The Singles Bar: Isabella Han-Bolelli – Asian Enough

Isabella Han-Bolelli confronts the feeling of not being “Asian Enough” with her new song. “How can I call myself Chinese when I butcher the five words of Mandarin I know? How can I call myself Chinese when I go to a Chinatown restaurant and the waiters see a foreigner?” she says about the song’s thematic core. The funkedelic groove slides right into the eardrums. The lyrical barbs expose the life of someone with Asian heritage living in America and how it can be suffocating to feel like you don’t really belong anywhere. While it certainly can be a universal feeling, the song specifically speaks to the Asian American experience.
