![]() STROBE gives you the same kinds of sounds as ALARM, but slows the tempo way down so that you have less of a pussy-popper and more of a sway n’ flow. ![]() To be honest, STROBE is just as strong as ALARM, which is why I’m surprised that it isn’t on the album Queen of Hip-Hop along with its A-Side. I love everything about this- yes, even her Engrish, which, by the way, is great for the entire tone of the song. Something I enjoy in particular about this song is how Namie is able to get your blood boiling without even having to hit a high note. Honestly, it’s a very interesting combination that blends nicely with Namie’s strong and smoky vocals. There’s some wobbling bass and waspy sines paired with the standard drum-and-cymbals combo for the backbeat. There is a lack of any kind of electro beat, however- only the sounds used are reminiscent of electro at all. The beginning starts off with some stacatto notes from something like a synthetic clavichord, and then launches into a electro-influenced hip-hop beat. ![]() This song comes directly out of Namie’s most hip-hop of eras, so that’s the style represented here, and pretty damn well, might I add. This was actually one of the two songs that got me into Namie (the other was Violet Sauce). ALARM – Namie Amuro – ALARM Single/Queen of Hip-hop
