Ebhoni Drops Patois-Dancehall Infused Single “MIA”
20 year-old Toronto R&B artist Ebhoni returns today with the sensual, dancehall-inflected single, “MIA”. Over a minimal, mood-heavy instrumental, she coos about the thirsty men in her life that she makes “beg like a kid.” Projecting boss-level confidence, “MIA” nods to the pop experimenter who shares the song’s name with a cool reminder that “bad gyals do it well.”
Produced by Alex Lustig (Drake, Gunna, PARTYNEXTDOOR) and Merna, “MIA” is inviting and mellow, warmed by dancehall’s anthemic energy and the neon glow of pop radio signifiers. It’s a fitting canvas for Ebhoni’s self-assured bars. She says the song is full of love for herself and her body, and for others who feel the same. “I had so much fun making ‘MIA’ and I felt super good and empowered showing love to my likkle boobs lol,” she writes. “So, this song is for the bawdest of the bod who embrace and love what they mama gave them!”
