Single of the Day: Karmin - Acapella

Oleh: admincd - 01 Aug 2013

Released by: Sony Music Entertainment Indonesia

Mereka punya style sendiri, dan sekarang gaya itu akan berpadu dengan alternatif dan kesederhanaan corak akapella. Karmin bereksperimen dengan musik mereka dalam single 'Acapella'. Dengan menggandeng Sam Hollander dan juga frontman band Boys Like Girls, Martin Johnson, kehadiran single ini cukup melebarkan batasan musik duo Amy dan Nick.

Tapi sebenarnya musik mereka tidak berbatas. Lihat saja EP "Hello" yang menawarkan beragam warna yang hidup. Dance, pop, R&B, Hip-Hop, mereka menawarkan anti-keseragaman dalam album tersebut. Dan bisa dipastikan di album terbarunya nanti, hal serupa masih ada. 'Acapella' ini menjanjikannya. Pengaruh besar didapat dari film "Pitch Perfect" yang mengangungkan musik dari mulut, dan produser Martin Johnson memberikan sentuhan alternative ke dalamnya. Hasilnya? Infectious, humourous, fabulous.

Ciri yang paling menonjol dari Karmin adalah gamblangnya seruan lirik mereka. Di kesempatan kali ini, kisah yang diangkat adalah pengalaman menemukan pasangan ideal yang kemudian diketahui ternyata tidak sempurna sama sekali. Ada beberapa nasihat ibu yang tercantum di dalamnya, kriteria pasangan ideal orang tua. Asyiknya, kisah yang seyogyanya memilukan itu justru tersaji dalam kehebohan musik dan guyon Amy dalam mengeksekusi vokal dengan berbagai gaya. The falsetto part is the prized posession of the song. Kecerdasan gabungan musik dari akapela dan instrumen adalah kejeniusan yang tersisip. A for 'Acapella'.

LYRIC

Chorus]

Used to be a baby, used to be a lady

Thought you were the perfect lover

All the harmony went falling out of key, so

Now you gotta find another

Now you’re talking crazy saying that you made me

Like I was your Cinderella

You and me are through, though, watch me hit it solo

I’mma do it acapella (x2)

[Verse 1]

Once upon a time, I met the perfect guy

He had that Colgate smile, he had that suit and tie

Mama always said get a rich boyfriend

You don’t gotta love ‘em, girl, you can pretend

You better totes believed her, yeah, every word she said

Thought he was gluten-free, but all that I got was bread

Mama always said nice guys finish last

Beat ‘em at his own game, honey, take the cash

[Pre-Chorus]

Ooh, and what a lucky girl you will be

But no, he didn’t do jack for me

I want a bean with the beanstalk

And if the magic ain’t right, time to walk

[Chorus]

Used to be a baby, used to be a lady

Thought you were the perfect lover

All the harmony went falling out of key, so

Now you gotta find another

Now you’re talking crazy saying that you made me

Like I was your Cinderella

You and me are through, though, watch me hit it solo

I’mma do it acapella, yeah

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I’mma do it acapella, yeah

[Verse 2]

Out on our first date, he took me gourmet

We hit that Olive Garden, my Little Italy

Daddy always said let the gentleman pay

Never ever go Dutch at the buffet

I saw his bad intention, he didn’t wanna talk

He put the saucy on it (Oops!) time to check my watch

Daddy always said money can’t buy class

You don’t wanna get stuck taking out trash

[Pre-Chorus - variation]

Ooh, yeah I guess it wasn’t meant to be

Because he didn’t do jack for me

I want a bean with the beanstalk

And if the magic ain’t right, time to walk

[Chorus]

Used to be a baby, used to be a lady

Thought you were the perfect lover

All the harmony went falling out of key, so

Now you gotta find another

Now you’re talking crazy saying that you made me

Like I was your Cinderella

You and me are through, though, watch me hit it solo

I’mma do it acapella, yeah

[Middle 8]

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I’mma do it acapella

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Watch me do it in falsett-uh

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Never mind, bring the beat back

[Chorus]

Used to be a baby, used to be a lady

Thought you were the perfect lover

All the harmony went falling out of key, so

Now you gotta find another

Now you’re talking crazy saying that you made me

Like I was your Cinderella

You and me are through, though, watch me hit it solo

I’mma do it acapella, yeah

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I’mma do it acapella, yeah
