Rising R&B singer and songwriter Genia has released new single and video "Toastyyy," featuring Timbaland, and it's a future club fave.
"The track, produced by Jonas Jeberg who also produced 'Nosebleeds' by Doechii, interpolates Timbaland’s immortal and instantly identifiable beat from Aaliyah’s 'Try Again,'" a statement reads. "Once those drums kick in, you know you’re in Timbo’s grip, but Genia runs the game here."
The video is fascinating--a science-themed visual which sees a dude in a labcoat examining the artist.
"Her confident cadence practically flutters and floats through a haze of hypnotic synths as she switches up the flow from one verse to another," they say. "Getting flirty, she teases, 'Baby, won’t you come and make a move?' Cutting right to the chase, the songstress goes on to issue an invitation, 'Can you meet my body on the floor?'"
About the track, Genia commented, “‘Toastyyy' came out of a particular headspace. It wasn’t overthought, it just kind of arrived. It was chasing a feeling, and somehow it all locked into place. It’s warm, a little warped, and lives unapologetically in its own lane.”
