One of the reasons “Super Bass” is such a banger is its emotional depth: Just take a close listen to the mournful chords that run beneath the verses, providing contrast and context for the track’s hot-blooded desire, as well as its siren call to party. Having shared a male-gaze-flipping list of what she finds attractive in a man, Nicki Minaj’s quickfire bars race the beat to the chorus, which “boom badoom boom” bursts like a rainbow after a downpour. A trance-y bridge with digital strings seals the deal on this masterclass in contemporary pop. –Ruth Saxelby
“Super Bass”之所以能够大热,其中一个原因就是在于这首歌的情感深度:注意用心听副歌下流淌的悲伤的和弦,那是为整首歌热血沸腾的欲望还有紧急派对的召唤提供对比和背景。Nicki Minaj分享了一份男性魅力清单,列出了她觉得男人有魅力的地方。Minaj的快闪酒吧节奏逐渐和副歌一样快,“boom badoom boom” 的一声就像倾盆大雨后的彩虹。一座带数字琴弦的迷幻桥结束了这堂当代流行音乐的大师课。
