    LYRICS:
    You know I ain't straight,
    But ima say it straight to you
    And look you in the face
    Every time I talk to you.
    I wanna be clear and not convolute
    I'll say what I mean
    I expect the same from you.
    So you wanna play rough in the parking lot?
    See you actin' tough, but I know you're not.
    We can take it outside scuffle in the streetlight.
    I just really wanna fight with you.
    Man to man
    Hand to hand
    One on one
    Friend to friend.
    Are you man enough to soften up?
    Are you to tough enough to open up?
    Man to man.
    You gotta let me in.
    You gotta be the bigger man.
    You gotta take the higher ground.
    You gotta put your fists away.
    You gotta lay your weapons down.
    So you wanna play rough in the parking lot?
    See you actin' tough, but I know you're not.
    We can take it outside scuffle in the streetlight.
    I just really wanna fight with you.
    Man to man
    Hand to hand
    One on one
    Friend to friend.
    Are you man enough to soften up?
    Are you to tough enough to open up?
    Man to man.
    You gotta let me in.
    (Man to man to man to man, baby. You gotta let me in).
    Don't beat around the bush.
    Don't talk behind my back.
    Quit acting cowardly.
    Don't launch a sneak attack.
    Just step out here in the daylight,
    and we can handle this just right.
    Just take my hand
    and we can settle this man to man.
    (Man to Maaaaaaaaan)
    About Dorian:
    Rising pop star Dorian Electra makes music that defies gender norms. In the past year, their work has gained a queer cult following and led to them being named a must-know talent by Buzzfeed and one of PAPER Magazine's "100 Women Revolutionizing Pop." Not only that, but Electra has also quickly built a dedicated following thanks to their futuristic spin on 00s pop, 80s funk, and a long-standing love of satirizing rigid gender roles and views on sexuality. A frequent Charli XCX collaborator, Electra was featured on the Pop 2 track "Femmebot (feat. Dorian Electra and Mykki Blanco)" alongside Mykki Blanco. They have also played live with XCX at a number of self-curated shows and after parties. Most recently, Electra performed at NYC Pride 2018, toured with British pop sensation Rina Sawayama. Electra's last three singles and music videos, "Career Boy" "VIP" and "Man To Man" have garnered press and playlist spots from Billboard, The Fader, and Buzzfeed among others.
    2019 will see the release of Dorian Electra's debut album and headlining tour.

    The aesthetic is really pleasing, and the fact that the voice of the singer can sound sometimes really high pitched, and let's say feminine, and sometimes really low and ''manly'' is interesting and pleasing too.

    I've always identified as a straight man, and I love that my wife and I can have a conversation about how attractive Dorian Electra is. Got us talking about topics of gender identity and sexual orientation in a way we hadn't overtly discussed before, and we were people who considered ourselves woke. If Dorian and their fans can get us talking about this stuff, they're doing a lot of things right (beyond making awesome songs and videos).

    This entire album is incredible! I went into it going "Well, this isn't my genre, but I wanna see what's going on", and was immediately completely confused. An hour later though, it was all "Daddy liiiiiiiike!"
    This song is particularly powerful to me, as a cis man who has never been a big tough masculine bro. I really love rejections of toxic masculinity, and embracing true strength in manhood, so all of the messaging here is just wonderful to see. Thank you Dorian!

    • @Sadveneco
      @Sadveneco 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      @Anthony Lopez Don't worry, I got you.
      Vibrato (Italian, from past participle of "vibrare", to vibrate) is a musical effect consisting of a regular, pulsating change of pitch. It is used to add expression to vocal and instrumental music. Vibrato is typically characterised in terms of two factors: the amount of pitch variation ("extent of vibrato") and the speed with which the pitch is varied ("rate of vibrato").
      In singing it can occur spontaneously through variations in the larynx. The vibrato of a string instrument and wind instrument is an imitation of that vocal function.
      Dorian used a very sublte vibrato at 2:22 🐐

    This is what I'm trying to do with my singing. Widen my range to the point that I can work with both a "manly" lower range and a "feminine" higher range, which has been a struggle with my soprano voice, but the times I've felt most like myself are when I go from a high belting to gravely low notes. It feels powerful. That's one of the few times I have no doubts in my mind about my gender. I just found your music, but it seems like it might be just what I need. Thanks my fellow enby.

    Don't beat around the bush
    Don't talk behind my back
    Quit acting cowardly
    Don't launch a sneak attack
    Just sit right here in the daylight
    And we can handle the stress alright
    Just take my hand, we can settle this man to man
    Man to man (man to man), hand to hand (hand to hand)
    One on one (one on one), friend to friend (friend to friend)
