KANII LINKS WITH WOLFACEJOEYY FOR MENACING NEW SINGLE “HATE ME”
Genre-defying artists Kanii and Wolfacejoeyy join forces for the scorching new single “hate me” via Masked Records/Warner Records. Boasting dark synths, rapid-fire drums, skittering high hats and angelic vocals, the track documents the East Coast pair’s cynical outlook on love. The collaborators also unleash a suitably shadowy music video.
“I was struggling with a horrible relationship, feeling betrayed but still in love with this girl,”Kanii says of the track. “Despite trying to figure a way to fix the issues, I’m always left questioning why this girl continues to hurt me.” That contemplative tone is reflected in the accompanying music video, which finds Kanii and Wolfacejoeyy in NY exuding their magnetic charisma and palpable chemistry.
“hate me” arrives while Kanii is on tour as main support for PinkPantheress and just matter of months after he teamed up with Riovaz and Nimstarr for their joint EP The Heart Racers, which includes synth-centric, throwback creations such as “tell me” and “lost without you.” Prior to that, Kaniidropped the infectious pop tracks“nightcrawler,” “it was nice knowing u,” and “pretty photos.” His momentum first began with the RIAA Gold-certified hit “I Know,” which entered the Billboard Hot 100. To date, Kanii has earned over half a billion global streams.
Kanii’s surging output, starkly different yet equally addictive, makes his ascent inevitable. Now, with “hate me,” he delivers another bold and brazen banger to add to his discography.
