Ghandrx: "Fiji"
Briefly

Ghandrx: "Fiji"
"She didn't click for me until earlier this year, when I heard her reach a flow state over Gloworm's 4XL white tee era trap horns on " Hello Moto." A few months back, I went to a Bushwick bar to see her perform, but showed up too late and only caught one song, which I could barely make out through a wall as a couple tongued each other down next to me. It still sounded pretty cool, though."
"Like her new track, "Fiji," where she captures the glazed, swagged-out cadence of traditional Atlanta melodies-think something like " Butta B"-but chiller. Osyris (and Glumboy) is on the beat, and the ghostly near-ambience with faintly ticking drums and what sounds like little mouth-pops turns the whole track into the kind of mood I would edit over the Phil Collins scene from the Miami Vice pilot if I was tech savvy."
"The music is more of a vibe anyway. I keep on humming it to myself as I go through my day."
Ghandrx is part of a regular listening rotation after first being discovered through Osyris Israel mixes. She did not fully connect until a later time when her flow felt locked in over Gloworm’s 4XL white tee era trap horns on “Hello Moto.” A live performance in Bushwick was missed, but a single song still sounded cool despite being hard to hear through a wall. Her track “Fiji” captures a glazed, swagged-out cadence associated with traditional Atlanta melodies, with a cooler, more relaxed feel. Osyris and Glumboy contribute production featuring ghostly near-ambient textures, faintly ticking drums, and small mouth-pop sounds, creating an edit-worthy mood.
