TaniA Kyllikki and Rynellton turn division into dancefloor defiance on new single ‘HUMAN’
There's something immediately powerful about hearing a song reach for unity without losing its sense of movement, and on their collaborative single ‘HUMAN’, TaniA Kyllikki and Rynellton strike that balance with real conviction. Built from an unlikely collision of techno-house energy, gospel-soul expression and emotionally direct songwriting, the track feels both deeply personal and deliberately expansive.
At the centre of it all is TaniA’s voice. Her five-octave range gives ‘HUMAN’ enormous lift, moving from intimate phrasing into soaring belts and intricate runs that bring a genuine sense of urgency to the song’s message. Around her, Rynellton constructs a pulsing electronic backdrop full of rhythmic drive and atmospheric detail, allowing the track to sit comfortably in a club setting without sacrificing its emotional weight.
Lyrically, the track explores race, judgement, equality and compassion, but its strongest moments come when it refuses to overcomplicate the message. Instead of telling us what to think, she circles around the much bigger question of what it actually means to recognise one another as human.
With conventional recording and performance routines made difficult by ongoing health challenges, TaniA has continued to create from a home setup, adapting the process around what is physically possible. It's a context that gives ‘HUMAN’ an extra sense of resilience without ever overwhelming the music itself.
As the lead-in to forthcoming album 'FREE-SPIRITED', the single is a strong statement of intent. It's bold, heartfelt and stylistically fearless, bringing together dance production and soul-rooted vocal expression in a way that feels genuinely distinctive.
With this new release, TaniA Kyllikki and Rynellton have turned frustration into something uplifting and deeply immersive. It's a song about difference, but more importantly, about what remains when those differences are stripped away.
