Bairi - Ophiuchus (Single)
Successfully seeing accolades & praise from her singles and features, Bairi saw 2021 to be an accomplishing year for her. She released her prominent single “Paraíso” that has been on every eminent outlet and playlist which is promoted daily on social media where you couldn’t go anywhere on the net and not see the risqué cover art to her track that would immediately find you next being serenaded by her ethereal vocals. It’s no surprise that Bairi has been on everyone’s radar to see what more is in store for her, and to keep us not guessing anymore, she recently shared a new single via Audiomack titled “Ophiuchus.” The regal ballad has her becoming the goddess of snake-bearing and healing through this resourceful joint that shows off Bairi’s ability to be such a delight in listening and such a potent artist in believing while seeing vivid pictures painted by her voice.
Speaking on the realism of sacrificing your happiness for someone else’s, Bairi finds that her emotions become an inconvenience to most people she comes across. While she has to fake her joy, not kill the vibe, it’s negatively impacting her psyche. Will you ever know if she’s near the deep end or if her crying out for help? Probably not since she’s masking her feelings, whether it be the tears coming down from her eyes or the unsettling of not being able to have a voice in the conversation. She confides in telling lies to better people’s opinion of her, and the hecatomb she bares plays into healing others' self-confidence while relinquishing hers. She’s turning everyone's pain into hers so she can heal you in the process of taking your grief away and giving it to herself so you can be more potent to make better decisions as you advance. The deepest ballad isn’t always about a happy tale but sometimes of a saddened course of action; in this record, Bairi spellbinds a wicked record that summons a stricken effect of beauty and tragedy in one beautifully sung joint. The visualizer for the record, which is heavily inspired by Drake’s cover art to “Take Care,” has Bairi dressed in a black turtle neck, sitting by a table enjoying a glass of wine while the skyline of the city behind basks in her glow. She completes the image of her posing with these woes in such a raw emotional way that you can understand why many look at her artistry as one of a kind. She’s uniquely driven in this joint, and the viewing does a splendid job showcasing it for a tremendous experience.
This track will do nicely next to Paradiso to hold us over for her next release, which could be the highly anticipated & sought-after release of her visual to the record. She has since shared many moments from the filming of the ballad that has not yet received a release date but has given us an acapella version of the single to continue holding us over. We’re still not in a rush for it since we have this latest release, and no matter what, Bairi, you don’t need to be on a list or prove that you are the best thing out right now. We’re here to tell you that you are and will make sure every one of our viewers knows it all the time.
