La pop star britannica Anne-Marie difficilmente ci regala delusioni. Sarà così anche nel 2021?
Probabilmente si. Non inizia male, te lo diciamo subito.
La cantante ha dato il via alla sua campagna sonora per il 2021 con un banger dal titolo “Don’t Play“. Si tratta di una collaborazione con il rapper britannico KSI e il produttore Digital Farm Animals.
“Mi intrufolo a scuola solo per vederti, sono ossessionato dal profumo che hai addosso”, rappa KSI nei suoi versi. “Coco Chanel sul tuo collo con il tuo corpo tutto d’un pezzo, sono innamorato quando sto con te.” Tuttavia, Anne-Marie non è molto convinta. “Se vuoi mentire, ti saluto”, mette il broncio. “Ogni gioco a cui stai giocando… li ho già provati tutti prima di te.”
La star emergente ha però un ripensamento sul ritornello orecchiabile. “Non giocare, non giocare con il mio cuore”, dice Anne-Marie. “Ora le sensazioni mi colpiscono in modo diverso, quando colpiscono così in profondità non giocare, non giocare.” Il bop è immediatamente accattivante ed è accompagnato da un video altrettanto interessante, che presenta tutti e tre i collaboratori. Anne-Marie riesce anche a mostrare le sue abilità nelle arti marziali (è tre volte campionessa mondiale di karate Shotokan). Meglio non farla arrabbiare ragazzi. Qui sotto il testo in lingua originale.
Il testo di Don’t Play
[Ritornello: Anne-Marie]
Don’t play games
Don’t play games with my heart, ooh-wee
Now the feels hit me differently
When they hittin’ this deep, don’t play
Don’t play, yeah, yeah
Don’t play games
Don’t play games with my heart, ooh-wee
Now the feels hit me differently
When they hittin’ this deep, don’t play
Don’t play, yeah, yeah
[Verso 1: KSI]
All that time on your own with me
We had fun on the 360
I helped you get a UAV
Still could never get you that AC
Sneakin’ in school just to get by you
I’m obsessed with the scent on you
Coco Chanel on your neck with your body in check
Lovin’ all the timе with you
[Pre-Ritornello: KSI]
But now you’ve just gone missin’
And you’re airin’ all my wishеs
You’re online, but still won’t listen
All my time is you dismissin’
This is in no way a two-way street
I’m playin’ sad and it’s on repeat
Got me here hopin’ you see my Snap
‘Cause I’m not ready for us to wrap, no, woah
[Ritornello: Anne-Marie]
Don’t play games
Don’t play games with my heart, ooh-wee
Now the feels hit me differently
When they hittin’ this deep, don’t play
Don’t play, yeah, yeah
Don’t play games (Don’t play games)
Don’t play games with my heart, ooh-wee (With my heart)
Now the feels hit me differently (Differently, differently)
When they hittin’ this deep, don’t play (Don’t play)
Don’t play, yeah, yeah
[Verso 2: Anne-Marie]
All the things you doin’
Yeah, I think I’ve seen it all before
Seen it, seen it all before, ah
Everything you’re sayin’
Yeah, I think I’ve heard it all before
Yeah, heard it all before
If you don’t give me your time
Then I ain’t givin’ you mine, huh
If you’re gonna lie
Then I’ma say goodbye
Every game you’re playin’
Yeah, boy, I’ve played them all before
And I win them all
[Pre-Ritornello: KSI, with Anne-Marie]
‘Cause now you’ve just gone missin’

Got me here hopin’ you see my Snap
‘Cause I’m not ready for us to wrap, no, woah
