CÉLINE (feat. 6 & Kyu Steed)

Amaarae's song 'CÉLINE' featuring 6 and Kyu Steed is a captivating exploration of infatuation and desire. The lyrics revolve around the mysterious figure of Céline, who seems to have an almost dreamlike presence in the narrator's life. The repeated lines, 'You don’t know just what you do to me' and 'Every time I see you it’s in my dreams,' emphasize the intense impact Céline has on the narrator, suggesting a deep, almost obsessive longing. This dreamlike quality is further highlighted by the narrator's admission that they are 'just tryna make you mon ami,' indicating a desire to transform this fantasy into reality.

The song also delves into themes of modern romance and the complexities of attraction. The narrator's head rushes 'like cigarettes,' a metaphor that conveys both the addictive and harmful nature of their feelings. The mention of 'rich sex' and the narrator's burgeoning internet fame add layers of contemporary relevance, reflecting the intersection of love, lust, and social status in today's digital age. The line 'Her nigga gone, Auf Wiedersehen' suggests a potential opportunity for the narrator to step in, adding a sense of urgency and competition to their pursuit of Céline.

Amaarae's musical style, characterized by its blend of Afrobeat, R&B, and alternative influences, complements the song's themes perfectly. The smooth, rhythmic beats and ethereal melodies create an atmosphere that mirrors the dreamlike state described in the lyrics. The collaboration with 6 and Kyu Steed adds depth and variety to the track, enhancing its emotional and sonic complexity. 'CÉLINE' is a testament to Amaarae's ability to craft songs that are both sonically engaging and lyrically profound, capturing the essence of modern love and desire in a way that resonates deeply with listeners.
