Of the song, Tarriona “Tank” Ball says, “A lot of women forget that power comes from vulnerability and being very completely honest with your partner instead of putting on a front. On ‘Why Try,’ we have a vulnerable woman who isn’t afraid to say, ‘I like you and you’re not giving me the same energy back. I know you like me, too.’”
Most recently, the group debuted two new songs—“Stolen Fruit” and “Black Folk” featuring Alex Isley & Masego—in celebration of Black History Month while their track “No ID” premiered earlier this year. The new music continues to receive critical praise; Vibe proclaims, “[‘Black Folk’ is an] endearing ode to Black people, culture, and experiences, showcasing the most underrated moments of the neo-soul wave.” BET furthers, “Tarriona Ball’s commanding vocal presence gets alchemized on 'No ID,’ a disco-influenced number.”
