welly
Ini bukan Chipmunk yang bersuara imut-imut dari film layar lebar itu lho. Ini adalah Chipmunk, seorang rapper asal Inggris yang baru berusia 19 tahun. Prestasi sudah lumayan banyak. Contohnya aja di tahun 2008 lalu, dia menang 2 MOBO Awards sebagai Best UK Newcomer dan Best Hip-Hop Act. Prestasinya nambah saat single Oopsy Daisy menjadi juara di UK Singles chart di Oktober tahun 2009. Nah, gebrakannya tahun ini adalah tampil bareng Esmee Denters di single Until You Were Gone yang akan dirilis bulan April ini juga. Single ini merupakan single andalan dari album perdananya Chipmunk yang dirilis ulang dengan judul I Am Chipmunk The More, More, More Edition.
What I like about this single adalah ini lagu dngan dinamika yang positif dan dengan gampangnya bisa dinikmati siapa aja. Chipmunk sangat beruntung karena Esmee yang diajak untuk berkejasama disini. Mengapa? Karena vokalnya Esmee yang jernih dan dimanis merupakan nilai jual yang yahud. Coba tonton videonya, bukan berniat menyatakan bahwa Esmee lebih dominan, hanya saja Esmee jauh lebih terlihat nyaman di depan kamera dibanding Chipmunk sendiri yang seperti kikuk dan bergaya yang gitu-gitu aja.
Liriknya juga seru, mengisahkan tentang penyesalan. Disini kita diajari untuk benar-benar menghargai apa yang ada di kita sekarang, sebelum semuanya berlalu. Hook yang ditawarkan oleh Esmee juga juara. Bagian yang paling aku suka dari lagu ini. Intinya, Chipmunk ft Esmee Denters di lagu Until You were Gone adalah salah satu lagu terbaik yang ada di tahun ini. Let's sing along! "Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh"

Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh (C.M)
Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
Check
If I had all the money in the world
I still couldn't buy me a brand new girl I love
Too much clubbing, not enough loving
Too much shopping, too busy chasing this thriller
Who's now took a lost on your winner
Sitting there singing this song like
You never know what you've got 'til it's gone like
Damn, I wish I would've seen it coming
Cause I blink for a second and you caught me slipping, Oh, Oh, Oh
Now we're done before we even started
Didn't know how much I missed you
(Didn't know how much I would miss you
I messed up the perfect picture)
Until You Were Gone, gone, gone
Until You Were Gone, gone, gone
Until You Were Gone, gone, gone
I didn't know how much I missed you
Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh-oh
Let me go, Yeah
And look still I'm here
She left me with no idea
I just don't get it, it's kinda weird
How you took off quicker than my career. it's kinda left
It took a wrong man to admit he's wrong
Still can't do it, I just put it in a song
So don't correct me, I know that I'm wrong
(I just need love)
I'm too stuck in my ways,
And I know this ain't helping me change
And I'm sitting here singing this song like
You never know what you've got 'til it's gone like
Damn, I wish I would've seen it coming
Cause I blink for a second and you caught me slipping, Oh, Oh, Oh
Now we're done before we even started
Didn't know how much I missed you
(Didn't know how much I would miss you
I messed up the perfect picture)
Until You Were Gone, gone, gone
Until You Were Gone, gone, gone
Until You Were Gone, gone, gone
I didn't know how much I missed you
Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh-oh (Whooa)
Let me go, Yeah
I'm too stressed and I'm trying not to flip
I close my eyes and you're beside my lips
So I try not to blink for one split sec
Cus she bought in, and got my piece wrecked
Since you left, nothing ain't right
Two different ways, we have to part sides
It's a long sighting, y'know, It ain't the same when you went missing
Didn't know how much I missed you until you were gone, gone, gone
until you were gone, gone, gone
until you were gone, gone, gone
until you were gone, gone, gone
I didn't know how much I missed you
(Didn't know how much I would miss you
I messed up the perfect picture)
Damn, I wish I would've seen it coming
Cause I blink for a second and you caught me slipping, Oh, Oh, Oh
Now we're done before we even started
I didn't know how much I missed you
Until You Were Gone, gone, gone
Until You Were Gone, gone, gone
Until You Were Gone, gone, gone
