Establishing the mood with orchestral strings and astral piano, TaniA Kyllikki opens I AM Good Enough with a dramatic edge, expanding with a cinematic flair into an immersive soundscape with luscious, layered vocals and the refined, masterful energy that we have come to expect from the talented songstress. With the opening lyrics, she asks emotively, “How is it that I can love so hard giving so much of myself to everybody else, but when it comes to me, I’m blindsided, I can’t see my worth?”
We previously featured TaniA Kyllikki for the empowering Feel Good Vibes, and the romantic I Struck Gold With You, so when we heard that the star was back with I AM Good Enough, we had a feeling that we were in for an emotive, but again potentially cathartic journey.
In essence, I AM Good Enough is about the notion of breaking free from self-doubt, negative inner thoughts, and the heavy weight of feeling unworthy, despite giving so much to others. It reflects the internal battle of self-sabotage and of low self-esteem, while ultimately declaring a powerful affirmation of self-worth and cathartic healing. Through resilience and grace, I AM Good Enough becomes a personal anthem of self-realization, survival, and the courage to believe in yourself.
There is no doubt that TaniA is serving up her soul in this track. We get to experience her expansive vocal range with stunning harmonies that also includes her husband and producer, Rynellton! This is indeed a family affair, and the authenticity feels extremely tangible.
The British emerging artist reminds us of early Toni Braxton, thematically and vocally, there is also a touch of Whitney Houston‘s grandeur and elements of Mariah Carey‘s playfulness – these are all literal icons, and TaniA finds herself at home with these legends. The accompanying visualizer is an emotive loop of TaniA Kyllikki expressing her emotions with a stunning demeanour.
Speaking on the release of I AM Good Enough, the star confesses, “This is about finally setting yourself free from being trapped and allowing yourself to shine. Many of us have experienced abuse in one form or another, and as a result, we lose our identity, develop low self-esteem, and lose sight of our own worth. These lies embedded deep in our minds stop us from being free and celebrating and loving who we truly are. It stops us from achieving our dreams and being the best version of ourselves and to others. Self-love is something that is important for growth in ourselves and our relationships with others. If we don’t love ourselves, we simply cannot love others in the right way. When we lack self-worth, we enslave ourselves in an imprisoned life.”
We are always in awe of what TaniA Kyllikki creates, and I AM Good Enough is no exception. Her message, performance and awe inspiring depth are all incredible points of connection for us as listeners, and we cannot wait to experience more from the empowering creator.
