Recently, DJ and producer Party Favor links up with Persian/New Zealand artist Chaii on new single and music video Oh Nah Yeah.
Following a triumphant 2020 with the release of her debut visual EP Lightswitch and subsequent single, WOW (Look At Me), which was featured in the latest Apple iPhone 12 ad, Chaii returns more defiant than ever as a unique voice with limitless attitude and ambition. Oh Nah Yeah features a catchy run of melodies where the Kiwi-Persian rapper skips between sung-spoken melodies and chants.
Party Favor lends his dynamic production and genre-bending abilities on Oh Nah Yeah to deliver a visionary tune filled with percussive beats.
Accompanying the release is a kaleidoscopic music video directed by Mikey Rockwell featuring polychromatic looks and mind-altering scenes. Chaii exudes confidence as she commands each stage with her vibrant personality and forward-thinking style.
Chaiimentions about the single, “I really enjoyed working with the talented Party Favor. He’s honestly the best! Bringing our vibe together created such an exciting sound. I wrote 'OH NAH YEAH' about not letting fear rule my life. I had a discussion with my dad one day and what he said really stuck with me. He said don’t ever change your creative work and what you stand for because of fear. I guess I could just make safe music and not have to fear anything. OR I move forward not letting fear shape who I am. I originally started from writing the lyrics about needing to hold your ground. I often catch myself saying sorry for no reason or if I don’t make sense to someone. There’s no need to have to default to an apology for not fitting in any box, being yourself and existing.”
Party Favor adds, “Super excited about this record. Chaii is insanely talented and has a really dope sound, and I really wanted to see how our worlds could collide. She sent me this vocal and immediately I knew we could make something incredible. Her being from Iran & New Zealand, she brings such a fresh sound to her music. This feels like a worldwide record.”
