 “F*ckin’ Barbie”Written and performed by Amelle ‘Miami’ Sebert Quote:‘The third single from Amelle Sebert, a.k.a ‘Miami’ is another in the slow-build towards her debut album. She’s not taken the industry by storm or really ignited it enough in a way to make her considered a stand-out or even a rising star. From what we know and what we’ve heard, she’s just there I guess, putting out a song every now and then and “working” on her debut album. In the past 6 months or more, we’ve seen a re-generation of the rap genre, we’ve seen it flux and flow between embarrassing feuds and absolute genius art. People like Lotus, Isaac Lovelock, Chloe and Liyah have quickly risen to the top of the pile while those just slightly below them are doing a good job in attempting to de-throne whomever you believe is at the very top of the perch. Then there’s those that are further below, due to various reasons an act like ‘Miami’ isn’t in the game, not even on the radar of these kings and queens of the genre, partly due to inactivity perhaps but more so just down to a lack of cutting edge, while others have unleashed a wave of singles and guest spots, Miami has rarely been heard or seen of. It’s not to say that her music isn’t good, it’s just not close to the standard and the bar is constantly being raised … however, you get the feeling that it doesn’t particularly matter to her where she’s standing in the metaphorical power rankings of the genre. But that is part of the problem, she doesn’t appear to care to get involved.
She releases her latest single, the words come thick and fast amidst a strong piano backdrop, adding melody to an otherwise flat song with not particularly ground-breaking lyrics. A heavy dance beat during the final verse plays over the repeated phrase “We don’t need you, f*ckin Barbie” makes it a bizarre way to end what started off as quite a melodic song. The theme of the song comes into question too, on first listen you’d be forgiven in assuming it’s a ‘diss track’ aimed at a number of popstars currently in the music industry, but there’s no reason not to think that this is actually about Miami herself.’ “So, this is the generation that we gotta follow?
Plasticine bimbo with a brain so hollow
Air-head Barbie with an entourage so vast
You got fifteen minutes of fame b*tch, make this sh*t last
Cos’ you ain’t got the skills
To keep you in the game
You ain’t got the thrills
To really bring you fame
You got your group of writers
Supplying you with songs
But you ain’t got sh*t
When the next product comes along
So what about the fight?
Yeah, what about the struggle?
Ever spend the night with all your family huddled?
Tryin’ to do anything to keep your bodies warm
Anything to keep their kids safe from harm
Can’t play outside
Cos the neighbourhood is wild
I’m only looking out for you my darling child
So do you know what it takes to battle through the day?
Go through all kinds of sh*t
Just to find your way
Daddy bought you everything
You could possibly desire
But if I were him
I’d have bought you matches
Just to watch you set yourself on fire
You think you’re a role model
Kids look up to you?
But this is it
I ain’t talking sh*t
There’s something I need to say to you
You got fifteen minutes, b*tch and yeah you better run
Because your time is ticking down
Fame is holding the trigger
Gonna make things right
Gonna paint this town
With your f*ckin’ blood tonight
Sing with me!
Sing with me now!
We don’t need you, f*ckin Barbie
We don’t need you, f*ckin Barbie
We don’t need you, f*ckin Barbie
We don’t need you, f*ckin Barbie
We don’t need you, f*ckin Barbie
We don’t need you, f*ckin Barbie
We don’t need you, f*ckin Barbie
We don’t need you, f*ckin Barbie” |
