LIST PICK
YOUNISS (FEAT. PETITE NOIR) GITS WORSE
With 'Gits Worse' Antwerp-based artist Youniss delivers one of his most compelling releases to date, joined by South African visionary Petite Noir. The track fuses post-punk tension, experimental rap, and noirwave sensibility into a raw meditation on chaos, struggle, and self-realisation. Opening with 'Don’t you worry little child, this is not the end' Youniss sets a tone of weary resilience. His verses blur the line between confession and confrontation, pushing through chains of confinement and societal weight, while Petite Noir’s presence amplifies the songs emotional gravity. Musically, 'Gits Worse' balances jagged rhythms and distorted textures with melodic glimpses that act as the track’s breath. That contrast of chaos versus clarity is its strength: noisy and confrontational, yet always in service of perspective. The refrain about breaking down walls and the repeated wish that 'these people never find me' gives the song a fugitive, restless heart. Lyrically and sonically, the song captures the search for clarity amid disorder- a storm of distortion that ultimately resolves into light. -Rachel Fryer
