25 - Fieh

We're changing the dream-pop style for some funk-inspired soul. "25" is a single from the 22-year-old  Fieh , the head of a nine-piece band, that offers a jazz, funk-infused groove that gives off that finger-snapping, slight hip shake feel, while singing about being a boss-ass-bitch. Her song " Glu " is a similar 'bout regarding independence and not needing no man, but something more high-paced and to dance to, but "25" is a great track to kick it back to.  What about being a boss-ass-bitch?
