Bad Girl Review; Swat Matire, Shekinah Karen And Fathermoh Team Up For A New Project.

By Brenda Ochwald. Raw, real, and unfiltered, “Bad Girl” is the diss track to end all diss tracks. This upbeat dance-worthy bop features Swat Matire, Shekinah Karen and Fathermoh letting loose and having a heated conversation on how “bad” Shekinah Karen is. According to the lyrics the lady seems to be dating Swat Matire but she has deep feelings for Fathermoh. Swat takes on the first verse accusing Shekinah of cheating on him and lying that she has not man. This upsets both guys. In the chorus Swat and Fathermoh argue with Shekinah as she denies knowing Fathermoh and being a bad girl. The second verse takes twist when Fathermoh tries to ignore Shekinah but she tells him that Swat isn’t her love but the latter is and she’d want to marry him. A mix of gengetone and hip-hop, “Bad Girl” has the catchy hook and beat to make you want to dance. Plus, its empowering and strong lyrics would suit any “I’m over dating drama” playlist. Inspired by modern music, gengetone, so it’s not surprising that Bad Girl give us life and will surely become an instant classic.
