TOP 5
5. Adore Me
I think the writing attached to “Adore Me” is pretty damn good.
One could argue that “Adore Me” boasts the best hook on the album. The track’s multi-layered sound perfectly complements Yung Bleu’s deep dive into his emotional side. Lyrically, he strikes a balance between romance and swagger, making it clear that he sees his girl as a max contract candidate. It’s the kind of song that effortlessly pulls you in, making it impossible not to get lost in its vibe.
4. When You @ Me (Fuck That Nigga)
These rappers and R&B singers really make me want to renew my subscription with BRINKS.
In “When You @ Me (Fuck That Nigga),” Yung Bleu sends a bold message to the woman he’s involved with, making it clear that her man doesn’t know her body like he does. The sheer disrespect in that claim is undeniable, yet his unapologetic honesty adds to the song’s intrigue.
What truly makes the track stand out, though, is its soulful, intensely crooned chorus, seductive lyricism, and sultry production, all layered over deep, rhythmic bass. The combination results in a track that’s as provocative as it is undeniably captivating.
3. I Wish I Knew The Old You
You don’t want to know the old me. My breath used to smell awful and I had way too many love handles.
There weren’t many tracks on this album that impressed me; however, “I Wish I Knew The Old You” was one of them. The first thing that caught my attention was its premise. In his verses, Bleu reflects on a woman he’s feeling, emphasizing how much he’s prepared to love her—something different from what she experienced with her ex. Essentially, he believes that if he had known the old her, he could have helped fix her when she was broken. The track’s chorus is absolutely captivating, packed with passion and pure emotion.
2. Sex Is Amazing
I guess it depends on who you’re sexing…
Yung Bleu hits a note I had no clue he could reach in “Sex Is Amazing.” That alone made me rock with the track. Aside from that, the melody he delivers on the chorus is top-tier, the production is smooth and soothing, and his rap verse ties everything together perfectly. Lyrically, Bleu’s take on preferring sex that comes with emotional depth rather than just the physical aspect is something regular Joes will definitely connect with.
1. Friends To Miami (Ft. Meek Mill)
Bam Adebayo is probably plowing her right now.
Despite its laidback vibe, “Friends To Miami” carries a melancholic message. Yung Bleu and Meek Mill reflect on their partners taking trips to Miami, suspecting that these getaways are more about sneaky behavior than relaxation. They attribute this to the shaky foundations of their relationships—ones they’re willing to mend simply because of how irresistible their women are.
What makes this track stand out is its contrast: a chill, melodic beat paired with Meek Mill’s assertive delivery and sharp lyricism. Yung Bleu follows up with a direct, no-nonsense verse that cuts deep. However, the real highlight might be the hook, which carries a smooth, catchy appeal reminiscent of classic Ray J.

Women have Yung Bleu’s heart in prevent defense right now, and it’s amazing to listen to.
I don’t like calling Yung Bleu an R&B singer—I reserve that for guys like Jacquees and nasty-ass Trey Songz—but every time I turn around, I hear Bleu making R&B music. That said, What Makes Us Human is unadulterated, unapologetic R&B. Throughout the project, Bleu sings like his life depends on it, touching on topics such as unconditional love, cheating, and knocking some vajayjay out of the park like Barry Bonds, all over really smooth R&B-hop beats. I rarely heard any lyrics about sliding.
My beef with this project is this: I need to see growth from Yung Bleu. I remember being captivated by his “You’re Still Mines” hit, but it just seems like he hasn’t expanded on his sound at all since then. It feels like the same topics, the same melodies, and the same vibes. I know he’s more talented than that, but What Makes Us Human doesn’t showcase much more of that talent. I just need more depth.
All in all, What Makes Us Human is what you give your girl if she needs More $exy $ongs.
