On International Non-Binary Day, Sydney-based queer rap artist Jamaica Moana shares empowering new single, ‘GIVE INTO MY FEARS’. A track centered around powerful lyrics, paired with raw, minimalist beats, delivers a message of perseverance for QPOC artists from the West.
‘I claim this song to be the lyrically best song I have ever created. I always wanted to do a track like this. If I was a QPOC artist from The West, I would utilise this as a template on how to never give up and persevere through it all! It gets better. From the fun and playfulness of ‘TUGGAWAR’, I knew the next track needed to be only 2 flows on the verses – the same for verse 2. The overarching message of this song is to obviously never give up. I had to touch base on this because there has been so many people, companies & brands who only care about me during the pride season and then flick me off, entailing the message of ‘give up while you can, you’re only hot during Pride!’. 6 years of this rhetoric can definitely lead you to having the inner conversation of why I’m doing this. My why is for me, my home & my family – no deep explanation because this is enough to forever carry me through.’
