Young M.A’s breakthrough single oozes the kind of confidence you can’t fake. Against a loose, snare-heavy beat, she raps breezily about sex with other women—a rarity in hip-hop that she plays off nonchalantly amid lines about getting drunk and cracking jokes with friends. An out stud in an industry that’s still deciding how to digest queer musicians, M.A used “OOOUUU” to carve out a judgment-free zone where she can be herself and feel herself, where she isn’t an outsider but the queen of her own domain. The coyote howl of the title is both a tease and a triumph, the sound of finally feeling at home in your own skin and inviting others to play along with you. –Sasha Geffen
Young M.A的热单释放出毋庸置疑的自信。在一个稀疏如军鼓般的节拍中,她轻松地描述着和其他女人的鱼水之欢——这样的与朋友喝到烂醉如泥并大开玩笑、放肆玩耍的场景在嘻哈中并不多见。在如今音乐行业仍在讨论如何纳入酷儿音乐时,这首歌就显得更加独特,M.A用“OOOUUU”开辟了一个无可非议的领域,在这里她可以尽情感受自我而不是充当别人的观众,她做起了自己的女王。这狼嚎般的标题既像暗示挑逗又像是胜利凯歌,充分表达了她仿佛终于回到家并与朋友派对狂欢的极致喜悦。
