With “Comme d’hab,” Cherki drifts into a trance-like state that feels hypnotic and heartbreakingly grounded. The track pulses with repetition and restraint, inviting you into a world where emotions loop like a late-night metro ride, cyclical, familiar, and quietly profound. It’s the sound of someone navigating chaos by leaning into a routine, head nodding in time with survival.
Produced with a muted intensity, the soundscape leans into moody synths, blurry textures, and minimal percussion. Cherki’s vocal delivery carries the weight of lived-in fatigue, yet floats just above it, keeping one foot in detachment and the other in vulnerability.
Underneath the nonchalance lies quiet desperation, the kind that festers in solitude and speaks loudest in silence. Cherki captures the tension of trying to stay afloat while everything inside threatens to sink. The repetition of motion “comme d’hab” becomes a shield, a rhythm to outpace collapse.
With “Comme d’hab,” Cherki offers a snapshot of how it feels to spin in place just to avoid breaking. It’s minimalism with meaning, soft-spoken but cutting, and a haunting reminder that sometimes the smallest gestures, like nodding your head, carry the most weight.
