Hackney, East London artist, rapper, and producer Henny Knightz just dropped his new single, “GOTH MIA.”
On the inspiration behind the track, Knightz shares: “It was inspired by the psychological unraveling of Mia Goth’s character in Pearl. This haunting record captures the internal battle of chasing greatness while being consumed by self-doubt and pressure.”
Knightz is in his element here, gliding over experimental hip-hop production with a flow that mirrors the track’s starts and stops—slithering in and out like a snake.
The beat blends foley textures and eerie vocal samples, giving the track a cinematic feel. If this song were a cake mix, Knightz somehow makes haunting and eerie taste cool.
Lyrically, the connection to Pearl is clear—Knightz raps about wanting to be seen, known, and famous, echoing the film’s central theme.
It's a visceral portrayal of ambition under pressure, no matter what you've been through before.
A standout effort from Knightz that showcases his range—blending songwriting, production, and rap delivery into one sharp, cohesive track.
