Bold Beats And Raw Honesty

TIHANE’s “Ain’t That A B!tch” is not your typical breakup song. With this track, she rewrites the rules, ditching the usual melancholy for a sound that’s fresh, layered and surprisingly uplifting. From her Polynesian and Croatian roots to her Los Angeles base, TIHANE’s identity shines through, blending soulful vocals with a beat that pulls from future bounce, R&B and electronic influences. Her music feels like an exploration of heartbreak, but with a twist – it’s about self-awareness and resilience just as much as it is about loss.

TIHANE doesn’t hold back lyrically. She takes listeners into the emotional whirlwind of a breakup with striking honesty, singing “I don’t even blame you for making me cry, but I played us both out with my trying.” The lyrics capture the complexity of love lost without falling into blame, instead embracing the duality and self-reflection that come with letting go. The hook, “Ain’t that a b!tch about love”, hits with a relatable sting, drawing listeners into TIHANE’s raw but empowered perspective. Her ability to articulate this emotional grey area – where heartbreak meets acceptance – makes the song feel both intimate and universal.

The production, a collaboration with Segnon, is just as captivating as the lyrics. Deep, earthy drums contrast with electronic rhythms, giving the track a rich texture that invites repeated listens. The accompanying music video, a one-take visual shot in California’s canyons, moves from black and white to colour, symbolising a shift from heartache to growth. It’s a perfect match for the song, adding another layer to TIHANE’s story. “Ain’t That A B!tch” is a glimpse into TIHANE’s upcoming album, The War On Love, and sets her up as a unique voice in the genre-bending space between soul, electronic and emotional storytelling.
