Hackney’s own Henny Knightz just unleashed "GOTH MIA" into the world. The East London artist—who wears multiple hats as rapper, producer, and creative force—delivers something genuinely unsettling here.
The track’s genesis? Pure psychological horror cinema. "It was inspired by the psychological unraveling of Mia Goth’s character in Pearl," Knightz explains. "This haunting record captures the internal battle of chasing greatness while being consumed by self-doubt and pressure."
Knightz absolutely glides over this experimental hip-hop production. His flow mimics the track’s jarring starts and stops—slithering in and out like a serpent through tall grass.
The beat itself is a masterclass in atmospheric tension. Foley textures weave through eerie vocal samples, creating something undeniably cinematic. If this song were a cake mix, Knightz somehow makes haunting and eerie taste… cool.
Lyrically, the Pearl connection hits hard and immediate. Knightz raps about wanting to be seen, known, famous—echoing the film’s central obsession with recognition at any cost.
It’s visceral storytelling about ambition under crushing pressure. No matter what you’ve endured before, that hunger remains.
