Ariel – Criminal [Single]

British-Nigerian neo-soul artist Ariel (Adebola) recently graced the music scene with her single “Criminal,” a refined and tuneful treasure that combines her rich, soothing vocals with a heartfelt narrative. Possessing a voice that’s velvety and serene, Ariel‘s performance is reminiscent of early Jill Scott as she conveys her sincere lyrics. The tune has Ariel singing to someone who is in search of comfort and peace while grappling with life’s letdowns and deceptions. The chorus invites the listener to let go of their past, find refuge in the arms of a supportive figure, and find a sense of calm. The lush, orchestral arrangement, coupled with jazzy undertones, lends an air of sophistication to the song’s sweetly moving atmosphere.

The young singer’s insightful nature, far exceeding her years, is apparent in this soulful creation, as she stitches together a relaxed space that engages the listener and uplifts their spirit. With its poignant writing, melodic charm, and reverent nature, “Criminal” emerges as a noteworthy piece that goes a long way to cement Ariel‘s standing in the neo-soul realm.
