You Ain’t Sh *t is the new affirming put down record from Swedish/Ethiopian artist, songwriter, and producer Bishat. The lead single from their forthcoming debut EP, Who Hurt You?, it’s deliberately positioned as a potential-petty-but-oh-so-necessary tribute to setting boundaries and removing the power from those that play games.
With syrupy vocals and warm bass tones, You Ain’t Sh *t evokes the reassuring feeling of having someone tell you that your frustration is justified. The floaty, carefree way in which Bishat delivers her vocal feels like a weight lifted — freed by the knowledge that others only have the power you let them.
This sense of liberation is something Bishat explores when reflecting on the song’s importance to her:
”When you get hurt, there are different ways to deal with it. Either you blame everybody else and continue on the same track, or you work on yourself, learn from it and reap the benefits of that emotional work. That's where I really feel I am now.”
