Musik – Jennifer Hudson – Spotlight. “Well I don’t like, living under your spotlight, just because you think I might, find somebody worthy. O I don’t like, living under spotlight, maybe if you treat me right, you wont have to worry…” Selamat weekend semuanya~ Oke, saya menemukan lagu yang bagus untuk memulai weekend kali ini. Dan lagu yang ‘easy-listening‘ ini sepertinya cocok untuk mengiringi kegiatanmu yang menyenangkan~
‘Spotlight‘, merupakan single pertama dari penyanyi pendatang baru Jennifer Hudson. Tau kan siapa Jennifer Hudson? Kalau kamu pernah nonton film ‘Dream Girls‘, maka kamu pasti tahu seorang tokoh bernama ‘Effie White‘, nah, dialah Jennifer Hudson~ Lagu Spotlight ini adalah single pertama dari album debut ‘self-titled‘-nya Jennifer Hudson, ‘Jennifer Hudson‘. Lagu yang berdurasi 4:10 menit ini bergenre ‘R&B‘ dan ‘soul‘, dan dirilis pada tanggal 10 Juni 2008.
Lagu yang ditulis oleh Ne-Yo dan Stargate ini sukses menjadi 2 nominasi ‘Grammy Award 2009‘ lalu pada ‘Best R&B Song‘ dan ‘Best Female R&B Vocal Performance‘. Ya pantas saja, memang lagu ini keren banget sih~ Hmm, menurut saya, lagu ini menceritakan seorang pacar yang terlalu dikekang oleh kekasihnya. Mau melakukan sesuatu atau pergi ke mana pun harus diawasi. Sehingga, ia memberontak dan mengatakan kalau hidupnya seperti terus disorot ‘spotlight‘.
Seperti yang saya katakan di awal, lagu ini sangat-sangat ‘easy-listening‘. Instrumen musiknya khas genre ‘soul‘, lembut dan enak didengar. Tapi, ‘power‘ pada karakter suara Jennifer Hudson ini merupakan hal yang utama, dan membuat lagu ini lebih menghentak!

“Spotlight”
Are you a man who loves and cherishes and cares for me?
Is that you? Is that you? Is that you? Yeah
Are you a guard in a prison, maximum security?
Is that you? Is that you? Is that you? Yeah
Do we stay home all the time ‘cause you want me to yourself?
Is that you? Is that you? Is that you? Yeah
Or am I locked away out of fear that I’d find someone else
Is that you? Is that you? Yeah
Well, I don’t like living under your spotlight
Just because you think I might find somebody worthy
Oh, I don’t like living under your spotlight
Maybe if you treat me right you won’t have to worry
Is this relationship fulfilling your needs as well as mine?
Is that you? Is that you? Is that you? Yeah
Or is this just my sentence? Am I doing time?
Is that you? Is that you? Is that you? Yeah
If this is love, real, real love, then I’m staying, no doubt
Is that you? Is that you? Is that you? Yeah
But if I’m just love’s prisoner then I’m busting out
Is that you? Is that you? Yeah
Well, I don’t like living under your spotlight
Just because you think I might find somebody worthy
Oh, I don’t like living under your spotlight
Maybe if you treat me right you won’t have to worry
Oh, you ought to be ashamed of yourself
What the hell do you think you’re doing
Loving me, loving me so wrong!
Baby, all I do is try
To show you that you’re my
One and only guy
No matter who may come along
Open your eyes, ‘cause baby I don’t lie
Hey ‘cause I don’t like living under your spotlight
Just because you think I might find somebody worthy
No, I don’t like living under your spotlight
Maybe if you treat me right you won’t have to worry
I don’t like
Semoga weekend-mu menyenangkan~
Salam – Agung Rangga
