From the recording Killer
A beautiful R&Be/Electronic slow burner that begins with majestic strings and orchestral tones until Jenoir’s arresting vocal kicks in. “Shoot me down” she sings as you get entranced into the emotions of this story. Morfin responds to Jenoir lifting the story and tension. The beat drops and the emotion and melody is just brilliant. Such a sexy groove. Jenoir laments about how someone holds this power over her and the song directly compliments her lyrics as it transitions back into strings. Jenoir and Morfin then layer their vocals over each other in a wonderful crescendo doing a duet about how the feelings that overcome us when we cannot resist someone. This was a story of a person who can just keep you coming back to them despite your resistance and the term shoot me down can be seen as the effect of their power, like a bullet. Morfin’s production is again stellar. This orchestral bass beat shows that he has no boundaries and favours emotional and melodic music. Prepare to go on a journey.
Lyrics
Shoot Me down, (down, down, down, down, down, down)
Close your eyes
I see the darkness in your eyes
Killer, but I'm dying here without you though
Burning up I see you through the smoke
I hear the beat and it makes me go
Ooohhh, oooohh yeah, oooohh yeah, oooohh yeah
I can feel you watching me, I feel your heartbeat, steady
You're Ice cold, I tried to lock you out but you
had the code.
I can feel you watching me, I feel your heartbeat, steady
You're Ice cold, I tried to lock you out but you
had the code.
I can feel you watching me, I feel your heartbeat, steady
You're Ice cold, I tried to lock you out but you
had the code.
I can feel you watching me, I feel your heartbeat, steady
You're Ice cold, I tried to lock you out but you
had the code.
Down,
Down,
Down,
Down,
Shoot Me down, (down, down, down, down, down, down)
Close your eyes
I see the darkness in your eyes
