There are a plethora of love songs out there right now as it is the month of love. However, upon listening to ‘Imprint’, I have found that it stands out from the pack. From the onset, you are eagerly welcomed by KHAN KHALII’s imapssioned vocals as she sings, “Found your jacket in my your wardobe/Don’t know if i should burn it or send it right back to you”.
The mark of a great storyteller in music is judged by the writers ability to manipulate the emotions of a listener and in that regard, KHAN KHALII hits the nail on the head. What starts out as a heartbreak song that has you sympathising with KHAN, ultimately turns into a song about reconsiling love lost despite the actions that lead them to that point.
Outside of her writing ability, KHAN KHALII displays an ability to tell a story while maintaining the integrity of the song. What I mean by that is that she didn’t sacrifice the playability of the song for an intricate story. In essence, KHAN gives you the best of what R&B has to offer. Listen to the song below.
