Aside from its thematic strengths and its delightful characters , if there ’s one thing Steven Universe is bed for , it ’s possess a killer soundtrack , jam - packed with powerful , toe - tapping song . Last dark ’s episode was no exception , with a chill trail that touch some of the show ’s very best melodic moments .
Last nighttime ’s “ Mindful Education ” was all about Steven and Connie learning how to deal with their emotions while they train together as their fusion , Stevonnie . The grandness of any optical fusion in Steven Universe is emotional cohesiveness and focalize — something the duo were struggling with , as Connie was distraught over a defective incident that had happened to her at schooltime .
Enter Garnet , the show ’s sensei for all things nuclear fusion reaction , to teach the fry about the grandness of acknowledging the thoughts and emotion you experience while also being able-bodied to move them aside and focus on the project at script . course , she did it through vocal — and “ Here Comes a Thought , ” sport the outspoken talents of British R&B star Estelle as Garnet and AJ Michalka as Stevonnie , digest decently up there with the Steven Universe ballad to adjudicate all other Steven Universe ballads by : “ strong Than You . ”
“ Stronger Than You ” is about a declaration of impression : it ’s a triumphant rally cry for everything Garnet is and stands for as a character — championing her ego - Charles Frederick Worth as a family relationship delineate by romantic love . It ’s high - tempo , gamey - emotion , loud and bold and lofty .
“ Here Comes a Thought ” on the other script , is much more about internal reflexion , and has a more calming tempo . It ’s still about openly accept the emotion you feel—“the little thing that weigh so much”—but it ’s about temper those emotion with focus so they can be carry healthily , a idea that seat at the core of Steven Universe . It might not be as anthemic as “ Stronger Than You , ” but it ’s as strong and important for the show , thematically .
And like all of Steven Universe ’s songs , it ’s a all-fired good foot - tapper . When the infernal region is this show getting a soundtrack dismissal ?
