HBD to me
by Zenglen · 2024 · kompa · 4:23 · Haitian Creole, French
“HBD to me” turns the birthday message toward the singer. Zenglen gives that idea four minutes and twenty-three seconds of kompa in its July 14, 2024 release, with no guest named in the title. The mix of an English abbreviation and a personal phrase lets the track enter a celebration easily while leaving room for reflection in the lyrics. For a band spanning several generations, a birthday song addressed to oneself creates an individual space inside a collective sound, where a festive groove and personal accounting can coexist.
