Good vibes in strong supply, as Sonya gore celebrates the beauty and optimism of today, with the uplifting new afrobeat single I Am.
Backed by a colourful tropical arrangement of warming bass, gentle keys and catchy rhythms, I Am sees Sonya gore and the humble support of a select few backing vocals delve into a real-time performance of embracing the affirmation that “Today will be a good day.” The song rolls through this progression twice to get that earworm effect, before modestly redirecting things for a twist of creative flair.
Less than two minutes in full, I Am is short and sweet in its addictive positivity and joy. The later section brings a spoken segment for a dance routine akin to the likes of Cha Cha Slide, only much less intrusive, before we fall into the catchy groove of the full soundtrack – and proceed into a simple, beat-free guitar outro, which wraps things up beautifully.
A simple yet effective song that rightfully pays tribute to the power of positive affirmations, I Am is an original afrobeat single with a memorable bounce and a hopeful glow that’s a pleasure to connect with. Easily worth a stream or two this season.
