Track: I Fell For A Bad Girl
Artist: Aikya Balan
Genre: Electronic Funk
Label: Tric-Jam, Studio60 Records
Written by: Aikya Balan
Produced by: DrewWB
Length: 4:00
“I Fell For A Bad Girl” is a single written and recorded by Indian-American singer Aikya Ishani Balan. After releasing almost a dozen singles and scrapping her debut album due to personal conflict, with “I Fell For A Bad Girl”, Balan is finally preparing to release a full studio album, the new single serving as it’s lead. Produced by DrewWB, the song is an entirely different sound for Balan. Formerly known for releasing abstract glitch-hop music full of operatic falsettos and sultry whispers, Aikya takes her roots in electronica and pushes them into a soulful territory. This new artist who’s been crawling out of her shell of shallow lust since her hit song, “Something Like That”, breathes new life into Aikya, pushing her to a boundary we never thought we'd see the "DEVOURED" singer anywhere near: Love.
On the surface, "I Fell For A Bad Girl" is a quiet, murmuring song, something that could artfully bleed into the background if you needed it to but at second glance, it's a loud declaration of love, one that marks not only an important milestone in the unorthodox relationship, but also in Balan's life. From the very beginning, Aikya already sounds like a different person, her soft voice is only vaguely famliar, and it's only after explaining that falling in love was only something she could do unintentionally and under the impression there was nothing more to feel do we catch a glimpse of our old friend as we knew her. But before we could enjoy it, she takes those familiar spirits and sends them in wildly unfamiliar directions, a flood of instruments interrupting the first half of the verse, and from there she floats around the track like a kite wrenching in the wind, complaining yet admiring how the sudden gust of love sent her flying. In the sculpted production of warm, textured sounds, Aikya's soft breathy vocals seem lost in it all, almost as if the music is the wind and her voice is the kite taking a stand in the contant flux. In the lyrics, she's awed yet confused, making bold statements with a heart that only knows fear. The music pushes with a tempo that moves drowsily and from time Aikya pushes against it, her flow shaping it's own melody, but the highlights of the song are when she works with the dense instrumental and moves with it, the unison in the subtle moments hinting that though her mind, body, and soul are singing different lines, they are all on the same page.
I fell for
Someone who never wanted more
Or at least that’s what she said to make me feel at ease
Nameless girl with endless possibilities
I fell for a Rubik's Cube
Takes a while to figure out, but when you almost do
You’re right back to square one with one wrong move
With a twist and a turn, I’m screwed
(Mm.. mm.. mm)
(Bad bad bad bad bad)
(Mm.. mm.. mm)
Fell for someone different
And that was ‘bout the dumbest thing I ever did
I fell for complications
So when they ask if it’s love, I could say, “it’s complicated”
But now that’s changing, ooh
Wanna get up
But damn, I’m stuck, ooh
‘Cause I fell for a trap
While it all goes to shit, I’ll still be here on her lap
Got it for her bad
I fell for a
Fell for a
I fell for a bad, bad girl
And I fell for the
I fell for the
And I fell for the last, last… time
Ooh
Fell for someone fucked up
So maybe.. I mistook.. a bond for love
What a perfect illusion, compared to what we’ve done
What we do to each other ain't that serious
I fell and that’s a good thing
But what a curse to be head over heels and still think
I know my doubts hold truth if I know anything
When this thing ends, I’ll finally find an ending
Surprise me
I fell for a
Fell for a
I fell for a bad, bad girl
And I fell for the
I fell for the
And I fell for the..
(Very first time)
And I know it’s the last
Yeah, I know this will last
(For the rest of my life)
I’m gonna look back on the past
And be so damn mad
(How I spent my youth)
With everything but you
No wonder I barely made it through
(I fell through)
And I fell, fell, fell, fell, fell, fell, fell for the last time
Ooh!
I fell for a
Fell for a
I fell for a bad, bad, bad, bad girl, ooh
And I fell for the
I fell for the
And I fell for the last, last time
I fell for a (Wanna get up)
Fell for a (But damn, I’m stuck)
I fell for a baaaaad girl
And I fell for the (Ooh)
I fell for the
And I fell for the last, last...
