A shimmering track with a presence that will leave you wanting more is ‘Eyes on me’ by Amara-Fe. It is the first song on her twenty-four piece album, ‘Shift’, blasting in with a confidence that is contagious.
The song pulsates with defiance that feels exquisite. This is the voice of a woman who has been broken, but has built herself back again, more strong and more beautiful. The song is brutally honest, every line thrown with intention and power.
The track feels stunning with layered synth pads and a beat that makes the track go forward. The production serves as a perfect canvas for the vocals, which are delivered with controlled precision. The delivery is seductive and poised, never sounding arrogant. The lyrics come from a personal space, never slipping into cliches, making the narrative fully hers. There is a slight reverb to the vocals, giving the track a depth– it points to detachment from the people who always want to bring her down. The track overall has a dreamlike gloss, giving it a very cinematic and expansive feel. ‘Eyes on me’ perfectly captures the power that comes when you truly start to give yourself the light that you give out to others.
It’s a track you’ll keep coming back to, because hearing it once is not enough. You can listen to the track ‘Eyes on me’ by Amara-Fe on popular platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and YouTube.
