Ofelia K. is a singer whose artistry spins on a luminous axis of voice and soul. Over the past 3 years, we’ve seen her earn three #1’s on Hype Machine’s popular chart (twice as the vocalist of indie-pop duo Wanderhouse, and also alongside EDM producer Felix Cartel for “New Scene,” which Billboard named “one of the best dance recordings of the year in 2013); she’s also opened for nationally touring bands, and has had a number of her songs featured across prime-time television.
Reintroducing Ofelia K.’s voice to the world is “White T-Shirt” (off her highly-anticipated forthcoming solo EP), a compelling song worn down to perfection that balances wistful maturity with a certain earnest and eternally young expression. Not quite pop, not quite anything else, it showcases beautiful symmetry somewhere between an unrepressed journal entry, a comforting arm around the shoulder and her smoky, shimmering glare, her eyes so knowingly staring into you.
Ofelia K: Hawk Fly Tiger Run
Ofelia K: Hawk Fly Tiger Run Lyrics:
I know you’re a part of the ocean.
I watched you tumbling down.
Hands out boy it’s safe in the water.
Remember, you’re lost till you’re found.
Hawk fly, tiger run.
That’s all we should want.
Hunter grab your gun.
What do you want?
What do you want?
I know you’ll take it baby.
I know you’ll listen to me.
Put up your lips sweet baby.
You’ve got a ways to fly.
Hawk fly, tiger run.
What do you want?
I know you’ve been talking to strangers.
So lonely, talking in tounges.
I was hoping the city is hungry.
Stay a while, we’re never too young.
Hawk fly, tiger run.
That’s all we should want.
Hunter grab your gun.
What do you want?
What do you want?
I know you’ll take it baby.
I know you’ll listen to me.
Put up your lips sweet baby.
You’ve got a ways to fly.
Hawk fly, tiger run.
What do you want?
Hawk fly, tiger run.
What do you want?
