The words that best describe Doris Kebati’s debut R&B single would be a sombre tune softly enmeshed in Doris’ angelic diction. According to the singer, the emotionally-charged acoustic track has been on her vision board for two years. 

With relatable lyrics coupled with top-notch production, Doris recreates the trope of the fed-up persona that is central to iconic R&B ballads. As Doris croons the lyrics, “a situationship isn’t a relationship, it’s just what it is”, we relate to the complications of a situationship that entangle the best of us. Often, an intimate relationship without labels induces insecurity. By the chorus, Doris implores us to consider the age-old question we ask when we’re unsure of our romantic prospects; “what are we?”

As the song fades away, it recreates the experience of reconciling one’s emotions after the storm of a break-up. For a debut single, Doris Kebati exudes powerful promise.

Situationship is available on all platforms.
