwriter,actress and Beyoncé impersonator extraordinaire Jade Novah is known for her amazing covers. Novah has flipped the script on everyone from Adele to Ke$ha to Kendrick Lamar. Cardi B even shouted her out for covering Be Careful and expertly mashing it up with Drake's God's Plan.
From the background information above, Jade Novah is known to be impersonating musicians like Beyoncé. This shows she is very talented who has realized her true worth hence one of the reasons why she sets her sights on releasing the song All Blue followed by it's album.
The title of the song All Blue is very crucial to understand why it's all about elevation. According to Soulbounce it states that while the title might sound melancholy,the track is anything but. Instead,It's an inspirational ode to rising above. This explains why Jade Novah decided to name the song All Blue. Usually if someone hears the word "blue" they immediately think about sadness. However the song is all about inspiring others to follow their dreams. All Blue is different in a way that it challenges you to not judge a book by it's cover hence Jade Novah is all about being original and this explains why the song is all about elevation.
The lyrics of the song All Blue also explains why it is all about elevation. According to Soulbounce it states that Jade asks sweetly, "Who wants to be on the ground anymore when there's so much in the sky?". All Blue is an ode to looking at the bigger picture. According to the artist,we often get distracted by our day-to-day toils and troubles,but if we rise above,we can see how small our problems are and do bigger things. This message is delivered by our bluesy production composed of bass guitar,drums and keys with a little hip-hop twist. This shows that no matter what happens we should always rise up hence the need to elevate ourselves.
Moreover,the bridge of the lyrics also shows the need to elevate ourselves. "Don't do that,don't say that/Y'all don't want me to be free/'Cause ya'll be sleeping,but we daydreaming/You're afraid of us/Don't feel bad,don't look back/Why can't we just let it be/'Cause ya'll be watching and ya'll keep talking/Sooner or later,you have to let go and breathe". From the lyrics,it reveals a lot more about the song. When Jade Novah said "don't do that",it seems she is talking about the haters who do not want her to succeed. However she is still rising above,elevating herself. Moreover,where she said "don't feel bad" means that we should stop pretending that we are less than we are to protect someone's ego. Instead we should keep rising to success and we should not live our lives to please everyone. This is why the lyrics of the song clearly explains why it is all about elevation.
Lastly,her interview with Tidal clearly shows that the song highlights the need for elevation. According to Tidal:JADE NOVAH OPERATES IN A HIGHER SPACE by Paley Martin July 26 2018:Jade Novah said,"I was a background vocalist for several different artists over the years-Rihanna primarily. Moreover she said,"I just kind of lived in that space for a while as well before meeting [my husband]Devin. I met him in Atlanta in the midst of writing for other people and we both were in that space of wanting to stop chasing placements and create something where we could maintain our create control and musical integrity. That's when we started working on the Jade Novah project". This shows that Jade Novah and Devin wanted to make a statement that they are out there rising,working hard to be the best people they can be hence elevating themselves.
Jade Novah also gives reasons why she wanted to introduce her own music with All Blue. According to Tidal she said,"We were working on the album over the course of nine months. We were doing a lot of things at the time. All Blue was towards the middle of the project and I knew that it would be a good introduction to the album because before writing it,everything we had been creating had an underlying theme of elevation of operating in a higher space or loving in a higher space". From being a background vocalist to introducing her own album,Jade Novah has realized her true potential as a musician hence All Blue inspires others to realize their true potential and chase after their dreams.
Moreover,Jade Novah mentions the meaning behind the song All Blue. According to Tidal she said," 'We're all made up of stars' is a cool line from the song that's just saying that all of us are connected,we're all made of the same stuff that the universe is made of. We have the power to control our destiny and we're all magic. It's really just owning our power,elevating. Everything's all blue,It's all good". This means that we are responsible with our lives therefore if we are not happy about it,we should do something about it hence why the song All Blue highlights the need for elevation.
In conclusion,All Blue is not about sadness but elevating ourselves to be the best people we can be.
