โLike a little slut / Rough me up / You can tell Iโm down to…โ Hell yeah! On his 2024 debut single, โDTFโ, HNTR ALLN (Hunter Allen) comes out swinging. Rather, he comes out sexingโฆ or willing to ๐! There is no hiding in the closet โ the door is ajar, baby! THAT IS THE WAY THAT IT SHOULD BE ๐ณ๏ธโ๐. Allen is bold with his sexuality. After growing up in a conservative, Christian household, heโs broken free from myopic views and restrictions and embraced queerness. ย โDTFโ is sex-positive to the nth degree. The desire and lust are โturned TF upโ. A prime example: โHugging you is like a poppers hit / Chemical the way I want your dick, daddy.โ ย Poppers and dick? Thatโs so gay ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ ๐.
The lyrics are brutally honest, and thatโs the biggest selling point of โDTF.โ Backtracking before the poppers and D, โHowโs it going? Fuck, youโre crazy hot / Took your shirt off for a dollar off baby.โ That is a deal, HNTR! After getting him to show off his banging body, he raises the temperature: โI can tell youโre really into me / Staring at me like a piece of meat eat me / Wanna taste the sugar / Dripping from your dirty tongue.โ Hot, hot, fucking hot ๐ฅต ๐ฎโ๐จ ๐! HNTR paints a vivid portrait that leads to the crรจme de la crรจme, admitting, โYou can tell Iโm down to fuck.โ Not only are the lyrics โfierce,โ Allen sings them like a champ.ย 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 โfierceโ too. The gay club is alive and well, soundtracked by sharp synths and a dancefloor-ready beat. ย From the beginning of โDTFโ, ย the tone is set and the sluttiness feels damn good. Infectious and naughty, โDTFโ is the sugar honey iced tea โ the soundtrack to freedom from the ultra-conservative, heteronormative, myopic world.
