Amarii Celebrates Valentines Day With A Special Two Track Single “state of the heart”
Coming through with his first release of the year, Eswatini artist Amarii pours his heart out on his 2-Track single titled “state of the heart”. Fresh off the release of his well-received LP, “From Bremersdorp With Love” in December 2023, he gives us this love-focused two track single.
On the opening track, he draws inspiration from Rihanna’s 2007 hit for the chorus
and title of his high-energy, drill-inspired song “Umbrella”. He pairs his melodies and
catchy lyrics on the hook and chorus with bouncy melodic raps and flows on the
verse. It is honestly safe to say this record is more than perfect for sing-alongs on
every occasion, whether you’re in the shower, in the car or in the club!
“To be honest,I came up with this song in one session. Most of the time that's
how I come up with the catchiest songs because I don’t really think about it too much,” Amarii explains. “With umbrella, I really just punched it in line by line. I had made the beat as an experiment just to see if I could make some good drill music out of a guitar sample. As soon as I had the whole arrangement done, I literally mumbled a bunch of melodies and just put words to all the melodies I liked,” He adds.
Amarii follows up with a mellow rap record titled “this thing of ours”. Here, he breaks
down all the tell-tale signs that make him believe that he and his lover share something very special, something he can confidently call love. He shares his thoughts and feelings carefully as he raps steadily with consistency and confidence,
almost as if he wants to ensure that nobody misses any part of his story. “I really
just wanted to write a song about something I was living in. I always speak
about past relationships in my music and this time I thought I should tap into
my current situation. Sometimes I challenge myself by giving myself a subject
and just making a song based on one idea and this was one of those times. I
really enjoyed working on this one. I can only hope that people feel the same
way I feel about it!” he emphasises.
At this point, it is worth mentioning that the muso teamed up with Silverspoon
Pictures Director Flex and Luda Films Productions to give life to this sentimental
record through a music video. The video is set in a coffee shop where Amarii is
writing a letter to his lover in the midst of other customers going through the ups
and downs of valentine’s day. As he writes and contemplates on his next words to his
lover, there is a nearby couple having an awkward first date, a woman on a lonely
solo date and a man getting stood up. One would not even imagine or believe the
plot twist in this story. You would just have to see the full video for yourself on his YouTube channel!
“We’ve got a lot more music on the way. I’m so grateful for the love people
have shown for ‘From Bremersdorp With Love’. We’ve surpassed numbers I’ve personally, never really seen in my career and I can’t thank the dreamers
enough! More than 2500 listeners on Spotify off this one release is insane to me,
I can’t wait to soar even higher. Be on the lookout for the acoustic version of
“state of the heart” we’ll be bringing it to you on February 23!” Amarii exclaims.
