FAVE has amplified the intimacy of her voice on her new single, Intentions, a collaboration with the vocal collective Urban Chords. The track is a hauntingly beautiful soundscape that sits at the intersection of R&B and Afro-fusion, but which leans heavily into the spiritual and vulnerable side of her artistry.
Unconventional Sound and Emotional Depth
The structure of Intentions is highly unconventional for the current market, relying heavily on vocal layering from Urban Chords rather than a heavy drum beat to drive the emotion. This creates a hauntingly beautiful sound.
The song explores the fragility of trust and the clarity of purpose in a relationship. FAVE’s delivery strips away her usual cool-girl persona to reveal raw vulnerability. When the Urban Chords enter, they don’t just back her up—they envelop her.
The harmonies are lush and gospel-tinged, adding a weight to the lyrics that a standard instrumental couldn’t achieve. It feels like a confession set to music, with the choir acting as the witness.
Intentions is a bold artistic risk in a market dominated by high-tempo dance tracks. It demands patience from the listener, asking them to sit with the feelings it evokes. This release highlights FAVE’s continued growth as a songwriter and a vocalist who isn’t afraid to experiment with texture and mood. It is clearly positioned as a track for quiet moments alone and late-night overthinking, rather than for the club.
