Music and lyrics
Fear is a hip-hop -Song whose mainly by fast snare drums marked Beat also bonds of Dancehall has genre. The song is divided into rapped stanzas and a refrain sung with the help of autotune . In the middle of the song there is also a spoken interlude , in which the beat can only be heard muffled and the artist directs her word to the parties on which it is based. This separates the second and third verse. In terms of content, Loredana deals with her media reception in the piece. She accuses newspapers (including the Bildzeitung , Blickzeitung and 20 Minuten ) and YouTubers of boosting their own sales and click figures through reports about them, taking up events from their lives and making them scandalous. She also addresses allegations that she uses her daughter Hana, whom she repeatedly mentions in her texts, as a "weapon", and stands protectively in front of her father Mozzik . Because of "education and respect" she would never "drag him in the mud".
Music video
The directed by Dominik Braz resulting video clip to fear shows Loredana in front of a video screen showing, among other things, a busy street of a large city, flames, newsprint, and the name of the artist, a car around dancing . In between there are shots in which the musician sings the song in a huge, transparent glass case , while paparazzi around her take photos of her with glaring flashes. Your gestures, such as raising your middle finger at one point, correspond to the text. There are also several scenes in which the interpreter stands in front of a wall of lights or a brick wall while she is surrounded by fire . Another setting in a luxuriously furnished noble restaurant , in which Loredana eats along with other guests.
reception
criticism
After the publication of Angst , the last four lines in the third stanza, in which Loredana comments on her relationship with Mozzik, received a wide response, especially in music magazines, but also beyond. Previously, the two were mainly reported in terms of a war of the roses . The text of the work, in combination with the music video, was seen as a clear statement on how the media dealt with the star; she looks "as exhibited" in the clip. The reviews of the song tended to be positive. It would put the titles of their debut album King Lori clearly in the shade and also confirm the cliché that rappers only make an effort when something is at stake for them. The rapper seems stinky, eaten up and full of energy. In addition, the dancehall beat suitable for their attitude was highlighted.
