A rich entanglement of soulful sounds and empowering lyricism. Kaisha, born in Malaysia, is an incredibly talented musician who effortlessly blends notes of jazz and R&B. Her most recent release, ‘Hate U 2’, is a song dedicated to self-progression and the willingness to move on, as hard as that may be. 

Her maturity in song structuring and emotion is prevalent and helps create a beautifully gelled array of instrumentation. Fuzzy guitars and warm synths surround the listener, generating a soundscape that is both nostalgic, yet cutting-edge. Along with the meticulous production, Kaisha’s vocals are as confident as they are lush. She is unattainably in charge. 

Roughly two thirds into the track, we are greeted with a swooning transition that takes a break from drums and welcomes reversed guitar samples and vocal harmonies that are remarkably reminiscent of classic 90s R&B. The track then crescendos into its infectious chorus that is bound to be stuck in my head for a long while. 

Speaking on the track, Kaisha explained:

This is an incredibly well put-together track that truly showcases Kaisha’s talent and potential. She carries a sound that many attempt to replicate, but very few reach this calibre.
