What to do with a Ok-pop music titled “Shotty”? It actually doesn’t match throughout the Korean lexicon, and should you google the phrase its technical which means is medical jargon for “small, arduous, and spherical lymph nodes.” I extremely doubt Hyolyn has been impressed to sing a music about lymph nodes, so I assume she’s modified the considerably dated slang phrase “shorty” (except she’s speaking a few shotgun?).
The phrase “shotty” doesn’t really ever seem within the music 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 any higher agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” Tales and experiences mildew us into the folks 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 typically evaluate lyrics in Ok-pop songs, however Shotty is kind of boring as music so my thoughts routinely tuned into the phrases. I completely adore Hyolyn, however we’re so removed from Sistar territory right here. On the plus aspect, one of the best a part of Shotty is wordless. Her breathy “oooh” ad-libs throughout the refrain recall the beautiful harmonic mix of my all-time favourite popstar Janet Jackson. Extra of that, please!
