“Pleasure” sees Amal Marie speaking truths about love and identity, served up with a side of pure soul music that resonates. The track lays out a straightforward question about what kind of love we’re all after – the kind that sticks around or the kind that just messes with our heads. It feels like Amal’s asking us directly to examine our own hearts and reconsider our own experiences.
When it comes to Amal’s singing, her voice has this easy-going, yet totally confident quality that pulls you into the song. Lines like “Need a friend, just call on me/A-M-A-L-M-A-R-I-E,” don’t just sound nice; they feel like a solid promise, something real and tangible in the often-confusing game of love.
The video that goes along with the song is an absolute beautiful addition, showing Amal unwinding in nature, soaking up the sun by a lake, and just being herself in a way that’s both down-to-earth and inspiring. It feels as though she’s saying, “Take me as I am, or don’t take me at all,” but in the most chill way possible. This visual side of things perfectly lines up with the song’s vibe of self-discovery and being cool with who you are.
For anyone who digs the sounds and soulfulness of artists like Jamila Woods and Sampha, Amal Marie’s “Pleasure” is going to hit the mark. It’s a song that doesn’t just skim the surface but gets you thinking about love, life, and everything in between, all while taking you to a place where every note and word feels like a peek into the singer’s heart.
