Keeping things sweet as they come, Yashna and Neo Ndawo just joined forces for a track just bred for your Valentine’s Day playlists. “Chemistry VI” – their sixth “Chemistry” instalment if you can believe it – is packed with just that: an infectiously lovestruck, genre-bridging sound which plucks at the heartstrings in the best of ways.
“You’re all I need and more,” comes Yashna’s lulling hook, as liquid R&B melody glides over the top of the track. Pulsing, weighty synth, and delicate horns back her flighty vocals before Neo Ndawo comes into the drop some clear-cut hip-hop bars.
Packed with romantic nuance and the relationship qualms that come along with it, the song paints a deftly relatable picture of what it is to navigate those early days. An electrifying time filled with the promise of what may come and the fear that comes along with it. It’s vibrant and flirty and keeps things fresh between the two artists after a string of releases.
