This summer’s quest for the catchiest regional tracks that effortlessly captivate the listener’s ear led us to Noizy and Yll Limani and their single “Hapa” (“Steps”). Debuting on 08/08/2023, as part of the Alpha Show project, this song swiftly gained viral status on various social media platforms.
“Hapa” narrates a tale of a drunken mistake, lost love, and remorse. These aren’t typical themes found in summer hits, yet Noizy and Yll Limani seamlessly blend them with an irresistible beat and a melodic motif that leaves you humming and swaying along.
