Awesome sound by Doja Cat: Interesting facts about the song Boss B*tch (soundtrack to the film Birds of Prey: The Amazing Harley Quinn Story).
Содержание
"Boss B*tch" is a bright, dynamic, and perhaps quite daring song by singer Doja Cat. Surely you have heard it many times: either in TikTok, or just on the radio... However, the flurry of popularity fell on the track with the release of the film about everyone's favourite supervillain on the big screens, namely: "Birds of Prey: The Amazing Harley Quinn Story"!
The song has already brought Doja Cat thousands of new fans, and hence we suggest to know a little more about it...
About the song...
There can be no doubt that our heroine (Doja Cat, of course) has never lacked self-confidence. This became clear even after the release of her two studio albums, Amala (2018) and Hot Pink (2019)! At the moment, Doja is probably the most flamboyant R&B / hip-hop artist - at least among girls for sure! And now, released in January 2020, the single "Boss B*tch" once again became an example of the artist's self-confidence to the public... We think the title of the track needs no translation! In the first verse, Dodge declares: "I'm the whole damn cake and the cherry on top"! Strong, isn't it?
If we talk about "Boss B*tch" in more detail, it's a great rap dance track that sings about female empowerment! With lyrics, the singer encourages all women of the world to love themselves and know their worth!
In fact, "Boss B*tch" literally exudes confidence and power... And that's despite the track lasting just over two minutes! Doja Cat gives the listener an exhilarating flow of wild energy, showcasing his usual relatable side. Doja makes his point clearly and concisely, without water and "frills". This is especially felt in the chorus, where she declares: "I'm the boss!"
Track structure
"Boss B*tch" is a dynamic speed recording interwoven with layers of synth sounds and bells... The lyrical content of the song can be described as "a fiery message in response to the gossip of haters"!
Going beyond the lyrics, the production is based on a percussive groove and synthesisers. Despite being a hip-hop record, there is an electronic sensibility to it - at least as far as the musical palette is concerned. Taking advantage of the variety of colours, Doja Cat paints a vibrant and rather aggressive masterpiece...
Released as the soundtrack to the film Birds of Prey: The Amazing Story of Harley Quinn, this track serves as a confidence-boosting game-changer... Doja Cat brings a fast-paced club beat to the fray that doesn't subside for a moment.
"Boss B*tch" could be your favourite workout song or just a great party track! "I wear a hat and trousers / I'm advanced, that means I get promoted" may not be the most challenging lyric, but it's definitely encouraging and confidence-boosting!
Critical reception
Despite its brash, aggressive overtones, "Boss B*tch" received exceptionally (or almost) positive reviews from music critics! For example, Patrick Johnson of Hypebeast noted that Dodgy's performance of this "club single" clearly "exudes the confidence as well as the anti-artistic swagger of the main character in a supervillain film..."
At the time, James Dean of IHeartRadio called the song in question "a flag that gives a rising star more reason to bring his persona to the attention of the general public..."
Ratings on the charts!
The composition "Boss B*tch" was released as the third single for the soundtrack on 24 January 2020. Already in July 2020, it reached number 27 on Billboard, and was soon named the best song of the year!
"Boss B*tch" settled at number 58 on the UK chart.
This track has almost 40 million streams on Spotify!
The music video for the song "Boss B*tch..."
And now for the most "tasty" part, the music video for "Boss B*tch"....
It should be noted right away that this is not just a music video. This is a true work of art, for real!
It all started when Dodja posted pictures from the set on her social media accounts on 14 December 2019... Even then, the singer's fans realised that they were in for something unreal... And they were right!
As a result, the music video was released on the same day as the track, i.e. 23 January 2020! The work includes previously unseen footage from the film... It's worth paying special attention to how masterfully director Jack Begert has edited all the shots: they all flow seamlessly into each other - cuts from the Harley Quinn film and episodes with Doja Cat herself... The adjacent shots show Doja and Quinn defeating their enemies! Doja Cat boasts a rocket launcher and ninja stars, while Harley robs her opponents by stunning them with a bat and impressive reversal kicks... In another scene, the singer and the villain move around the dance floor in the same club!
Conclusion...
Recall that even before the release of "Boss B*tch" Doja Cat debuted her highly anticipated track "Harley"! Fans have been waiting for the novelty for months, and once again Doja proved that it's not all for nothing....
In general, the girl's creativity has searing, rather bright and incendiary dance motifs... It's not surprising! After all, Dodja started composing songs only thanks to her passion for dancing:
"...I've always wanted to create cool tracks that you can just carefree fun, dance and not think about the adversity that happens to all people from time to time ..."
According to the singer herself, at first she used to close herself in her room and sing very, very quietly... She was afraid that someone might hear her and... laugh. But now - thousands of people talk about her as the most popular singer in the rap / hip-hop genre!
"I remember recording my first tracks using GarageBand software and then posting them to SoundCloud... And when I got two likes on one of the songs, I was ecstatic! It was insanely cool. So much so that I even cried..." - Dodja shared her memories.
