Amaarae, known for her work around the representation of gender and race in music, is one of the brightest talents to come out of the Ghanaian music industry in recent times. Her exploits in the local and international music scene in the last few years have been nothing less than inspiring.

The new single ‘Reckless & Sweet’ is a captivating track that examines toxic love. The track is filled with Amaarae’s signature afro-futuristic sound and features her smooth and soulful vocals, which glide over the track’s laidback instrumental.

“Reckless & Sweet” is about the singer’s success, confidence, and desire for money. In the first verse, she speaks about feeling blessed and confident, warning others not to test her patience. She describes feeling high and searching for something more in her life. She also mentions her wealth, warning others not to touch her when she gets nervous because she has too much money. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes her desire for money and her willingness to run towards it.

In the second verse, Amaarae discusses how her success has led others to be envious of her, mentioning that the thought of her spending money gives them goosebumps. She also alludes to a past relationship where she thought she had found someone special (“My heart I was makin’ a home / Angel in light ’til she grew horns / Bu-like-gatti she was two-toned”), but ultimately, it didn’t work out. She ends the verse questioning if this is the life she is owed.

The lyrics also touch on themes of betrayal and disappointment in relationships.

This new single is just the beginning for Amaarae, as she has announced her upcoming album ‘Fountain Baby’. The album is set to be released soon, and it promises to be a remarkable project that showcases the singer’s versatility and creativity.

Amaarae’s previous work includes the 2020 album ‘The Angel You Don’t Know’, which features hit tracks like ‘SAD GIRLZ LUV MONEY’ and ‘LEAVE ME ALONE’. She has also released singles like ‘LIKE IT’ and ‘SPEND SOME TIME’.
