Who? (Ah Vi) (feat. Naomi G)

Eve Alai x Naomi G

Singapore electronic producer Eve Alai links up with dark pop songstress Naomi G on a crossover track about the dark side of losing ourselves in the new digital age. ‘Who? (Ah Vi)’ is what you get when house music collides with the brooding, more ethereal end of pop music.

A confident attempt to flood the virtual clubs with smoke-and-lasers treatment, the thumping pop banger touches on controversial topics that don’t normally permeate contemporary dance music. “Although the song deals with something dark, it holds the positive message of breaking out of technology addiction in order to explore one’s full potential mentally, spiritually, physically and emotionally,” Eve Alai explains.

As expected, Naomi’s vocals stand out on this propulsive track, losing herself in the digital sheen while reclaiming her agency to speak out about the things that matter to her. “Also, Naomi’s voice isn’t the usual type of voice you hear on a dance record,” Eve Alai adds. “I am happy to be pushing the envelope in terms of my sonic palette.”

[Verse 1]
Codes and lines are all
The things that we see
Hear and believe
Trapped in a fantasy
They leave us blind
With no place to hide

[Pre-chorus]
I can’t fight the feeling that there’s
Something more to see
Yeah they can live in paradise, but
Who are we?
I look up at the stars and wonder
Where I’m meant to be
I can’t help but think out loud
Who are we?
Who are we?

[Verse 2]
Wake up, hustle, go back to sleep
Sometimes I don’t have time to eat
It’s that stuck in bed feeling
That I’m done with dealing
When did we go wrong
Playing the same old song
Da da da da du da!
