Amara-Feโs latest pop odyssey, SHIFT, is a 24-track rollercoaster that refuses to hit the brakes. Born from a deep-rooted musical lineage, her paternal ties trace back to members of The Gap Band, while her maternal side connects to a songwriter for Minnie Riperton; Amara-Feโs DNA practically hums in melody. Recorded in her creative sanctuary in Texas, the album radiates the freedom of someone who truly feels at home in her art. With no grandstanding influences, just a pure love for sound and storytelling, SHIFT embodies the essence of pop as it brims with personality.
The record kicks off with โEyes on Me,โ which struts with thick, heavy beats alongside Amara-Feโs effortless confidence. Her lush and commanding voice makes the lyricism sparkle with attitude. Itโs witty and catchy in all the right ways; after one listen, youโll find yourself humming the hook without realizing it. Then comes โCall Me Out,โ a hypnotic mid-album gem that blends tapping percussion with a cinematic pulse. It walks through neon rain, mystical and confrontational all at once. When she sings, โCall me out, call me now, if I am the one you want, boy, say it loud,โ her tone cuts through vulnerable, like sheโs daring her love to speak up.
Later, โThe Potionโ shifts gears into sensual, self-possessed, and sultry territory. With her velvety delivery, she sings over ambient textures and finger snaps, declaring her indifference in lines like, โHaters talking, but I am all about the hustle.โ Finally, anthemic and gutsy โI Sing, I Rapโ brings the curtain down in a blaze of empowerment.
In SHIFT, Amara-Fe rewrites her own rules. Check it out on Spotify.
