“Pouring Rain” by Bby Shae featuring YAGGA plunges deep into the waves of disappointment and heartache that come when your partner’s just not that into it. Both artists lay bare their pain, but there’s a sliver of hope, a wish that maybe their guys will finally step up and get it together.
Produced by OSVMA, the beat sets a relaxed, laid-back vibe with a swing rhythm that feels intimate and organic. The tight kicks and loose snares, with their hand-triggered-on-a-MIDI-drum-pad feel, mesh perfectly with the soft Fender Rhodes chords and reverb-heavy sax, creating an expansive yet minimalist sound.
Bby Shae‘s hushed, soothing voice brings vulnerability and bittersweet emotions to the forefront. She sings, “Don’t know what you’re in this for / And I am trying to be sure / who could be better for you when / I accept all your flaws.” Her guarded yet heartfelt delivery wraps the listener in her emotional world, reflecting feelings of being sidelined but hopeful for change.
YAGGA‘s rhymes and lines cut through with a clear difference. Her radiant, rhythmic voice shines in lines like, “You told me the day that I met that you were the only guy here with a blick / We were a week in uni we bonded through / Weed and the fact that we dealing with shit.” Her smooth, jazzy flow adds depth to the narrative, addressing betrayal and disappointment with expressiveness and finesse.
Bby Shae and YAGGA paint vivid pictures with their voices, making “Pouring Rain” a lush, textured vibe. Their back-and-forth is a lyrical tango, peeling back the layers of relationship drama with finesse and flair.
