In a world that’s rapidly evolving and throwing curveballs at every turn, the invigorating new track 90’s Anxiety by Ava like Lava and Imanemun emerges as a beacon of solace, wrapping listeners in a cocoon of nostalgia while simultaneously exploring the intricate complexities of modern living.
Unfurling a tapestry of old-school hip-hop and R&B, this bilingual fusion song is like a love letter penned to the ’90s, steeped in an undertone of contemporary concerns. It’s the smooth and soulful vocals of Ava like Lava, harmonising with Imanemun’s nimble, rapid-fire Persian rap, that steal the show. Their synergy creates a magnetic atmosphere, drawing you into their world, one verse at a time.
90’s Anxiety captures the collective disillusionment of the generation raised in the ’90s, now standing on the precipice of adulthood, facing a world in flux. The lyrics tread a path less travelled, delving into poignant discussions about mental health, identity, culture, technology, climate issues, collective consciousness, and societal vices.
The song isn’t just a critique of the present but a heartfelt homage to the culture of the ’90s. It’s a melange of references, from taking tequila shots and experimenting with 2C – a psychedelic drug, to the iconic horror movie, The Hill’s Got Eyes. Such elements are not merely nostalgic touches but underline the gritty realities of their youthful past.
The instrumentals forge a soundscape that vividly captures the pulse of teenage angst unique to the ’90s. A languid mid-tempo beat marries with synth pads, evocative guitar riffs, and vocal samples to create a track that’s equal parts angst-ridden and soothing.
90’s Anxiety is more than just a song; it’s a zeitgeist encapsulated in a musical narrative. It resonates with anyone feeling adrift in this bewildering modern world, comforting and empowering them with shared roots and memories.
