ROMA – Gennaio sembra essere periodo di uscite musicali. Bruno Mars, per non essere da meno, ha lanciato così un nuovo singolo, con tanto di video. Il cantante, a sorpresa, ha realizzato il remix di Finesse. A cantare con lui Cardi B, ieri annunciata tra gli artisti che saranno presenti al Coachella 2018. La rapper apre la nuova versione del brano con una strofa aggiunta appositamente per lei.

Finesse, un brano che arriva direttamente dagli anni 90

Nuovo estratto dall’album d’oro 24K Magic, il singolo regala ai fan una hit che sembra essere nata negli anni 90. E il video di Finesse è il trionfo di quegli anni. Colorato e pieno di coreografie. È una dedica a In Living Color, programma comico che in America trattava con ironia il tema del colore della pelle. E proprio in quel programma attori come Jim Carey e Jamie Foxx cominciarono a muovere i primi passi nel mondo dello spettacolo.  “Il video – ha scritto Mars su Twitter – è dedicato al mio show preferito di sempre”.

Insomma, non è difficile paragonare Finesse a quei brani che hanno reso gli anni 90 memorabili dal punto di vista musicale. A tratti, la canzone potrebbe anche ricordare a qualcuno i beat del repertorio degli ‘Nsync. Ovviamente in chiave più moderna. Finesse celebra, però, anche l’amore. Sulla scia di Versace on the floor.

Il testo

Cardi B

Drop top Porsche
Rollie on my wrist
Diamonds up and down my chain
Cardi B, straight stuntin’, can’t tell me nothin’
Bossep up and I changed the game (You spinnin’)
It’s my big bronze boogie, got all them girls shook
My big, fat ass got all them boys hooked
I went from dollar bills, now we popping’ rubber bands
Bruno sang to me while I do my money dance like

(Aye!)
Flexin’ on the ground like

Hit the Lil Jon, okay (Okay), okay (Okay)
Oh, yeah we drippin’ in finesse, getting paid (Ow!)

Bruno Mars

Ooh, don’t we look good together?
There’s a reason why they watch all night long (All night long)
(Woo!)
Yeah, know we’ll turn heads forever
So tonight I’m gonna show you off

When I’m walkin’ with you
I watch the whole room change (I watch the whole room change)
Baby, that’s what you do (Baby, that’s what you do)
No my baby don’t play (No!)
Blame it on my confidence
Oh, blame it on your measurements

Out here drippin’ in finesse
You know it, you know it
We out here drippin’ in finesse
It don’t make no sense
Out here drippin’ in finesse
You know it, you know it

Now slow it down for me baby
‘Cause I love the way it feels when we grind (When we grind)
Yeah, our connection’s so magnetic on the floor
Nothing can stop us tonight

When I’m walkin’ with you
I watch the whole room change (I watch the whole room change)
Baby, that’s what you do (Baby, that’s what you do)
No my baby don’t play (No!)
Blame it on my confidence
Oh, blame it on your measurements
Shut that shit down on sight
That’s right

We out here drippin’ in finesse
It don’t make no sense
Out here drippin’ in finesse
You know it, you know it
We out here drippin’ in finesse
It don’t make no sense
Out here drippin’ in finesse
You know it, you know it

Fellas grab your ladies if your lady fine
Tell her she the one, she the one for life
Ladies grab your fellas and let’s do this right
If you’re on me like me in mind

If you’re on one like me in mind
