Artist Close-Up: Drop The Gun Makes Dance Music For The Mind
If you checked my TeamMate review, you know that I enjoy artist that know hoe to cover up the sad without ignoring it. The trouble for many, with connecting to dance music, is a feeling of “emptiness”. Some people cannot invest in a sound physically; they need the mental or emotional stimulation of a lyric and voice to grab them and then hook them to the beat. Such an “issue” is understandable, and I will never denote somebody’s latch to intellectualism. Thus, Drop The Gun is an intriguing choice for those who connect minds with their bodies for motion.
In her self-titled debut, Drop The Gun glazes sounds from the world with a neo-pop paste. As Indonesian drums play in “All I Want” and the bassline threatens to drop so heavy the earth might cave in out itself in “Get It One”, the Danish artist uses beats like make-up. They are only colorful cover-ups for a face that is more interesting if you choose to see it naturally. Beneath rouges of dark-pop in “Deeper” and eye-shadows of sensuality in “Weeknd” is a lyricist on self-awakening. Whether sexually, spiritually, or socially, Drop The Gun’s instrumentals are only curtains for listeners to go through, and sit upon the ideas of an artists that want you to dance to her music, at first, but think upon it, at best. The result is brilliant because when entering the dance-pop or dark-pop, you cannot go in simply with a good beat. Now, everything seems as if it is has been heard before, which means the only thing that Drop The Gun can do, besides putting her heart on a rhythm, is put her mind, as well. Thus, if you are looking for an artist that has something to say over statement beats then look no further than Drop The Gun.
