On ‘If You’re Asking (I’m Offering)’, New York artist Raia Was explores the thrilling uncertainty of new love over evocative art pop production.
Her smoky vocals expertly capture a push-and-pull dynamic, with tentative yearning giving way to bold desire. Sparse beats and moody atmospherics help assert her own intimate perspective.
Lyrically concise yet emotionally complex, she revels in those charged moments of possibility. With its slow-burning intimacy and textured electronic arrangements, the track has a cinematic allure.
Was keeps it accessible through infectious melodic hooks. ‘If You’re Asking (I’m Offering)’ illustrates a gift for wringing poignancy from life’s defining moments. It lingers long after the final notes fade.
