"She" is a song by American hip hop artist and OFWGKTA member Tyler, The Creator from his album ''Goblin''. It was released May 10, 2011 as the third single from the album. It features another OFWGKTA member Frank Ocean, and serves as his debut single as an artist. The song was written by both Tyler and Ocean, with the production handled by Tyler. The song is written from the perspective of an obsessive lover who stalks and watches a woman while she sleeps. Lyrically, the song explored dark themes of necrophilia, stalking and obsession. The song received positive reviews from critics who praised Ocean's hook, though the subject matter was often noted as questionable in nature and content. A music video for the single was released June 3, 2011 on the OFWGKTA YouTube channel. It was directed by Tyler himself and features Ocean. The video contains black humor and was noted for approaching its subject matter in a satirical, tongue-in-cheek manner. Both Tyler and Ocean would often perform the song together during their various tours and was notably performed at the April 2011 Coachella Musical Festival. ==Production and composition== Rapper Tyler, the Creator, who is often known for his controversial nature, and R&B singer and occasional rapper Frank Ocean, who joined hip-hop collective Odd Future, had quickly bonded and became friends, collaborating on several tracks such as "Analog 2", "Window" and "She." Ocean appears on the track "She" providing a rapping verse, and the hook, while Tyler raps and covers the production. "She" has been described as "the closest thing to a slow jam on ''Goblin'', where "Tyler genuinely wrestles with lust." The song features Tyler, the Creator pining "for a gorgeous girl" while "crooner Frank Ocean chimes in with a vocal hook".〔 The track is "delivered with sweetly juvenile expressions of desire, except that Tyler peppers the track with a single-word epithet that would earn him a kick in the groin from any self-respecting woman."〔 HipHopDX's Sean Ryon mused that "even the more subdued songs like "She" with Frank Ocean" embody "Tyler’s middle-fingers-up attitude, as he twists perverted tales of stalking girls and “stabbing Bruno Mars in his goddamn esophagus” into anathematic odes to unbridled individualism." Though it was noted that even "She" has "passing moments of lyrical humanity to go with the pliant music ("When I'm with my friends I just put on a front / But in the back of my top I'm writing songs about 'we'"). It's almost like there's boyish innocence lurking underneath all that bile." ''The Village Voice''s Eric Harvey mused that the "sinuous Frank Ocean feature "She" ramps up the voyeurism" and noted that he "keeps things within a Rear Window framework. He admits he's going through the dating motions strictly to get laid, but he also says that his violent front is just a show for his boys." The song was featured on Tyler's second studio album titled ''Goblin'',〔 in which "She" was released as the fourth single from that album.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「She (Tyler, the Creator song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
