Something is captivating about a song that genuinely knows what it wants to be, and that's precisely what "Lucky" achieves. This new track from Haviah Mighty and her smooth-voiced collaborator Shantel May offers a thoughtful and introspective vibe, blending live instruments with a classic hip-hop rhythm. It follows Haviah's previous energetic songs, such as "Double the Fun" and the catchy "OK!", but here she adopts a more laid-back, textured approach that feels fresh and inviting.
From the moment you press play, "Lucky" greets you with lively piano melodies and a chill beat. With the help of producers John Fellner, KTOE, and Haviah herself, the song has a warm and groovy feel, combining deep bass sounds with subtle drums to create a genuine connection that's hard to replicate. Haviah delivers her verses with her signature coolness, rapping with both confidence and a sense of openness that makes her shine in the Canadian hip-hop scene. Shantel May comes in next, singing with silky smooth vocals that perfectly balance Haviah's edginess. Her soulful voice adds a gentle touch to the song, allowing it to explore the complexities of love. The lyrics delve into a relationship filled with appreciation, but also raise an important question. Do we truly see and understand each other?
There's a mix of emotions at play, gratitude mingled with uncertainty, confidence touched by longing. "Lucky" invites listeners to reflect on self-worth and the value we place on our relationships. It works to be thoughtful without being heavy, catchy without feeling shallow.
