Steven Universe is a real Gem!

I love Steven Universe. It's the greatest show on earth! It's a show about these magical beings called gems, that have powers related to the gems they are made of (like Pearl, Ruby, Garnet Amethyst etc) and Steven Universe, who is a half human-half gem boy. They live great adventures trying to protect the earth from rogue tainted gems and gems from Homeworld, who wish to take revenge on earth and Rose Quartz, who led a rebellion on earth. What the homeworld gems don't seem to understand is that Rose Quartz gave up her existence in orther to give birth to Steven. As for Steven, he is troubled because the responsibility over his shoulders forces him to mature way too fast for his age, and he feels everyone expects him to be like his mom.

But what I really like about this show is that it is a show about love and consciusness of the others and oneself, acceptance to differences and how we deal with our feelings.

The show was created by Rebecca Sugar, who also writes a lot of the songs of the show. There are many great artists and performers involved in creating the music,  such as Aivi and Surrashu and Estelle (voice of Garnet).

Its also great how the music weaves instruments like the ukulele and vocals with synths and pads. Each character has their own pallete of sounds and it gives them life. And the songs are all just great!

Here's an interview with Aivi and Surrashu for Vice:
