I can feel my heart beat striver
blood up blood down down the river
I can feel my bodyborder
both sides looking at eachother
The opening words of Halfblood? the new single from F.U.N.C. opens the pathway into the intriguing and insightful world of the Finnish/Dutch duo.
The nordic dark pair produce an alternative form of R&B fused with organic percussion originality. F.U.N.C. consists of Misha and Chai Mizou “Blaq” and their latest single – Halfblood? developed from the duo’s roots which lay in Finland, Ukraine, Netherlands and the Congo.
In F.U.N.C.’s words
“It’s an existential thought process of someone with parents from different countries. There’s a lot of rumour about it; people call them halfbloods, doublebloods, metisse… It’s about race war of the world to be fought within one person.
I can’t find a beautiful way of saying it, but both me and Mika have multiple origins, and our duo is about that thing. About the love of it.”
Deliciously dark, while deep in contemplation and personal reflection F.U.N.C. symbolise innovative R&B increasingly moving forward.
Halfblood? is taken from their forthcoming EP Kintsugi.
Full lyrics
I can feel my heart beat striver
blood up blood down down the river
I can feel my bodyborder
both sides looking at eachother
Physically flowing over
And I’m watching close to follow
Who gon be drifting today
Which side sinks and drowns on their bay
Today above the sea level:
Bantu goddess from the devil
Sometimes it’s the clever dutchy
in the sun rich wealthy gutsy
Fightclub at the halfbloodborderline
Bloated bash with boats from both sides
Throwing cannonballs, spears, swords, arrows, fears, false
memories, kill kill
live die live live black white black black
But did you know
My daddy god
My momma angel
Yeah I know
What halfgods like
Halfangel spice
I’m mad devine
When both camps are out of arrows
Over chunks of air, endowments
I can wash me in my river
drink from it and make a refill
I’ll build you a transit lil brook
Forcing you to love me in you
We are universal baby,
Don’t mean that artistically
Fightclub at the halfbloodborderline
Bloated bash with boats from both sides
Throwing cannonballs, spears, swords, arrows, fears, false
memories, kill kill
live die live live black white black black
But did you know
My daddy god
My momma angel
Yeah I know
What halfgods like
Halfangel spice
I’m mad devine
