La banda electrónica impone sus bases que tantos buenos ratos aportan. Y, en esta ocasión, añaden un buen momento musical que hace recordar cómo, Grace Chatto y los hermanos Jack y Luke Patterson (Clean Bandit), siguen reforzándose con colaboraciones como realizaban tras aquel primer éxito con 'Rather Be', junto a Jess Glynne de 2014 y con muchos otros incluidos 'Rockabye' con Sean Paul y Anne-Marie, 'Symphony' con Zara Larsson y 'Solo' con Demi Lovato que, dicho sea de paso, sumaron a aquel disco de 2018 'What Is Love?' que también contenía colaboraciones con Ellie Goulding, Rita Ora, Big Boi de Outkast, Craig David y muchos más.
'Sad Girls'
Repletos de ritmo electrónico y toques africanos de total actualidad, están de vuelta. Recordemos que muy recientemente Selena Gomez se apuntaba a los ritmos afrobeat del nigeriano Rema para su 'Calm Down' como ahora hace Clean Bandit sumando al también británico French the Kid.
Clean Bandit ha contaco que conocierto a French The Kid el año pasado "Después de enamorarnos de su canción Thrill, y nos sentimos honrados de que grabara un verso para nuestro remix de Drive. Después de eso, vino a nuestro estudio e hicimos dos canciones desde cero, una de ellas es Sad Girls". Y, de Rema, aseguran que es uno de sus músicos favoritos del panorama internacional y que "Durante una escala reciente de 24 horas en Londres, pasó una noche con nosotros en el estudio. Escribió su verso para Sad Girls alrededor de las cinco de la mañana. Estábamos muy cansados pero él estaba totalmente enérgico, y presenciar su proceso creativo fue una de las mejores experiencias que hemos tenido en la historia de la banda".
El resultado de toda esa mezcla de talento está ya a disposición.
Así suena la canción
Sad girls
Sad girl, I promise, you'll be okay (another banger)
Money on my mind, guess you fantasize
Levels to the remedy stuck in my mind
Told my momma, "Shit, I promise we gon' be alright"
Still I keep you awake at night
Yeah, get it in, only way I'll get it out
At least I made my brother proud
I be riding 'round, they tryna find me now
I'm feelin' happy, I ain't always down, yeah
I know she feelin' me, no therapy, I'm the realest G, I know
LSD, so I feel the breeze, I got the sad girls feeling like I'm ecstasy
I got this one gyal telling me that I'm the one
Came close, had to fill it when I jam my gun
Got more time when they feel the drums
Got the bass on my mind when I'm feelin' numb
Got my little darling, we gon' fly to the sky
I'll be drinking 'til the feeling in my head goes dumb
Yeah, I'm walkin' on clouds, is it real?
I be trippin' with her body, but I stand up now
'Cause I like her, but this girl a Gemini
And she, and she really got me trapped right now
Are you feelin' the vibes, is it real?
I can't hear you when the music be up so
I'll be drinking 'til the feeling in my head
(Promise you'll be, I promise you'll be o-)
(Sad girl, promise you'll be o-)
(Promise you'll be, I promise you'll be okay)
I'll be drinking 'til the feeling in my head
(Promise you'll be, I promise you'll be o-)
(Sad girl) promise you'll be okay
There's something I see about this girl different
From the first time I saw her
For a moment she look like a loner
When she move on the dance floor
She got the vibe, she got that essence where nobody else fi belong
I can tell she a sad gyal, love sad boy, this side she be on
Oh, party's over
She cryin' outside
I asked her, "What's wrong?"
She said, "Leave me alone"
I don't want your love
Kiss me and just go
I think she's, I think she's a sad girl
Got my little darling, we gon' fly to the sky (oh-oh)
I'll be drinking 'til the feeling in my head goes dumb
Yeah, I'm walkin' on clouds, is it real? (Oh-oh)
I be trippin' with her body, but I stand up now
'Cause I like her, but this girl a Gemini (oh-oh)
And she, and she really got me trapped right now
Are you feelin' the vibes, is it real? (is it real?)
I can't hear you when the music be up so
I'll be drinking 'til the feeling in my head
(Promise you'll be, I promise you'll be o-, sad girl)
Promise you'll be okay
(Promise you'll be, I promise you'll be okay)
I'll be drinking 'til the feeling in my head
(Promise you'll be, I promise you'll be o-, sad girl)
Promise you'll be okay
And I feel like I'm floatin' through the sky
Baby, tell me if you feel what I feel
I'm imaginin' us smokin', feelin' high
Got this Cali in my pack for the chill
She told me come and fly to this paradise
I got feelings in my body and they never lie
All this liquor in my cup's got me feelin' right
I don't care about my issues when I feel alive, yeah
