Thandii the dynamic duo consisting of Jess Berry and percussionist Graham Godfrey, released their debut album, “A Beat To Make It Better.” at the start of 2023.

Despite being newcomers to the album scene, Thandii has already made waves. Their track, “Give Me a Smile,” showcases their seasoned artistry, proving there are no first-time jitters here.

The song’s genesis is as fascinating as its sound. Crafted with captivating instrumentals at their personal studio, aptly named “HaloHalo Studio,” drawing inspiration from tagalog mother tongue of Godfrey’s Filipino mum. The term refers to a Filipino dessert, a rainbow-hued mélange of all things sweet. The music seamlessly incorporates traditional Kulintang, an ancient Asian gong chime form, blending it with trip-hop, electro-pop, and bossa nova.

“Give Me a Smile” while playful and percussive, delivers a powerful message as Jess Berry draws from personal experience, transforming a catcalling incident into an empowering anthem. The song’s rich layers, combined with Berry’s silvery vocals, create a mesmerizing and cohesive track that’s impossible to resist.
