Not only does a Birkin look great, but it&#8217;s also bright, eye-catching, and complements any outfit. No two are truly alike, they&#8217;re all hand-crafted and reflect their own personality. Much of the same things could be said for The Real Meladee. Her new single, &#8216;Birkin&#8217;, shows just how confident, fresh, and on point she is &#8211; just like the bag she&#8217;s rapping about.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8216;Birkin&#8217; follows on from &#8216;Set The Tone&#8217;, and both extends and deepens the mood established by that track. With a thunderous kick drum, skittering snares, and synths that pound deep into your soul, The Real Meladee delivers her bars with a magnetism that&#8217;s unmatched: dreamy, breathy vocals, that exude confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The music video for &#8216;Birkin&#8217;, made by frequent Slip N Slide collaborator, Counterpoint 2.0, delivers a high energy clip, that&#8217;s as glittering and gorgeous as Meladee herself. Money is everywhere: she fans herself with a massive wad of 20s, and lays back on a carpet of them. Nothing is left to the imagination &#8211; the stores, the cars, the clothes and jewellery are all top flight and work well in this celebration of conspicuous consumption. But then &#8211; there is the Birkin bag. Made of leather, tinted with yellow, and trimmed in gold, it&#8217;s smart and stunning, and befitting a queen like The Real Meladee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch the music video for &#8216;Birkin&#8217; <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Hj96wkoiH84\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Hj96wkoiH84\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>, and find out more about The Real Meladee and her music online on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@TheRealMeladee\">YouTube<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/meladee03\/\">Instagram<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@meladee03\">TikTok<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_94171\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Hj96wkoiH84?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"The Real Meladee - Birkin (Official Video)\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/Hj96wkoiH84\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hermes Birkin bags have been the ultimate must have stylish accessory for forty years or so now.
