Single of the Day: Rihanna - What Now

Oleh: admincd - 02 Dec 2013

Released by: Universal Music Indonesia

Gaya Rihanna tidak terbatas. Meskipun telah sedemikian banyak hit yang ia cetak dengan gaya musik uptempo yang dengan mudahnya mengajak pendengar untuk berjoget bersamanya, ia juga memiliki banyak moment yang menggerakkan pendengar secara emosional. Setelah 'Diamonds' dan 'Stay' yang berlaku demikian, maka kini giliran 'What Now' yang akan menggetarkan jiwa. Skenario yang terjadi tampaknya membuat "Unapologetic" memiliki pendekatan emosional.

Denial berbuah galau. Itulah kisah sejati dalam 'What Now'. Kurang kasian apa saat mengamati deskripsi lirik di bagian verse yang memaparkan keengganan untuk mengeluarkan ekspresi sedih hati? Dan kemudian kegalauan yang merajalela, mengoyak bathin dalam pertanyaan "what now?" di bagian chorus. Aransemen musik yang dramatis memperparah keadaan.

Antisipasi ekspektasi yang sempurna Rihanna lakukan lewat video musik untuk single ini. Segala kegilaan yang terjadi adalah gambaran emosional yang nyata dari kegalauan yang dirasa. See? Sesusah-susahnya otak mencerna apa yang terjadi dalam tayangan video tersebut adalah keluh kesah yang sebenar-benarnya terjalin dalam rangkaian lirik lagu ini.

Artis Livvi Franc bahu membahu bersama Rihanna dalam mengonsep lagu emosional ini. Sementara Kuk Harrell, produser yang tahu persis proporsi yang Rihanna butuhkan dalam karyanya beroperasi sebagai produser. Mereka berikut nama-nama lain yang bersarang dalam tim 'What Now' patut mendapat jempol atas perlakuan kesengajaan yang menyentuh jiwa setiap kali single ini diputar.

LYRIC

I've been ignoring this big lump in my throat

I shouldn't be crying, tears were for the weaker days

I'm stronger now, or so I say,

But something's missing

Whatever it is, it feels like

It's laughing at me through the glass of a two-sided mirror

Whatever it is, it's just laughing at me

And I just wanna scream

What now? I just can't figure it out

What now? I guess I'll just wait it out (wait it out)

What now? Oh, oh, oh, oh! What now?

I found the one, he changed my life

But was it me that changed

And he just happened to come at the right time

I'm supposed to be in love

But I'm numb again

Whatever it is, it feels like

It's laughing at me through the glass of a two-sided mirror

Whatever it is, it's just sitting there laughing at me

And I just wanna scream

What now? I just can't figure it out

What now? I guess I'll just wait it out (wait it out)

What now? Please tell me

What now?

There's no one to call 'cause I'm just playing games with them all

The more I swear I'm happy, the more that I'm feeling alone

'Cause I spent every hour just going through the motions

I can't even get the emotions to come out

Dry as a bone, but I just wanna shout

What now? I just can't figure it out

What now? I guess I'll just wait it out (wait it out)

What now? Somebody tell me

What now?

I don't know where to go

I don't know what to feel

I don't know how to cry

I don't know oh oh why

I don't know where to go

I don't know what to feel

I don't know how to cry

I don't know oh oh why

I don't know where to go

I don't know what to feel

I don't know how to cry

I don't know ow ow why

So what now?
