After pressing play on Fih‘s latest joint, you’d never guess that she’s originally from the left side of the map. Making the move from the West Coast over to New York City was a gamble but it now looks like it was all worthwhile. Her newest single, the Say La Nos-produced “Penny 4 Ur Thoughts”, instantly brings back memories of nineties nostalgia.
Listening to Fih’s voice and delivery reminds one of Ladybug Mecca from Digable Planets notoriety. When most female artists these days resort to strong sex appeal tactics, Fih does the exact opposite and brings her lyricism to the forefront. She even utilizes the classic “it’s like that, it’s like this” line into the chorus arrangement. If laid back, vintage sounding Hip Hip is your forte, give this record a spin.
