What to do with a Okay-pop tune titled “Shotty”? It definitely doesn’t match throughout the Korean lexicon, and should you google the phrase its technical that means is medical jargon for “small, arduous, and spherical lymph nodes.” I extremely doubt Hyolyn has been impressed to sing a tune about lymph nodes, so I assume she’s modified the considerably dated slang phrase “shorty” (until she’s speaking a couple of shotgun?).
The phrase “shotty” doesn’t really ever seem within the tune Shotty, deepening the thriller additional. As a substitute, Hyolyn continues to remind us that she’s “not a narrative.” Okay. Possibly she’s saying that she’s greater than a easy anecdote in somebody’s love life, however I’d argue that we’re all made up of the tales inside us. As Maya Angelou famously stated: “There isn’t a larger agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” Tales and experiences mould us into the individuals we’re. And to cite the good knowledge of Shotty: “Really feel the ache you fall. Say what?” I believe that claims all of it. Or it says nothing. Who is aware of? Say what?
There’s a motive I don’t usually assessment lyrics in Okay-pop songs, however Shotty is sort of boring as music so my thoughts mechanically tuned into the phrases. I completely adore Hyolyn, however we’re so removed from Sistar territory right here. On the plus facet, the most effective a part of Shotty is wordless. Her breathy “oooh” ad-libs through the refrain recall the attractive harmonic mix of my all-time favourite popstar Janet Jackson. Extra of that, please!
