Groove along to this irresistibly charming anthem, a reggae-infused, alt-pop opus from Liona Jahmara – ‘My kindness’

The track shines bright with a soulful, empowering message, wrapped in a sleek, futuristic, alt-pop sound. Featuring uplifting beats, gentle guitar tones and warm vocals that make us firmly believe that kindness is in fact our greatest superpower!

Liona, based in the Netherlands, is a digital artist who’s dedicated to music that inspires, uplifts and resonates straight to the heart and soul of her listeners.

Channeling her Caribbean roots, even her artist name has significant meaning. Liona represents the lion, a symbol of strength. Jah means God, and Mara is a nod to her biggest idol, Bob Marley. A heady mix of strength, spirituality, and musical inspiration. That’s the energy embedded within her music.

‘My kindness’ opens in an introspective fashion. Downtempo strums and Jahmara’s soulful vocals lead us into a hypnotic, effortlessly cool tempo. The sound combines genres really well, from the smooth tones of R&B to melancholic blues melodies, ambient atmospherics, and modern pop textures. There’s something for everyone to like with this one.

What truly stands out, though, is Liona’s vocals. Understated but brilliant. Her voice conveys a nonchalant warmth and richness. Her vocal delivery is confident and conversational, kinda like you’re sitting across from her in a cafe while she tells you about her kindness.

The lyrics are laden with relatable meaning and depth. They point to a beautiful way of living through simple acts of kindness and patience. Its about counting your blessings and appreciating the smallest joys in your life. Its about showing the people closest to you the love and affection they deserve. Lines like ‘the small circle, I clout it’ and ‘who doesn’t honor the small, doesn’t deserve the big’ are smart reminders to value what we’ve got closest to us.

Liona’s vocals pair superbly with the instrumentation. Making this a sublime listening experience. This is a track to relax and unwind to, to reaffirm your faith in the goodness that lives in yourself and the world around us.

‘My kindness’ is a track that exemplifies what it truly means to be a soft-hearted yet strong person in this world. It oozes with a likeable charm and groovy hypnotic blend of genres that leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy inside.
