Inspired by greats like Lauryn Hill and Aretha Franklin, Shillong-based singer, songwriter and rapper Meba Ofilia took her time releasing Untitled.shg. After her breakout single “Done Talking” with Big Ri dropped in 2018, she spent the next four years stealing the scene in featured spots with fellow Indian hip-hop stars like Raja Kumari before this first LP arrived. But it was worth the wait as the record is an introspective and questioning labour of love. Highlights include the title track’s smoky hip-hop vibe, the catchy R&B-meets-pop licks on “Do You Care?” and the hushed gospel-inflected charm of “Jaded”.
