KA BERRA The dominating rapper combines vulnerability and ferocious self-possession on her new track “Délires d’une Mélomane.” Born on a lush orchestral foundation, the tune glides on a biting clip, exploring the emotional cost of the pretense, of masking pain beneath meticulously constructed façades.
The production is as lush and atmospheric as it is dramatic, leaving the lines, from KA BERRA, in a cinematic setting. A wry, downcast tune, “Faking It” captures the internal struggle to maintain appearances, with strings swarming and percussion cracking like a pulse under pressure. It’s a musically rich, emotionally plush but never suffocating soundtrack, with enough air for each line to breathe.
KA BERRA confesses, meditates, confronts.

The hook strikes with brutal honesty, delivering a precise and powerful impact on everything it touches.
KA BERRA succeeds by trailblazing a course that prizes melody and truth-telling. “Délires d’une Mélomane” is an expression of interior torment brought to life in piercing poetry and unyielding rhythm.
