In Kai Azana‘s “Over and Over,” she pours her heart into the song, blending feelings of heartache and resilience with the soulful rhythms of contemporary R&B. Her lyrics full of depth and her voice brimming with emotion, Azana addresses the hurdles in a troubled love, mirroring the journey of those who’ve loved, been hurt, and dared to love again.
The song takes its initial cue from the soulful tracks of the 70s, with the inviting tones of an electric piano and the Moog synthesizer forming the musical backdrop for Kai‘s serenading. In one poignant moment, she confesses, “I know that we’ve had our ups and downs; we’ve been making this hard for a while,” her voice carrying a mix of regret and longing. The young singer’s sincerity in sharing this personal story resonates deeply with listeners. Her chorus, “I’d do it over and over again,” straightforwardly expresses her willingness to weather the emotional storms of love, capturing the delicate balance between love’s refuge and battlefield. Lines like “I’ve fallen way too deep in. Oh no, I can’t pretend. No, I won’t pretend,” reveal a raw and unguarded acknowledgment of vulnerability, delivered with soulful clarity by Azana.
This track knows how to set the mood in terms of the music with crisp drum samples and a jazz-funk dipped synth-bass leading the way. It cruises along at a more relaxed tempo while benefiting from the richness of layered keyboards. It’s a sound that’s both familiar and uniquely its own, showcasing Kai Azana’s special touch. Her raspy soprano voice, dripping with soul, takes us through the emotional journey of the song as though we’re being piloted by a seasoned vet in the game. Azana fully immerses herself in the music, making every word a genuine piece of her own story.
