‘new music: brooklynite moxiie stands up for herself in experimental r&b track ‘fvrs’

May 27, 2016

Today’s first feature comes from Brooklyn-born Haitian-American singer/songwriter, Moxiie. We’ve featured this R&B goddess a few times, so I’m excited to share her latest single ‘FVRS’ (pronounced ‘Favors’) with you guys today. ‘FVRS’ is a heady arrangement of R&B and ambience that was produced by Fredro “Fredrik” Odesjo which Moxiie uses to explore the concept of protecting one’s autonomy. “It’s about owning what I want and who I am, good and bad,” the singer tells Nylon. “I’m telling this guy not to try to mold me or project some fantasy of a ‘perfect girl’ onto me. It’s very ‘it is what it is.’”
