This week's track is called 'Sexy Bitch'
The feminists out there will no doubt point out that the song title is a disgrace, and I would agree...if not for the fact that the radio release is called 'Sexy Chick' (which is slightly better) and also that if you've ever seen David Guetta who produced the song, you know he would never intentionally offend anybody; he looks like a cross between Nicky Clarke and Avril Lavigne.
Anyway, Guetta, he of 'When love takes over' fame, has worked with the self proclaimed worst lyricist in the world, Akon, to create this over the top dance track which really, though it pains me to say it, hits the spot with regards to filling the dancefloor. Watching the way that Guetta has melded Dance and RnB is almost like watching a four year old get the bread-filling-bread ratio right on a sandwich for the first time. So many (Flo-rida...eurghhhh) have tried and got it so wrong but this song sounds flawless. The synths and echo effects as well as the thumping bass will satisfy even the most hardcore Dance freak and yet at the same time, Akon's terrible lyrics and amazing range will keep the RnB squad begging for more.
The song starts strong, a trademark of DG's (see; BEP's 'I gotta Feeling') with echo effects and bass. Strangely, and to great effect, during the verses and Chorus, Akon's voice sounds completely different to the Akon we know and hate. Think more, Ray J, deeper, more serious, less Fresh. Ok, he reverts to his old irritating voice for the bridge but by then the stolen synths from 'Tainted Love' (don't think I didn't notice Guetts...) have hooked us and Akon could even try comparing the woman to meat like he did in Slow Wind and in all honesty, we would not care. This is one of those songs where the lyrics don't really matter.
Sorry Feministas, I don't think you have a case- this song is awesome and should be taken with a pinch of salt and in all fairness, Akon does reliably inform us that he has tried and failed to 'find the words to describe this girl without being disrespectful'. Its not his fault his English is limited. Thats just ignorance Ladies, tut tut.
I saw atleast three girls out on graduation night who my best mate worryingly informed me had just obtained A,A,A at A level going crazy for this song. Strong independant women know that the best way to succeed around men is to smile and let us beat our chests and open doors, all the while not rubbing your emotional/intellectual superioty in our faces but just by actually achieving and letting your results speak louder than words
Well, that's what all the women I know who have succeeded in life have done, like Guetta's missus Kelly Rowland. Remember gyaldem; nobody likes Misogynists, but nobody likes whiners either! :P
