Kardashians are cowering right now.

卡戴珊姐妹現在正畏畏縮縮。

Hmm, interesting.

It's like using the- the b2 chord as the pivot chord.

這就好比用 b2 和絃作為樞軸和絃。

God, the vocal harmonies are so thick.

天啊，和聲是如此厚重。

Mm.

嗯 Mm.

Dance break?

I like how they brought back the talking, like the kind of rap thing at the end.

我喜歡他們恢復了說話的方式，比如結尾的那種說唱。

Yeah.

是啊

Yeah, that's like close harmony.

是啊，這就像親密的和諧。

Did you hear that?

你聽到了嗎？

Ooh, some of their vocal harmony there is really cool.

哦，他們的一些和聲真的很酷。

It's close, the timbre is so similar that it just really sounds like one chord, not like a couple voices at the same time.

很接近，音色非常相似，聽起來就像一個和絃，而不像同時有幾個聲音。

That sounds out to me as like, that probably the most like musically exciting and interesting thing for this.

在我看來，這可能是最令人興奮和有趣的音樂了。

And then the drama vocal fries also stands out like, oh, that's unique.

此外，劇中的聲樂炸子也很突出，就像 "哦，這是獨一無二的"。

All in all, I think it's a pretty good song.

總之，我認為這是一首相當不錯的歌曲。

I don't really know why it's not like resonating with me as much yet.

我真的不知道為什麼它還沒有引起我的共鳴。

Maybe I'm just too full from Thanksgiving dinner.

也許是感恩節晚餐吃得太飽了。

Very beginning and very end were my favorite.

我最喜歡開頭和結尾。

Yeah.

是啊

Ooh, I think I like it when like things sound like atonal or like when you, when there's sounds, but I can't really hear the exact pitch.

哦，我覺得我喜歡無調性的聲音，或者有聲音但我聽不出確切音高的聲音。

The pitch, yeah.

球場，是的。

Yeah, I like that effect a lot.

是的，我很喜歡這種效果。

If you listen to at the end of the song.

如果你在這首歌的結尾聽一聽。

Oh, the sound develops.

哦，聲音發展了。

Yeah, like it's much more clean.

是啊，好像乾淨多了。

What I'm guessing, again, this is speculation on the production methods.

我所猜測的，也是對生產方法的推測。

If you run a sound like a transient through a resonator, but then you can turn it where the harmonics aren't, like you have the harmonics lined up and that'll tend to give you something like kind of like a string pluck or lined up another way.

如果你通過諧振器發出瞬態聲音，但你又能將諧波轉到非諧波的位置，比如讓諧波排成一排，這樣就能發出類似琴絃撥動的聲音，或者以另一種方式排成一排。

It'll give you kind of like a clean, like tuned metal sound.

它會給你一種乾淨的、像金屬調音的聲音。

But if you turn them to like weird, like not clean fractions, you'll get this sort of bizarre, like metallic sound.

但如果你把它們調成奇怪的、不乾淨的分數，你就會得到這種奇怪的、像金屬的聲音。

There's like, it's hard often to even hear what the fundamental is.

就像，很多時候連基本的東西是什麼都聽不出來。

And I'm guessing that's how this is done is running a transient through a resonator that's set someplace weird.

我猜這就是通過一個設置得很奇怪的諧振器來運行瞬態的方法。

And maybe even like, given how some of these sound, the harmonics or partials of a sort are moving contrary to where the note is, it might even be like randomizing or just like resetting where it is each time they do a new note.

也許，鑑於某些音符的諧波或偏音與音符的位置相反，它甚至可以隨機化，或者在每次演奏新音符時重新設置音符的位置。

Future K-pop producer people.

未來的 K-pop 製作人

Hopefully.

但願如此。

How do you feel listening to that song?

聽了這首歌，你有什麼感覺？

It's definitely giving drama.

這絕對是在演戲。

How do you feel like their vocal delivery added to the drama?

你覺得他們的聲音表達如何增加了戲劇性？

It was very like bold.

這很像大膽。

Like they have pretty voices, but there was nothing like wispy or like quiet about what they were doing.

他們的聲音很好聽，但做起事來一點也不飄渺，也不安靜。

Like it was all very much like, let's get down to business, which you can hear, I feel like you could hear in the vocal delivery.

我覺得你可以從聲音的表達中聽出來。

There's this kind of bright, forward feeling.

有一種明亮、向前的感覺。

There's not a lot of like breathy singing.

沒有很多像喘氣一樣的歌聲。

Or just speaking in your chest voice.

或者只是用胸腔的聲音說話。

But so the vocal energy seems pretty high.

但是，這樣的聲音能量似乎很高。

The syncopation in their rapping, it's like really syncopated when they talk about drama and trauma.

他們說唱中的切分音，就像他們談論戲劇和創傷時的切分音一樣。

And there were particular vocalists that stood out to you guys?

有哪些特別的歌手讓你們印象深刻？

I like the black curly haired girl and the blonde girl.

我喜歡黑色捲髮女孩和金髮女孩。

There are two black curly haired girls.

有兩個黑色捲髮女孩。

The one that didn't have a veil.

沒有面紗的那個。

Ningning.

寧寧。

Hers was very pretty and dreamy.

她的作品非常漂亮，充滿夢幻色彩。

And I'd like the power behind the blonde one.

我喜歡金髮女郎背後的力量。

What was her name?

她叫什麼名字？

Her name is Giselle.

她的名字叫吉塞爾。

Giselle?

吉賽爾？

Yeah, also it didn't look hard when they'd sing, which has like another flare of like,

是啊，他們唱歌的時候看起來也不難，這就像另一個閃光點、

I feel like excellence and like, kind of like, yeah.

我覺得自己很優秀，有點像，是的。

When they're like, the one girl, I don't even remember what she said, but she's just like, but it's like literally her face is like, yeah, she's just like, yeah, yeah!

有一個女孩 我都不記得她說了什麼 但她的表情就像 她的臉就像 是的 她就像 是的 是的

Like as if, like half the time I feel like you see like a pop star singing high, and they're like, yeah, high, yeah!

就像有一半的時間，我覺得就像你看到流行歌星唱得很嗨，他們就會說，是啊，很嗨，是啊！

You know, and she's like, yeah, yeah!

你知道，她會說，是啊，是啊！

Like it's so easy.

好像這很容易。

How was that high note at the end?

最後的高音怎麼樣？

Hehehe, that was so good.

嘿嘿，說得太好了。

Where does it rate in aespa high notes?

它在 aespa 高音中的評分是多少？

15 out of 10.

15 分（滿分 10 分）。

I like how the high note like, bled into the ad-lib right after.

我喜歡高音的感覺，就像緊接著的廣告詞一樣。

That was pretty good.

很不錯

I feel like we always talk about the drop off that goes in the last chorus of the song, but actually they put like a little bit of a, they put the drum beat on downbeats, so it's just like the vocals and the drums, and it sounds super cool.

我覺得我們總是在談論歌曲最後副歌部分的降拍，但實際上他們把鼓點放在了降拍上，就像人聲和鼓聲一樣，聽起來超酷。

It's right at two, dun, dun.

就在兩點，咚，咚。

Oh, but then it doesn't, it drops out four.

哦，但後來就沒有了，它掉出了四個。

Mhm.

嗯

And then she tops his head off.

然後，她把他的頭頂了下來。

Yeah.

是啊

It's like, boom!

這就像，咚！

It kind of reminds me, the way that there's like a pretty boomy downbeat, it kind of reminds me of like when you just hear like your heart beating, when you're really excited, and then it completely stopping.

這有點讓我想起，有一種非常低沉的節奏，讓我想起當你聽到自己的心跳時，當你非常興奮時，然後它就完全停止了。

Out of the way, yeah!

讓開

It's like, you stopped breathing.

就好像，你停止了呼吸。

That's really fun.

這真的很有趣。

Were there any like textual or harmonic changes that you thought was an interesting choice?

是否有類似文字或和聲的變化，讓你覺得是個有趣的選擇？

The timbres that they went for were just like kind of the hardest that you can pick.

他們所追求的音色是最難選擇的。

It's very much similar to like the very recent Doja album, like there's ouchies on there, it's got kind of very similar sound, it's that classic like, like yeah f*** you kind of rap sound, it's badass, and when there's like just kind of heavy hitting subwoofers going that don't really do that much complex stuff, and then they're jumping around the beat like very gracefully with their bars,

這張專輯與最近的 Doja 專輯非常相似，裡面有一些 "ouchies"，音效也非常相似，都是那種經典的說唱音效，就像 "Yeah f*** you"（是的，我***你）一樣，很有壞蛋的感覺、

I think that contrast is like, yeah, like you said, that's hard.

我覺得這種對比就像你說的，是的，這很難。

I really appreciate how they varied it, like they don't spam your ears, they know when to cut things out in a way that feels satisfying, and makes the beat drop afterward feel satisfying, which is why I was hogging like the whole time.

我真的很欣賞他們的變化，就像他們不會擾亂你的耳朵一樣，他們知道什麼時候以一種讓人感覺滿意的方式切掉一些東西，並讓之後的節拍落點讓人感覺滿意，這就是為什麼我一直都很喜歡。

It's like it goes back to that whole thing that people say about Beethoven, like he's so good at using silence that like his stuff hits harder.

這就像人們對貝多芬的評價一樣，他善於利用沉默，所以他的作品更有感染力。

There's so much power in the drops, because of that, like they always highlight this vocal fry,

正因為如此，聲音中蘊含著巨大的力量，就像他們總是能突出這種嘶啞的聲音、

DRAMA!

戲劇！

BOOM!

轟！

And you're like, oh!

你會想，哦

Holding onto my seat!

坐穩了

Like this song, it's also memorable, because the hook is crazy, the drama, trauma ma ma ma ma, you know, trauma is a word that I'm just like, ooh, it's like a very hard hitting word, and I feel like maybe they deal with it a little too lightly, like I think drama, you know, we've heard different groups do drama ma ma ma ma, ra ma ma, ra ma ma.

To do the drama ma ma ma, trauma ma ma ma, it feels like the song should be a bit more serious, but it is just kind of a-
