After serving us with her ‘X’ EP’ , 21-year-old Toronto-born singer and songwriter Ebhoni is back with full smoke dropping off her latest offering “Rep It.”
As usual Ebhoni doesn’t disappoint on the impressive new single produced by FrancisGotHeat (Drake, Big Sean & Bryson Tiller). “Rep It” sees the songstress take a shift towards darker, auto-tuned production while still capturing the assuredly frank pop sensibility that sees her more comfortable in her own skin than ever before.
Framing the dissolution of a relationship that never was, her viscerally honest lyrics (“could have been you / would have been you / nice to know you”) are a candid complement to the track that generates an emotional resonance beyond it’s barely two-minute run time. A product of both faded nighttime and the melancholic reflection of the morning after, Ebhoni’s matter-of-fact verses remain in the same harshly ephemeral gleam that highlights her own personal heartbreak into an evocative anecdote that feels both universally relatable and unexpectedly transcendent.
