TIHANE’s new single, “Ain’t That A B!tch,” is an electrifying blend of soul, future bounce, and electronic innovation, wrapped in an unapologetic exploration of heartbreak. The track is the first release from her upcoming debut album, The War On Love, and sets the stage for what promises to be a groundbreaking project. Rooted in personal experience and cultural influences, “Ain’t That A B!tch” is not just a song – it’s a statement. TIHANE takes a moment of vulnerability and transforms it into a genre-defying anthem that resonates on a deeply human level.
The story behind the track is as compelling as the music itself. TIHANE wrote the song in the raw, emotional aftermath of a breakup, capturing the melody in a voice memo on a street corner in Los Angeles. That impromptu moment evolved into a layered, dynamic piece crafted alongside co-producer Segnon. Drawing inspiration from soul greats like Al Green and modern innovators like KAYTRANADA, the production blends vintage samples, indigenous percussion, and funky basslines to create a soundscape that’s simultaneously nostalgic and cutting-edge. The result is a track that moves seamlessly between heartache and empowerment, mirroring the complex emotions that come with letting go of love.
Lyrically, “Ain’t That A B!tch” is as honest as it gets. Lyrics like, “I was saying it’s you, you was pointing at me, that’s how twin flame mirror type shit be,” delve into the messy realities of relationships without sugarcoating the pain or oversimplifying the narrative. TIHANE acknowledges the emotional grey areas of love, offering listeners a chance to reflect on their own experiences. The hook, “Ain’t that a bitch about love,” is equal parts frustration and acceptance, encapsulating the universal truth that love is as complicated as it is beautiful.
The music video adds a stunning visual dimension to the track. Filmed in a single take in the California canyons, the video shifts from vintage black-and-white tones to vivid, surreal colors, symbolising the emotional journey from heartbreak to self-discovery. Choreography by Nadezda Vlasova and cinematography by Tobin Oldach and Joe Provenzano elevate the video into a mesmerising piece of art, perfectly complementing the song’s themes.
TIHANE’s ability to weave her multicultural roots into her artistry is another standout element of “Ain’t That A B!tch.” As a Polynesian-Croatian-American artist, she brings a unique perspective to the music world, blending sounds and stories that transcend borders. This track isn’t just about heartbreak – it’s about resilience, self-awareness, and the power of turning pain into art. With “Ain’t That A B!tch,” TIHANE delivers a bold and unforgettable introduction to her upcoming album, leaving listeners eager to hear what’s next.
