“Like a little slut / Rough me up / You can tell I’m down to…” Hell yeah! On his 2024 debut single, “DTF”, HNTR ALLN (Hunter Allen) comes out swinging. Rather, he comes out sexing… or willing to 😈! There is no hiding in the closet – the door is ajar, baby! THAT IS THE WAY THAT IT SHOULD BE 🏳️‍🌈. Allen is bold with his sexuality. After growing up in a conservative, Christian household, he’s broken free from myopic views and restrictions and embraced queerness.  “DTF” is sex-positive to the nth degree. The desire and lust are ‘turned TF up’. A prime example: “Hugging you is like a poppers hit / Chemical the way I want your dick, daddy.”  Poppers and dick? That’s so gay 🏳️‍🌈 😈.

The lyrics are brutally honest, and that’s the biggest selling point of “DTF.” Backtracking before the poppers and D, “How’s it going? Fuck, you’re crazy hot / Took your shirt off for a dollar off baby.” That is a deal, HNTR! After getting him to show off his banging body, he raises the temperature: “I can tell you’re really into me / Staring at me like a piece of meat eat me / Wanna taste the sugar / Dripping from your dirty tongue.” Hot, hot, fucking hot 🥵 😮‍💨 😈! HNTR paints a vivid portrait that leads to the crème de la crème, admitting, “You can tell I’m down to fuck.” Not only are the lyrics ‘fierce,’ Allen sings them like a champ.  He takes a playful approach in this liberating, hyper-sexual banger. His tone is marvelous while his riffs and runs are celestial, even if his mindset is more hellish. The backdrop is ‘fierce’ too. The gay club is alive and well, soundtracked by sharp synths and a dancefloor-ready beat.  From the beginning of “DTF”,  the tone is set and the sluttiness feels damn good. Infectious and naughty, “DTF” is the sugar honey iced tea – the soundtrack to freedom from the ultra-conservative, heteronormative, myopic world.
