Haffi Win

Description

On their first joint full length Ammoye and Rise Ashen conjure Haffi Win, a futuristic alchemy of dancehall, hip hop, house and dub. Stay tuned for much more info, but for now, you can check out Trouble - their first collaboration released on Balanced. Haffi Win fuses Rise Ashen's powerful urban beats and dramatic melodies with Ammoye's vivid narrative of growing up in Jamaica. The smoothness of Ammoye's voice draws listeners in and the power of her lyrics enchants as she effortlessly sings about life, love and justice. Haffi Win is both smooth and rough, sometimes threatening and always bass. A textured album, Ashen's layering includes not only instruments beats and vocals but the emotions evoked from sirens, soccer games and street violence. Showing vulnerabilities, courage and soul, Haffi Win explores feminine strength and the human desire to manifest ones' self through Ashen's tight beats and Ammoye's ill vocals with the aftertaste of the island.
