Known for her unapologetic lyricism and versatility, the Tel – Aviv, Israel-based artist MAIYANAI brings another brutally honest, contrasting single “Fine” tackles self-worth. Inspired by the moments that we seem to mumble on “I’m fine,” but deep down, we know how exhausted we are, “Fine” speaks directly to that experience and offers a moment of goofiness and fun, reclaiming your power with an anthemic statement.
The captivating chorus takes you further down the road of self-exploration, “Fine” swirls between funk, rock, and hip hop in a smooth, groovy vibe. Kaleidoscopic soundscape you could never get bored of. MAIYANAI has a laid-back, unique, flavorful voice that catches your attention instantly. She has no trouble being sweet, mellow, jazzy, or dark, always surprises you with her various sides.
Celebrating who you truly are and dancing the pain away is the spirit of “Fine.” From the center of its being, the song embraces its true self in the current stage with no excuse or explanation. In a sense, MAIYANAI’s lyrics feel almost cathartic and raw, carving the deepest thoughts and feelings into the sound wall.
