CUBANO
americana, dream pop, trip hop, synth-pop. Whispered female vocal in a coloratura contralto range. Soft, breathy, and intimate delivery, avoiding high notes, with subtle vibrato and a cinematic flow, dreamy and hypnotic vocal, gradually build into a powerful, euphoric hook, synth-heavy production with mesmeric textures and a nostalgic, intoxicating feel, prominent crisp snare with bright high-end, pulsating synth bass, youthfully dreamy and sensual energy

Lyrics
verse 1
I should’ve seen it coming a mile away,
Truth sewn inside every silk-threaded lie you’d say.
You’re all Marlboro Reds and southern charm,
Huffin’ smoke rings from your Cuban cigars.
Your touch can burn but that smile makes me yearn
For more blood, more violence, the tar in your lungs.
But I stay in my best nightgown,
On my worst behaviour,
Dancing for men who go looking for trouble.
And boy, there’s nothing more troubling
Than a woman with a broken mind, ill intentions,
And a fucked-up father,
Raising hell just for the thrill of it all, thrill of it all
pre-chorus
Maybe it’s my taste for destruction,
Or your cool, disruptive ways.
The way you played me all night long,
Like a hymn I’d teach you if you stayed.
Long enough to watch me get down and dirty,
In my thrill-seeker’s thong,
Swaying my hips to your favourite song.
chorus
Our love’ s a slow-burner,
Smoke curling ‘ round my neck.
Every kiss a sin I’ ll never regret.
Baby, you’ re a ghost in purple velvet gloves,
Dragging me to hell in the name of love.
And I dive, head first,
Into the ‘ Cause I love, I love how bad it hurts
but i love my man first and foremost
verse 2
This love was forged in fire,
An anomaly to be erased.
But I’ll be vindicated
If I can pull you into my flames.
We’ll slow dance through our sins,
You can snort me like the drug fiend I know that you are, i know that you are
Baby, you’re a star, you’re a fucking star
shirt off, coked out of your mind on an eight-ball,
For you I’d fall head first into the blues, fall head first, head first, baby i love how bad it hurts
chorus
Our love’s a slow-burner,
Smoke curling ‘round my neck.
Every kiss a sin I’ll never regret.
Baby, you’re a ghost in purple velvet gloves,
Dragging me to hell in the name of love.
And I dive, head first,
Into the blues
‘Cause I love, I love how bad it hurts
but i love my man first and foremost
bridge
And who else could I ever love the most,
If not my man?
If anyone can set my world ablaze i know my man can
i love how good he hurts me and he hurts me, he hurts me but he loves me so fucking much
chorus
so fucking much
Our love’ s a slow-burner,
Smoke curling ‘ round my neck.
Every kiss a sin I’ ll never regret.
Baby, you’ re a ghost in purple velvet gloves,
Dragging me to hell in the name of love
soy tu princesa de coca, ningún otro hombre me vuelve tan loca
eres ultra peligroso y te amo muchíssimo, papi eres ultra delicioso when you’ re high as fuck (so high baby you’ re so hot)
i love it when you’re high as fuck, corazón eres mi cubano favorito
Our love’ s a slow-burner,
Smoke curling ‘ round my neck.
Every kiss a sin we will never regret.
we will never regret
Baby, you’ re a ghost in purple velvet gloves,
Dragging me to hell in the name of love
