about

RYF unveils 'Can I Can U', the third single off Deep Dark Blue, her new album due for release on Bronson Recordings on April 5th on LP, CD and all digital platforms. The single features Skin from Skunk Anansie.

Available on all digital platforms as of today, March 15, 2024, the new single Can I Can U feat. Skin is an electro dance house bomb with the grit of lashing alt-rock guitars, where the ideals of queer and feminist subversion, against homophobia, transphobia and patriarchy, deflagrate in a refrain that is a true anthem to be memorized and sung at the top of one's lungs: "Can I? Can U / Be outrageously queer and stand here without any fear?"

Can I Can U feat. Skin was born in collaboration with Skin herself who, after writing her own parts, interpreted them in her unmistakable voice-one of the most acclaimed in the UK-for generations of music fans. The song became an enthralling back-and-forth, a duet that mounts in anger and energy until the liberating explosion of the chorus, sung in unison, and the dark, syncopated finale.

lyrics

CAN YOU GET RID OF PREJUDICE?
CAN I BE MYSELF?
WHAT I FEEL IS WHAT I WANT
SOMEONE'S SAYING IT'S WRONG

CAN I TAKE CARE OF MYSELF?
CAN I TAKE CARE OF YOU?
CAN YOU JUST LOVE ME AS I AM?
I'M SO FED UP TO PRETEND

CAN I BE IN LOVE WITH YOU?
CAN I LOVE YOU ALL?
CAN U GET RID OF JEALOUSY?

CAN I, CAN YOU
REALLY BE FREE
AND NEVER BE SCARED TO WALK IN THE STREET?
CAN I, CAN U
BE OUTRAGEOUSLY QUEER AND STAND HERE WITHOUT ANY FEAR?

CAREFUL WITH THE WORDS YOU SAY
WORDS CAN HAVE SHARP TEETH
TEETH THAT BITE AND GRIND AWAY
THEY FEAST ON MY BELIEFS

SO DON'T TELL ME THAT I AM FREE
THEN DESTROY MY POINT OF VIEW
YOU TELL ME YOUR GOD IS LOVE
WELL YOUR GOD LOVES ONLY YOU

CAN I BE IN LOVE WITH YOU?
CAN I LOVE YOU ALL?
CAN U GET RID OF FALLACY?

CAN I, CAN YOU
REALLY BE FREE
AND NEVER BE SCARED TO WALK IN THE STREET?
CAN I, CAN U
BE OUTRAGEOUSLY QUEER AND STAND HERE WITHOUT ANY FEAR?
