Song of the Day: So Weak – Ama Louise

North London songstress AMA LOUISE gives us the infectious ‘So Weak’, her highly anticipated follow up to previous hit ‘No Angel’.

Ama teams up once again with producer AntiWave to deliver yet another flawless offering, laced with her signature sweet vocals.

Bearing an unmistakable 90’s influenced vibe, ‘So Weak’ comes accompanied with stunning visuals shot by DON Productions. Both the audio and video are poignantly reminiscent of classic R&B anthems that went before, a refreshing UK take on an US inspired sound.

Born in Paris and raised in Tottenham, Ama Louise is steady rising as one of the UK’s most promising R&B talents. Growing up listening to a plethora of different genres such as Jazz, with Alicia Keys also a huge inspiration for her, Ama is undoubtedly proving that UK R&B is here to stay.

Ama Louise’s music has been supported on notable UK radio stations such as KISS FM, Capital Xtra, No Signal and Pulse 88, with plans to further make her mark within the R&B scene across the UK and beyond. Have a listen to Ama Louise’s track below..

Song of the Day: Love Me Leave Me – K Harrison

Rising wordsmith K HARRISON is next up to bat in the UK rap arena. Despite only having a couple of tracks under his belt — he’s already been co-signed by Compton rap titan The Game and worked side-by-side with the nation’s favourite redhead Ed Sheeran.

With superstars in his corner and two summer anthems in the air — ‘Fire Fire’ and his seismic debut ‘Boss (Call Away)’ — which both collectively accumulated over 220,000 streams on Spotify alone – K Harrison is back with a fresh hit in the making titled ‘Love Me Leave Me’.

Selecting a sultry sound pool once again, K Harrison deploys his nocturnal, pop-friendly delivery across a bulk of the runtime, before changing gears to his rapid-fire flow.

Bringing the summer heat, ‘Love Me Leave Me’ is the perfect conclusion to K Harrison’s party-starting trilogy. The Magic Hour-produced beat is home to soft, melodic guitar licks, layered vocal riffs and Latin and trap-adjacent kicks. Smooth.

Outside the studio, K Harrison is anchored by his deep-rooted love for performing — rocking international stages in Europe and Asia. The spitter also fronted the stage at BST Hyde Park festival in front of 70,000 people, performing a full set on the Barclaycard Stage to roaring crowd applause!

Often nicknamed “The Fresh Prince of Derby”, K Harrison has developed somewhat of a cult audience over the years. With over 20k followers on Instagram, the rapper-turned-vocalist regularly engages with audience, sharing previews of new music, gigs and slice of life content to flesh out his music journey so far.

Currently, K Harrison is putting the finishing touches on his forthcoming debut LP. With a high benchmark set by tracks like ‘Love Me Leave Me’, fans eagerly anticipate his next move! Check him out below…
