Kalan.FrFr is great at balancing tough beats with vibrant melody, something he already proved earlier this year with the track "Go Girl!" As if we needed more proof – and we're glad we got it – he just dropped another single called "Hadju" that is just as colorfully balanced.
Most importantly here, there's a lot of flange effect on many vocal samples, synths, and other melodic elements on here. It lends a vintage feel to the instrumentation and a hypnotizing effect, but other parts of the song ground it. The West Coast bounce from the Southern California native is rugged and gratifying, and there are a few flow speed-ups and slow-downs on here that provide some dynamism.
Lyrically, the Lucky Her MC lusts for a prospective partner in a pretty blunt way. That comes across in how longing the synths can feel, but it's a pretty straightforward and simple jam at the end of the day. While there's a lot of empty space on here, it's also a pretty sensual decision that creates tension throughout.
Of course, if you're looking for something a but more upbeat, Kalan.FrFr has you covered. He released a couple of bangers in recent months, such as "Dice Game" and the "Everybody (Remix)" posse cut. We'll see what the next step is, whether that's another single or a full-length project at some point in 2025. Either way, we'll be here happily waiting for the next drop. At this rate, there's little reason to expect less than a bop.
Kalan.FrFr – "Hadju"
Quotable Lyrics
If I had the lo', it'd be roses at the front door,
If I had the lo', I'd pull the Rolls up to the front door,
If I had you, I would have movie on, it's up for,
Long as it take for you to nut for, it's all for you
