Afsa Rhia Yasmin Talah, known professionally as (A)Rhia [Pronounced: Ay-Ree-A] is a British-Pakistani rapper, song-writer, singer and producer. She was born on 7th March 1987 (age 24) to Dr. Hussain Talah and Janet Gordon. (A)Rhia has described her music as left field pop with abstract rap.

Growing up in Britain with a wealthy family, (A)Rhia had a very good upbringing. She attended private school and received almost anything she wanted, apart from happiness that was. On her childhood she has this to say;

"People used to say that I was ungrateful because I received almost anything I asked for and I still wasn't happy but the truth of the matter was that I didn't have the most important thing in life, a caring family. I'm not saying my parents don't love me because they do but growing up, dad was always concentrating on work whilst mum stressed about bills and argued with him. It seemed like all the gifts they bought me were just to keep me quiet and out of the way. I still remember the day I was sitting in my room surrounded by all of my toys, I was 8 at the time I think, and I remember thinking to myself 'I can't be bothered with these toys I've played with them to death!, what I really want is to see my dad' so I went into his study and he was at his desk, I went over and gave him a hug and I remember the EXACT words he said; 'Afsa, why don't you leave alone I have more important things to do than mess about with you'. It kind of has its positives though because it inspires the music I'm writing at the moment."

(A)Rhia is an Atheist despite her mother being a Catholic and her father being Muslim. She believes that 'the only God's are ourselves'. She attended a non-denominational primary and secondary school in Manchester.

On June 23rd 2010, at the age of 23, (A)Rhia gave birth to a baby girl, Samah. The father of the baby was a pupil who attended the same school as (A)Rhia, however the pair broke up before the baby was born but still remained in contact. On November 19th 2010, Samah passed away due to Respiratory Distress Syndrome.

(A)Rhia has written over 70 songs in the last year and has also produced several songs for underground artists. She also worked with Stefani Vola on her debut single; "You Sent Me Flying".

She is currently unsigned and is working on her debut EP. (A)Rhia says if no label shows interest, she'll be more than happy to do it all independently.

I'm not surprised she likes someone for being a wanker though...it seems to be the pre-requisite for her liking anyone.

Title: Bang
Length: 3:02
Written By: (A)Rhia
Genre: Synthpunk


Track
"Bang" is the first track on (A)Rhia's debut EP 'Government Warning'. The song opens with a hevy beating of drums alongside a disfunctional sounding synth that immediately gets the adrenaline pumping. This whole sound continues throughout the song until (A)Rhia gets to the spoken ward part of the song; here the music sounds muffled as if heard through a wall before slowly rising in volume again. However, when the backing track gets back into full swing, the drums become more aggressive as if someone is pouding them. When (A)Rhia stops singing the track continues for another 20 seconds with just the synth playing. The song fades out with the sound effect of a heart monitor flatlining.


Meaning
The song is basically about the evil in the world and no matter how much you try to make a perfect world by locking up criminals, killing dictators and ending wars there will still always be one person out there to do harm.

(A)Rhia said; "Looking on comments on music videos I see a lot of artists get hate just because they release a so called 'rubbish song'. They get death threats and everyone turns on them. People seem to care more about the amount of dislikes a video has on YouTube than important things going on in the world. So writing this song was inspired by those horrible comments, they said to me 'do something wrong or something I dislike I will kill you and single you out'. If that happened for real and everyone was killed for doing something 'wrong' then nobody would be left in the world. That'ss what this song represents, aiming for perfection by killing all the bad things but in doing so by killing you then become 'bad' and it's just a viscious cycle."


Key
Italics: spoken word


Bang bang bang bang!
We all fall down
No one left screaming, no one makes a sound;
If you even whimper, if you turn around
Bang bang bang bang!
You will fall down

In this game there are no winners
We all play but no one makes it out alive
In this game there are no losers
We're all in the same boat, we're going to capsize

In this world there is no justice
We all seem to think it should be served with a bang
In this world their are no leaders
Cos one by one they all get hanged

Keep running, keep running, we can try to escape it but it'll just keep coming
Keep running, keep running, we can try to escape it but it'll just keep coming
Keep running, keep running, for fuck sake just keep on running
Keep running, keep running, don't look back cos' I can hear them coming

Bang bang bang bang!
We all fall down
No one left screaming, no one makes a sound;
If you even whimper, if you turn around
Bang bang bang bang!
You will fall down

Keep running, keep running, we can try to escape it but it'll just keep coming
Keep running, keep running, we can try to escape it but it'll just keep coming
Keep running, keep running, for fuck sake just keep on running
Keep running, keep running, don't look back cos' I can hear them coming

Bang bang bang bang!
We all fall down
No one left screaming, no one makes a sound;
If you even whimper, if you turn around
Bang bang bang bang!
You will fall down

Nobody is safe, we can try to escape, but in the end we just gotta do it
You might cry, you might try to hide but in the end you're gonna get a bullet

Keep running, keep running, we can try to escape it but it'll just keep coming
Keep running, keep running, we can try to escape it but it'll just keep coming


Beat can be compared to;

Government Warning
We will be uniform, in top form
Nobody will be left out, singled out
We will march together, left-right-left
We will walk together, step by step
We will pray together, hallelujah amen
We will be together, right until the end

Forget everything you had
Forget everything you were
Leave it all behind
Stand up straight, get in line



Silly Bitch
It doesn't matter how, it's just a matter of time
I'm gonna get ya bitch, hit you with a rhyme
You think you're 'it', you think you're the sh!
Well let me tell ya something, girl, you're just a silly bitch

Silly bitch, tryin to be me
Silly bitch, tryin to love me
Silly bitch, tryin too hard.....



Banana
Some people say I'm fruity
Like some exotic queen
Some people say I'm delicious
Like chocolate ice cream
Some people say I'm sour
Some people say I'm sweet
But I'm just like a big banana;
Silly and smiley

Banana..
Banana..
Banana..



Dorothy Perkins
Ooh look at you, and your whole hip crew
Ain't got a mind, but got a billion dimes
Hey hark at you, with your fancy new boots
Can't tie your laces but at least you look cute
Damn you look hot in your big fur coat
Ain't got no knickers but you still gloat

Are you serious?
Are you serious?
Are you serious?
Girl, you're delirious.....



Little Fix
Little fix, little fix (yeah, yeah)
Little fix, little fix (yeah, yeah)
Little fix, little fix (yeah, yeah)
Little fix....little fix

I just want to lay you down on my table
I just want to spread you right out
I want to feel you working in my body
I want to overdose on your love;

You're my little fix, you're my daily hit....
