Introduced by wholesome orchestral strings, ‘Found Me’ gives away its poignant character from the get-go, then develops into a nuanced, elegant and luscious hip-hop production that’s a joy to listen to. Guided by the stunning vocals of Australian songstress Shira, the record emerges from the collaboration with keen rapper and sonic wizard 4yrab. Both laying vocals on the track, the two creatives appear to have landed on common fertile artistic ground, penning a soothing, meaningful gem packed with soulful, classy attitude.
Born out of a shared songwriting session, ‘Found Me’ is a deeply reflective and personal piece; Shira and 4yrab weren’t looking for a proven formula or some sort of viral moment, instead focusing on delivering a message that was firstly conceived through an honest conversation. As Shira explains: “With an instant writing chemistry and curiosity about each other, the dialogue swiftly entered the realm of spirituality, faith, healing, our experiences with darkness, our evolving beliefs and aspirations.”
The final result stands tall as a slice of evocative and poised goodness, with Shira showcasing once again her timeless nature and the hypnotising energy carried by her vocal tone. 4yrab lays hopeful and catchy bars, sparking a nice contrast with Shira’s sultrier and gloss-coated lyricism. Overall, a wonderful record, one that confirms the blessed artistic stature of both Aussie talents.
