Rising: R&B

“Four More Days” is a quarantine love song, a fond reflection on far-away lovers. Every touring artist knows the trails of love at a distance, and this song considers the lost opportunities for connection while moving at the swift pace of being on the road and the longing that comes with being separated from new loves and the glitz of nightlife in the midst of a global pandemic. The fervent pace of Hua Li’s lyrics combine with breezy, soaring production from Alexander Thibault for this raving ode to love affairs that lie beyond reach.

THE ANGEL YOU DON'T KNOW

LEAVE ME ALONE

I don't understand it
I can't seem to get it right
I'm all in my head here
Cause I'm over thinking now

If I act to soon
To chase the mood
And get stuck in that lunar phase
I'll follow you
You'll lead me through 
Then I'll take my chance that way

Had a dream of a crescent moon
Does it mean that our love is true
You’re my idol, I don't 
Don't want for that to sway
No way
No

I'm willing to try
I'm willing to try
To save us 
Can we survive (can we survive) 
To save us

Had to step my game up
Cause you never suffer fools
Soft as a sherpa
Your body's like precious jewels

If your love I'd lose
That ego bruise
I could not recover baby
The silent sounds
Of hearts crying out
Is loud as an 808

Had a dream of a crescent moon
Does it mean that our love is true
You’re my idol, I don't 
Don't want for that to sway
No way
No

I'm willing to try
I'm willing to try
To save us 
Can we survive (can we survive) 
To save us

To save us, oh
To save us, no

I'm willing to try
I'm willing to try
To save us 
Can we survive (can we survive) 
To save us

Save Us

Saturday Nights

I woke up feeling great
The birds are in the trees
They’re singing me a melody
La la la la fuck the police 

My head is on straight
My heart is in peace
My soul is incredibly 
Ready to change history 

It’s a good day
To fight the system
(To fight the system)
It’s a good, good, good day, yes,
A good, good, good day

We’re never gonna stop
We’re gonna make it count
When when one of is tired out
The other one will hold down

We’re gonna spread the love
We’re gonna spread it ‘round 
We’re all over in the city now
And way down in the underground 

It’s a good day
To fight the system
(To fight the system)
It’s a good, good, good day, yes,
A good, good, good day

It’s a good day
To fight the system
(To fight the system)
It’s a good, good, good day, yes,
A good, good, good day

It’s a good, it’s a good, it’s a good, it’s a good
It’s a good, it’s a good, it’s a good
It’s a good, it’s a good, it’s a good, it’s a good
It’s a good, it’s a good, it’s a good
It’s a good, it’s a good, it’s a good, it’s a good
It’s a good, it’s a good, it’s a good
It’s a good, it’s a good, it’s a good, it’s a good

It’s a good day
To fight the system
(To fight the system)
It’s a good, good, good day, yes,
A good, good, good day

(‘C’mon!)

It’s a good day
To fight the system
(To fight the system)
It’s a good, good, good day, yes,
A good, good, good day
