Geminis: can’t belief ’em. Or so HAWA posits on “Gemini,” the lead single of her upcoming debut Hadja Bangoura, which finds her annoyed by an elusive however irresistible lover. The 22-year-old singer first made a reputation as a classical composer, however on her luxurious 2020 EP the One, she paired R&B, rap, and Afrobeats with lustful lyrics about sapphic relationships. “Gemini” introduces a darker, deconstructed entice sound that underlines HAWA’s exasperation at a lover’s wishy-washy angle in direction of their relationship (“I do know you prefer to fuck round/That ain’t onerous to see”), whilst she admits her personal position within the poisonous dynamic (“Second she will get over me/I’m proper again on it”). HAWA’s muffled supply permits the heavy, flickering instrumental to take middle stage. However her anguished, repeated cry—“What would you like from me?”—comes by loud and clear, telling a cautionary story about defining your self by one other’s needs.
