Labit’s latest release “I’m A Six And She’s Like A Ninety”, disproves itself- showcasing his immense talent and ability to articulate what so many struggle to: admiration and love. The piece is a wholesome love letter to his partner. Labit writes as if admiring her from afar, and yet it's written from right next to her. The basis of the song is a disconnect in how impressed he is with his partner and how he views himself, but not as a matter of insecurity. He doesn’t use this as a means to make remarks on himself, in fact, he doesn’t speak down on himself in the slightest. Which is why the perspective he has of her is so powerful. He considers himself perfectly fine, and yet, in his eyes, she still surpasses him. He lists her qualities with intense appreciation, qualities which some may even consider flaws. These are vetted as reasons towards why he loves her, and those which don’t quite fit as positive traits provide proof for his love for her. He not only accepts, but admires, that which others would mark as undesirable.
The instrumentals of the piece are largely acoustic and lovely simplified. The easygoing but earnest tone they present offers the perfect pathway for a song like this. It’s sweet and slow, gifting it a touch of romance, but not in the way partners talk to one another. Keep in mind, this isn’t a song to her, this, instead, feels like watching a friend fall in love before they've realized it. It’s removed, and somehow, that makes it all the more moving. Labit’s vocals and manner of stating his lyrics display this as well. He takes on a storytelling role, his honest voice breaking down all the little things only a loving eye sees. Because of this, his imagery is incredible and the song as a whole offers a complete world to every listener.
