Pallaví aka Fijana – Touch Me (feat. Stunnaman02) [Single + Video]

In “Touch Me,” singer/rapper Pallaví aka Fijana and guest emcee Stunnaman02 take us on a nostalgic trip back to the street-soul dipped intersection of R&B and rap, echoing the rhythm and vibe of the early 2000s. The track, crafted by producer Tilden Parc, blends Fijiana‘s so seductive vocals with the sound of hip-hop when Timbaland and Missy Elliot ruled the airwaves. It’s a mix that feels both retro and right now.

Right off the bat, Fijiana‘s chorus hits with a simplicity that’s striking – “Love me, touch me, kiss me, please me.” Her voice is a perfect match for the track’s mood – intimate, yet assertive, it draws you in. In these lines, there’s an honesty, a yearning for affection and for someone to see her truly. And the way the Bay Area songstress repeats these lines does more than just reinforce the message; it sets a rhythm that helps to shape the song’s entire structure. In that same vein, Stunnaman02‘s verses bring in a cool contrast, his rhymes echoing the drive of a young man that’s set to grab Fijiana’s attention. 

The track’s arrangement is slick – with faint whispers in the background contributing to the song’s tempting tone. The dominant drums and the sparse, subtly echoing synth leads give the track a dreamy, late-night feel, while the scattered bass notes add depth and texture. It’s a song that doesn’t try to shout to be heard; instead, it pulls you in with its understated cool. “Touch Me” polishes the beloved hip-hop soul sound to a shine. The chemistry between Fijiana and Stunnaman02 is electric, sparking off each other, lighting up the track with hot-blooded energy.
