OnlyM, Blahza
Malaysian lo-fi producer OnlyM and Asian-American hip-hop artist Blahza have collaborated on a brand new single “Perfect” released via Singapore-based indie label Umami Records. The song envelopes the listener in waves of serene melancholic vibes while it laments the pain and struggles of life and love.
Perfect for crying yourself to sleep to, the emotional rap tune wistfully recalls memories of young love with fondness and newfound wisdom. Blahza said, “This song is inspired by the relationships I had in high school.”
“Love isn’t perfect and leaving a relationship is okay if both of the people in the relationship are getting hurt in the process,” Sometimes it’s actually selfish to stay in a bad relationship.”
“Perfect” marked OnlyM’s first experience collaborating with another artist. According to him, he wrote the melody imagining himself in space.
“I felt like the very emptiness of space was like the emptiness of a person who has been through a lot in their life,” OnlyM said. “Everybody has to go through feeling empty at some point and that inspired me to do the beat. Blahza perfectly elaborated and delivered the emotion and very chill, sad vibe that I was looking for.”
OnlyM and Blahza will be putting out two more tracks together before 2021. The latter will be releasing his LP “Sad Songs For Happy People” over the next 12 months.
Listen to “Perfect” by OnlyM and Blahza everywhere. Check it on Umami Records.
