After releasing the sultry “Fall Back” just over a month ago, 3x Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter is back with single, “We Can.”
Winding around a couple of interludes that sample the late, great Eartha Kitt, Asiahn floats on top of a jazzy instrumental, telling the story of a powerful woman taking control of a relationship. Over swift drum patterns and flutters of flute and sax, Asiahn puts her angelic vocals on full display, sings about taking it slow, and not making it too easy. Asiahn acknowledges that there are good vibes, but makes it clear that this won’t be a one-night stand.
Bouncing between quick one-liners and drawn-out falsettos, Asiahn perfectly places every word into the fast, jazzy instrumental and sews a full range of emotions into the fabric of the song. Different from “Fall Back”, “We Can” is a blend of contemporary song writing and mid-20th century jazz and is a record you can sit back with, light some incense, and let the music take you away.
Asiahn – We Can
[Verse 1]
You can’t play with my emotions ’cause they’re paper-thin
Don’t take me too serious ’cause I won’t let you in
Oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus]
We got a vibe, yeah
I don’t take it light, yeah
Stay with me for the night, yeah
Relax and just get high
Get high off me
[Chorus]
Are you here for love or a season?
Talking all that shit for no reason
You either wanna fuck or you leaving
I could be yours for the weekend
Weekend, weekend
[Post-Chorus]
I bet you thought you’d take my heart and run away with it
But, baby, no-no, no
Don’t got permission to fall in love with me
Unless I tell you so, oh
[Interlude]
Compromise?
What is compromising?
Compromising for what?
Compromising for what reason?
To compromise for what?
To compromise, what is compromise?
Hahahahaha, haha, stupid
Hahaha, haha
You must think about that one again
[Verse 2]
I can’t make this thing too easy, gotta try you out
See if you’re the one you say are without a doubt
Oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus]
We got a vibe, yeah
I don’t take it light, yeah
Stay with me for the night, yeah
Relax and just get high
Get high off me
[Chorus]
Are you here for love or a season?
Talking all that shit for no reason
You either wanna fuck or you leaving
I could be yours for the weekend
Weekend, weekend
[Post-Chorus]
I bet you thought you’d take my heart and run away with it
But, baby, no-no, no
Don’t got permission to fall in love with me
Unless I tell you so, oh
[Outro]
I’m falling in love for the right reasons
Falling in love for the right purpose
Falling in love
When you fall in love
What is there to compromise about?
I fall in love with myself
And I have someone to share it with me
I want someone to share me with me
