“Black Sweetness," takes its name from a Malay proverb (“Hitam Manis”) used to address me when I was child, seemingly to offer comfort about my darker skin in a world that often didn't value it.
It is a song born from the experience of skin-bleaching, pervasive around the world, which placed higher value on fairer skin as beautiful. It’s about reclaiming the beauty of my brown skin after a childhood saturated with Eurocentric beauty standards, lack of representation and unpacking societal biases to truly love my own skin.
