February, as the heartbroken would remind TS Eliot, is the cruellest month of the year. It is no surprise then that one of the freshest music releases of the month evokes the sense of struggle with the self that follows a bitter breakup. New Delhi-based singer, and now producer, Ananya Jafa AKA JAFA’s new release, Words leave, stands out for its soothing pop overtones that elevate its lyrical poetry. The song is only the second release from the 23-year-old, but marks a gradual evolution of her style.
Style is a key part of the production as well. The song’s video captures the journey of complex social relationships viewed through the lens of a generation that grew up on Facebook and Instagram. The song is also the second part of a triptych, the singer reveals. “There is a third song as well, Parchment. The three are part of a common narrative. So, 2018 is written from my perspective. Words leave is told from the perspective of a second girl in the situation, while the third song is from the boy’s perspective,” she says over a phone call.
