Ina Shai is a London-based singer-songwriter from Slovenia. Not too long ago, she released an intimate R&B ballad, entitled, “What Is.”
Ina Shai – “What Is” single
“The song ‘What Is’ was inspired by a deep, one-of-a-kind soulmate love. It talks about the beauty and intricacy of love as it leaves us wondering: »how do we know this is the real thing«? This song means a lot to me as I’ve written it while still in a relationship. And now, it sort of represents my goodbye to the person I was and everything I thought I knew about love. I think that showing love to yourself is the most important thing as only then we can truly love everyone around us.” – Ina Shai explained
‘What Is’ contains a relationship-based narrative, ear-pleasing vocals, and tuneful melodies that will resonate well with fans of Snoh Aalegra, Adele, and Jojo. The passion-induced tune possesses laidback instrumentation flavored with organic sax solo and jazzy contemporary R&B elements. Furthermore, “What Is” serves as the perfect reintroduction to the next wave of music from Ina Shai, perfectly sealed with a kiss.
