    Serial Kisser features BOJ, one of the pioneers of Nigeria’s alté scene, whose contribution adds a laid-back contrast to Rukmani’s more direct vocal approach. The track focuses on themes of desire and emotional control, framed from a perspective of ownership rather than pursuit.

    The second track, HIH (Hot In Here), leans into a more introspective neo-soul direction, centered on self-assurance and emotional awareness.
