RANJ x Clifr Collaborate With Meba Ofilia On 5-Track EP 'PLAY ME!'

7 October 2024

Bangalore duo RANJ x Clifr and Shillong rapper Meba Ofilia were paired together as part of the 2nd season of cultural incubator 'Jameson Connects – Jam Pad', which had brought together Indian producer-DJ Jay Pei with Bangkok's Hinano for its season 1.

The 3 artists, who have been hotly-tipped rising talents in their respective genres and regions, find the space to showcase their individual voices and emerge very complimentary to each other's presence. While the single and opener 'R.EAL Y.UNG L.UV' come off as a more forced attempt at writing something according to one's shallow understanding of pep modern pop, the collaboration begins to hit the mark and strongly at 'MONSTER!'. A collaboration with RnB duo Dappest & adL, the track sees RANJ match each melodic soar with the duo's soulful melodies over Clifr's combination of lo-fi influences and booming 808s.

It's a combination that goes on to define the rest of the EP sometimes pairing the gritty acoustic guitar riffs with vocal choirs and strings, as on 'MAMA SAID!', which is more of a showcase of Meba Ofilia's vocal versatility, or the soulful horn backing of the title track.
