Are Lover Boys in Music Rated?

Recently, Saint Levant released his single "Very Few Friends" which now has millions of streams on Spotify and over 10 million views on TikTok. Like others, I instantly became obsessed with this man's music after he came up on my For You Page, for the variety of languages he could rap/sing in and his versatility in musical genres. However, I've seen many videos of women saying that Marwan is raising the standard for men and how boys of our generation are changing the level of respect they have towards women. And as far as I know Saint Levant seems like a really nice guy. But in no way does that mean that we as women have to claim that what Marwan Abdelhamid is doing is exceeding our expectations; if anything, he is doing the bare minimum. Furthermore, accepting ideas of being "spoiled" and "enjoyed" can be quite problematic. Marwan is suggesting that he can splash out on a woman and that his money is a tool to her happiness. I believe that Saint Levant wrote this with the intention of building his Lover Boy image, however, the lyricism hasn't had enough thought.

Nevertheless, what Saint Levant is doing is changing the music scene and we should appreciate his art as well as all his other attributes, not just his level of respect towards women and his charming attitude; as a young, trilingual Palestinian he is speaking out for his people and usually creates recurring ideas of freedom for Palestinians, suggested by the idea of '2048' and his past songs like "Haifa in a Tesla" or the "Jerusalem Freestyle" that evidently express themes of the apartheid in Jerusalem. His artistry could continue these themes in future songs as well as the Lover Boy trope he likes to pursue. Perhaps the Lover Boy image is also a marketing technique, to vary his listeners and appeal to women as well as men.

Marwan is not the only artist that does this however. In fact, Lover Boy music has been around for a while. I am an RnB girl and love the 2000s RnB Lover Boys, from Mario to Joe. Artists like Mario and Joe have always been praised for their attractive lyricism that describes respecting women and treating your woman right; this should be the bare minimum for all men, respect is the most basic attribute a man could have towards a woman. For example in Mario's "Let Me Love You" he proposes that women who aren't being treated right by their current partner could do better and be with him; to "Let me(Mario) love you".

I also believe Lover Boys make their songs quite sexual suggesting that a relationship is about sex and how a Lover Boy wants to physically enjoy his partner. For example "Every night, doin' you right" is a direct quote from 'Let Me Love You', where Mario expresses his sexual potential and abilities that he claims to be better than the current partner of the woman in this scenario. Joe also, like many other Lover Boy artists, create multiple sexual images within his art. I want to clarify that there is absolutely nothing wrong with sexual imagery in music, however, I think it paints an artist in a toxic light, if a relationship is solely based on sexual contact. What many male artists aren't doing is respecting all types of women- they aren't being inclusive enough- and they aren't praising the personality or attributes of a woman unless it is sexual. For example, Saint Levant sings "I want the neighbors to hear you yell /Told me she's a CEO, I can tell" where he is exalting a woman for her sexual abilities and not qualities she could have like intelligence or wit. However he does commend her being a business woman and boss bitch: "Self-made, now you're self-paid with your own plans". Although the Lover Boy is meant to fulfill the sexual fantasises of a woman, being in a relationship whether its serious or not should be built on respect for each other, not based on sexual desires; such a relationship is just infatuation.

Of course, Saint Levant, Joe and Mario aren't the only artists that make Lover Boy music. They also don't express violence and toxicity towards women, something that a lot of other male artists do. In fact, this piece is appreciating Saint Levant for his musicality and unique artistry; I have never seen other artists create pieces like his. Additionally Levant's amalgamation of his multi-lingual abilities, cultural pride and Western styles should be applauded. I love Saint Levant's passion for Palestine and how his music is representing a ethnic minority that are often misunderstood by the Western world. I just want this article to communicate my feelings of Lover Boy music and how respecting a woman is a modicum of the level of admiration you should have for the person you are in a relationship with. Finally, women shouldn't alter their standards for a man doing the bare minimum or expect any less than respect from their partner; you deserve the very best.

Therefore, do we rate Lover Boys? Or are they just doing what all men should be expected to do?
