Buy Two Fingers - That Girl [Single] From Amazon.com

On this single we have two key tracks, one labelled '(Original)' and one labelled 'Featuring Sway (Sway Remix).' It's the second one that seems to be the track that is the track of importance. Wherever this single is mentioned, it's referred to as "Two Fingers Ft Sway" and this is because this is the best song by far, out of the two.

Firstly we'll tackle the original track. A club scene song about a girl who won't necessarily want to have sex with you seems strange at first, although they do justify this opinion by saying that she's "Crazy." They spend the first two minutes of the three and a quarter minute song, discussing how incredibly attractive this girl is and how infatuated they are with her. They build up the typical picture of how she dances well and that she's rich and they also help build the character by telling us that her favourite colour is "Navy Navy" as a result of her always wanting to be in the "Navy Navy." It's these ultra intelligent lyrics that really draw me in to this type of musical emotion and intellectually, the power of these lyrics is amazing! [/sarcasm].

I'm then a little surprised to hear that:

These lyrics then continue to say how, while she may look like your typical skank that you can fill with drink and drugs and then sleep with, this girl is different and she won't let you do what you like to her. Although the fact that she's let you buy her drinks all night, it's the least she can do. It's only polite, after all! The sound of the track, itself, is simple, with a simple drum beat and some tight rhythms. The track is tightly knit without being overcomplicated. It's fine, but nothing special, it's these lyrics that hold the most interest.

We then have the Sway remix, which if you like any kind of drum and bass, will delight you. Sway's dirty dnb style fits the club nature of the original track well and the track steams along like an unstoppable train. The rhythm of this track is infective and I find it impossible to not dance around in my seat. Over this amazing beat, the first two minutes of lyrics are overlaid. These are the boring lyrics about the girl going out partying and drinking and taking drugs. While it all sounds very nice, I would like to see some of the stuff about her "Looking like a hooker but she's always well behaved" and see how they fit that into the remix. The aural-aesthetics of Sway's remix are pretty impressive, and the track as a whole is tight and a delight to listen to, but the lyrics that were chosen don't interest me. The original version is more interesting lyrically, but isn't as nice to listen to.

Depending on where you look, there are more tracks that could be on the single, a radio edit, an instrumental and a remix from High Rankin could be on the books. I haven't heard these, although the radio edit and instrumental are pretty self explanatory.
