Hunnah has delivered a soulful, warm single called “Appreciate.” While the production and soundscape are lush and inviting, the meaning behind the song comes from a deeper place. Throughout the track, the Toronto native tackles the disrespect that many Black women face when dating and seeking intimacy.
“This song came from conversations with friends about feeling unappreciated and unseen as black women moving through the world and specifically in the realm of dating. This desire to be desired, to be seen and appreciated is something that I often run from but this song and project overall is me diving into this vulnerability and exploring these often unvoiced desires,” she explained.
Hunnah has never shied away from tackling tough issues while making herself vulnerable to fans. Most notably, she explored the experience of losing her mother on “Stay.” “Appreciate” is simply the latest example of the rising artist making herself open and vulnerable to fans.
“Appreciate” is the next step toward Hunnah’s upcoming project, Unloved. If this is a sign of what fans can expect, Unloved will certainly stand out as one of the best projects of 2021. Check out the new single below.
