Amaeya is that singer blessed with a sparkling voice that can be described as a newly made sword straight from the best sword maker in town. This is the perfect description of Amaeya’s voice; it is candy-coated, and with every listen to her song, you will be wanting more, just like a lollipop. Her music, which reminds one of all the love and heart-pumping emotions you can feel as a teenager and young adult in this world, serves as the perfect soundtrack to our love lives. You, me, and our lovers, what more can go right?
Her melodies, like sweet wine straight from the divine source, are derived from memories and life of being free and youthful, with rhythmic and bluish-themed lyrics and a blend of the earworm Afrobeats and soul-touching musical narrative that is simply descriptive, giving listeners the power to imagine the story she tells in her songs.
Her first official single titled ‘On My Own,’ released in the middle of September alongside a Glitch Session performance, introduces her musical storytelling journey. The song, which centers around the themes of love, independence, letting go, and optimism, serves as an independence message to listeners, evident from the song title itself.
Amaeya also blessed listeners with the acoustic version of ‘On My Own,’ which featured her soulful voice and gentle guitar that rides along with her voice.
‘Delusion,’ her second single, is a beautiful song that has a calm atmosphere around it, which keeps listeners attached to it like a magnet, putting it on a loop. The tune is required to be on repeat over and over because the melody is addictive, and her voice is soothing as she sings about being free with her desires and her imaginations. The song is a testament to being young and free.
‘Delusion,’ which leads up to her latest song, ‘Too Much,’ serves as a question directed to her lover. These singles connect the dots that would eventually lead to a full narrative, hopefully in her debut body of work.
With a vibrant and rich discography of three singles and an acoustic version, packed with over 200 thousand streams and solid listeners, Amaeya has a story to tell, and we are all listening.
