Amarii Drops A Valentines Two Track Single Special '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. 

“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.
