The song is a personal flex that doubles as a public service announcement. It's a question of knowing what you deserve, of walking in your power and resisting any impulse to make yourself smaller for anyone else's comfort. Without directly quoting the lyrics, it's evident that Molly has something to say, and she says it with her chest out. Her cadence, flow, and wits are all very of-the-moment for rap, but they create her space in the crowded and often musically conservative hip-hop world.
Anchored by trap snare beats, deep bass, and a catchy hook, "FAB" is a banger that enters the room before you do. It's confident and stylish but not trying too hard. Vocalist Molly Water's delivery is a deft balancing act tamely assertive, with enough of a bouncy glide for street-savvy dance appeal, on a dime club-ready. "FAB" is also a well-produced cut. The beat carries her, giving her room to drive her message home. The result was clean and edgy, slick enough for mainstream sounding but raw sufficient for those who wanted something unvarnished.
The most apparent thing about "FAB" is the energy. It's all about the power of owning your identity and making sure the world hears it loud and clear. Whether you're playing it through your headphones for a private jolt of confidence or letting that banger tear through the speakers at the club, Molly Water is streaming forth. Amid a music environment cluttered with copy-and-paste sounds, "FAB" stands out by being unapologetically original. If this single is a mere forewarning, not only is Molly Water going for hits, but she's also looking to leave a legacy.
