An offshoot of the Denmark-based Boom Clap Bachelors massive collective, Quadron is an avant R&B (with an occasional nudge toward folk-soul) duo of multi-instrumentalist/producer Robin Braun (aka Robin Hannibal, also one-half of the duo Owusu & Hannibal) and vocalist Coco O. In 2009, Quadron began issuing their collaborations, led by the off-center mid-'60s soul throwback "Slippin," which was used in the film Se Min Kjole. A little later in the year, outside their homeland, BBC DJ Gilles Peterson was floored enough by the sparse, abstract "Day" to slot the song into the year-end All Winners special of his Worldwide program. Los Angeles' Plug Research label picked up their self-titled album for wide circulation and issued it in March 2010. Braun and Coco were subsequently sought out by numerous artists -- including Leon Ware, the Internet, and Tyler, The Creator -- for collaborations. Their cover of Michael Jackson's "Baby Be Mine" was included on the soundtrack to the 2012 film Think Like a Man. In 2013, Braun made an album with Mike Milosh as Rhye, while Coco was featured on the soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby. That June, they released their second album, Avalanche, on Sylvia Rhone's Epic-associated Vested in Culture label. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
Jeans
Quadron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I got my junkie jeans
She got my baggy jeans
And I don't like tacky jeans
I'm into my own jeans
I'm into my own jeans
You got them 501's
And I got my own jeans
She's wearing hers with class
But she got them up her ass
I'm into my own jeans
I'm into my own jeans
She got them overalls
And keeps wearing them to balls
He got some hammer jeans
He want them by his knees
The song "Jeans" by Quadron is a playful exploration of personal style and fashion, as the lyrics compare and contrast different types of jeans worn by various individuals. The song starts off with the comparison between slimfit jeans and junkie jeans, with the singer expressing a preference for the latter. However, the comparison expands to include other types of jeans, including baggy jeans, tacky jeans, 501's, and overalls. The singer emphasizes their own preference for their own jeans, indicating a sense of individuality in their fashion choices.
The lyrics also touch on issues of class and gender, as the female character is described as wearing her jeans with class, while the male character's desire for hammer jeans worn low on his hips suggests a more stereotypically masculine style. Additionally, the line "she got them up her ass" can be read as a commentary on societal expectations of women's bodies and clothing choices.
Overall, the lyrics of "Jeans" celebrate the diversity of personal style while also acknowledging the societal pressures and expectations surrounding fashion and appearance.
