Ha Vay: “Huntress”

Tracks
Written By Michael Gutierrez

A breathy pop ambler. Ha Vay returns with a full-length LP Baby I’m The Wolf. Our highlighted track “Huntress” is a satisfying verse, chorus, verse plum with a descending bass line that descends until there is no more descent to descend to. The singer cosplays the role of emotional predator because why the hell not? The album is available, or was available, via Urban Outfitters, of all joints.

Stream, share, buy to your heart’s content.
