Los Angeles-based alt-pop duo Bahari—aka Natalia Panzarella and Ruby Carr—have released a new single, “Destructive” today. Iconic hitmaker Desmond Child penned the new track with Rock Mafia, which feature luminous keys fused to a glitchy beat as the vocal volley between Natalia and Ruby instantly transfixes. Listen to the track now below.
About “Destructive,” the duo said, “We were always so drawn to this song and kept finding ourselves going back to it. ‘Destructive’ is raw and honest, about how we have come to know ourselves better. Accepting that one’s self-sabotage and destructive behavior, whether conscious or subconscious, is something that is a part of us. Understanding how it affects relationships and how it’s something that almost everyone has dealt with at some point in their life.”
The new song arrives in the wake of “Hot Mess” featuring artist and producer Yoshi Flower, released earlier this year. In 2021, Bahari dropped the singles “All Around Me” [feat. Cody Lovaas] and “Ways Of Love,” as well as summer 2021 EP Forget You.
