about
Swiss-based power duo IKAN HYU have released ‘× POW ! ×’, the first single of their upcoming debut album. ’× POW ! ×’ – picture of a woman – addresses the disconnection between other people’s expectations and one’s own reality. With lyrics like “This picture of a woman ain’t a woman like me” and “Who put her in my head?”, the duo underlines their defiant attitude towards stereotypes and questions the standards women are expected to live up to. Raw, electrifying and powerful, the lead vocals, guitars and drums in ‘POW’ are a one-take and were recorded in their rehearsal room, reflecting the band’s approach of creating their own image, taking charge of their own sound and breaking free from fixed ideals though self-expression. Unafraid, explosive and true to their unapologetic sound ‘× POW ! ×’ is a promising taste of what IKAN HYU has in store for us this year...
lyrics
This picture of a woman
Ain’t a woman like me
This picture of a woman
Ain’t a woman like me
This picture of a woman
Ain’t a woman like me
This picture of a woman
Who put her in my head
Can you tell me
When did she appear
Desire in her gaze
Oh she lookin’ like she was so real
Who put her in my head
Can you see her smilin’ in the frame
And every day I change
But she lookin’ like she stays the same
This picture of a woman
This picture of a woman
This picture of a woman
This picture of a woman
This picture of a woman
Ain’t a woman like me
This picture of a woman
Ain’t a woman like me
This picture of a woman
Ain’t a woman like me
This picture of a woman
Woman
Like me
Who put her in my head
She’s been hangin’ out here for too long
Like a memory of the past
Can you tell me when she will be gone
Who put her in my head
Can you see her smilin’ in the frame
And every day I change
But she lookin’ like she stays the same
This picture of a woman
This picture of a woman
This picture of a woman
This picture of a woman
This picture of a woman
Ain’t a woman like me
This picture of a woman
Ain’t a woman like me
This picture of a woman
Ain’t a woman like me
This picture of a woman
Ain’t a woman like me
Everyday I change
But she stays the same
Everyday I change
But she stays the same
Everyday I change
But she stays the same
Everyday I change
But she stays the same
This picture of a woman
This picture of a woman
This picture of a woman
This picture of a woman
Is not like me
Is not like me
Is not like me
Is not like me
Is not laaaa
