Keni Titus explores gender double standards with a sparse yet gripping soundscape on her latest single, “man like you.”
Keni Titus has a knack for crafting music that feels intentional, and her new single “man like you” fits right in. The LA-based alt-pop artist aims straight at gender double standards, taking on the uneven freedoms men enjoy in pursuit and desire.
The song’s foundation is both sparse and intriguing. A stripped-down, slightly eerie production builds around a pulsing tempo, creating tension between discomfort and quiet optimism. It’s the kind of contrast that keeps you leaning closer instead of settling in.
Lyrically, Titus pushes past easy statements. She questions how privilege and power shape relationships, but she never turns the track into a lecture. The storytelling stays sharp, giving her point of view room to breathe.
Her delivery seals it. Each melody feels carefully placed, and the chorus lands with a sly edge that lingers after the final note. “man like you” shows Titus navigating heavy ideas without losing the pull of a good song.
