"The Drop (feat. Joe Dukie)" by The Nextmen
Curated by: Mike Floeck
Spotify: bit.ly/TheDropTheNextmen
Genre: #funk
“The Drop” starts out with a percussive drum loop and a little bit of clavinet to get the hips rolling, rather than just rocking. As Joe Dukie swings in with his caramel vocals, velvety and rich in timbre, the whole environment of the song clicks into place and we begin to get where it’s going. “The Drop” not only alludes to Joe dropping this relationship that’s messing with his head so bad but more literally that he’s got the inside scoop. He’s figured out all the messiness his significant other is spreading around, and he knows how to counter it now.
It doesn’t always come as a total shock when you decide your lover is a piece of shit, ergo Joe’s nonchalant, totally-controlled inflection through the lyrics, which are nonchalant in their own right. Nothing about this song screams urgency; its groove is slow-burning and low-flying, hugging the ground and rolling smoothly. It’s not offensive, it’s not brash or mean, or even erratic: he’s just simply making it known that he’s got the drop, and the buck stops here. Though it’s not always cut-and-dried, such as when he sings “Oh you don’t get me high no more, but I still love you just the same.” Oh? You do? Even though you got the drop?
This general matter-of-fact frankness resonates with the general public: remember CeeLo’s “Fuck You” How could you forget? The cultural attitude is incredibly meta now, focusing on thoughts that scream I-don’t-think-about-you-anymore-but-I’m-still-gonna-say-it because that embodies and inspires confidence that’s inherently powerful. And who doesn’t want to feel that?
