about
Y La Bama shares their latest single and video, "Hues (feat. Devendra Banhart),” a song about not being anyone’s fool. Rhythms veer into bossa nova territory on the track, which is a full-circle collaboration for lead vocalist and producer Luz Elena Mendoza Ramos as they reminisce on the significance of finding Banhart’s work nearly two decades earlier.
All proceeds from the single are going to Border Kindness, an organization that provides asylum-seekers, migrants, refugees, and the displaced with comprehensive services that include food, shelter, clothing, medical care, and legal services.
Lyrics:
Hues of loving you
Has led me to be blind
Don’t worry I might be wrong
Don’t worry my love
Not worried lately
I’ll be gone I won’t change my mind
I know
That I failed you once or twice
And what I know I
Can’t take it baby
I’m so sorry but I can’t
So I had to walk away
It doesn’t matter anymore
Nor did it ever
We gave up somehow
I guess it all was
I guess it all was once before
And I don’t care about those
Sweet mornings
I am no fool
I am no fool
I am no fool but i’m fine without you
Oooh
My darlin I
My darlin I
Can’t be
My darlin I
Can’t be anything but the truth
What do we do now
What do we say
We’ve been here before
Wouldn’t you say
Wouldn’t you say
But I don’t care about those
Sweet mornings
I’m no fool baby
I’m no fool
Hues of loving you
Has led me to be blind
Don’t worry I might be wrong
Don’t worry my love
Not worried lately
I’ll be gone I won’t change my mind
I know
That I failed you once or twice
And what I know I
Can’t take it baby
I’m so sorry but I can’t
So I had to walk away
It doesn’t matter anymore
Nor did it ever
We gave up somehow
I guess it all was
I guess it all was once before
And I don’t care about those
Sweet mornings
I am no fool
I am no fool
I am no fool but i’m fine without you
Oooh
My darlin I
My darlin I
Can’t be
My darlin I
Can’t be anything but the truth
What do we do now
What do we say
We’ve been here before
Wouldn’t you say
Wouldn’t you say
But I don’t care about those
Sweet mornings
I’m no fool baby
I’m no fool

Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces. zhangtastic
