Navisha Turns Up the Heat With Funk-Soaked Soul Single “You”

Navisha knows exactly what she’s doing. The Boorloo-based soul/funk singer-songwriter’s new single “You” is warm, groove-heavy, and impossible to shake, a track built for late-night connection and the kind of feeling that takes over everything else.
At just 19, Navisha is already making serious moves. A WAAPA graduate, her previous independent releases include “See Through,” which climbed to number 12 on local charts and cemented her presence in the Western Australian music scene throughout a busy run of headline shows in 2025.
“You” is a confident step forward. Where earlier releases leaned into raw, heartbreaking ballads, this one plants itself firmly in funk-influenced grooves, letting rhythm carry the emotional weight. Full-bodied electric guitars, velvety keyboard textures, and a steady rhythmic foundation give the track an upbeat ease that never loses its edge. Overdriven guitar phrasing weaves between tight riffs and expressive solos, adding real swagger without overwhelming the laid-back momentum.
Navisha’s vocal delivery is the centrepiece throughout. Smoky, passionate, and flirtatious, it leans into the track’s themes of desire and intimacy with total conviction. It’s the kind of performance that makes the song stick.
She wrote “You” from a deeply personal place. “I wrote ‘You’ following the journey of finding myself when I realised I was in love as a teenager,” she explains. “Carefree with only one thing on my mind, the energy of the song plays on that exact sentiment, forgetting about everything else and just being immersed in the moment.”
