Amakathesiren – Want Me Too [Single]

In “Want Me Too,” Amakathesiren, or Valerie Nwamaka Aguiyi as she’s known offstage, sinks into the real issues that impacts how we feel inside. Her tune isn’t just about wanting someone; it’s about wanting to be truly seen and valued, laying it all out there with a mix of guts and grace.

This bittersweet torch song throws us into the thick of Amaka‘s struggle with being close to someone who’s not all in, emotionally. She nails it with, “I know you love the way I feel, But I’mma need more than that,” a line that’s both raw and real. It’s sincere about craving a deeper bond, being recognized for who you are. Her voice gracefully muddles fragility and force while delivering a plea for meaningful affection.

Musically, the track nails it too, twisting together moods that swing from heavyhearted to hopeful – mirroring life’s own ups and downs. The beat and instruments don’t just back her up; they’re part of the story, setting the stage for those moments when you’re wrestling with your feelings. The kick-drum’s palpable heartbeat, the snare’s crisp punctuation, and the strings’ climactic swell together create a soundscape that mirrors the emotional murkiness Amakathesiren conveys.

“Want Me Too” isn’t just another love song. It’s a powerful shout-out to the need for real, down-to-earth connection, making sure that when someone’s with you, they’re truly with you—all in, no holding back.
