ImaniCarolyn - Water (Single)
Since luring us in with her debut EP “Imani” back in September, we instantly became fans of Imani Carolyn's content. Her project has since been a favorable release among R&B listeners who hoped to continue rooting for her while receiving another release before the end of the year is up. As luck would have it, Imani had announced on Instagram that a new single titled “Water” would be surfacing in the second week of December. The news was shared alongside a preview of the record that instantly held my attention, where once 11 pm central hit yesterday night, I muted the Kanye & Drake performance so I could be fully immersed into this euphonious record.
Give her 6 feet to think about how deep you're making things. She wants to be free from you, separated from it all, to keep her mind clear. Peace and tranquillity are all she needs right now; she’s having to deal with your bullshit of speaking how you didn’t mean to do the things you did, but she’s not here for the excuses. She’s got the proof to show your deceitful ways, and yet you keep trying to fix what’s already broken. Something has to be in the water for you to think that she forgives you & that things can go back to the way they were, but you destroyed that already. Imani sings with passionate rage and frustration on how she wants him out of her head so she can then begin anew. Beg all your want; she’s not coming back, she let you go easy, and don’t let her regret that decision. It could be so much worse, and deep in the back of her mind, she wants it to go that way so she can give you a taste of what she had to experience, but she just wants to quit you for good. Imani Carolyn sings her soul out to the world that fits nicely on this Meezyrelli production to provide another heartfelt joint from her to cherish with open ears and a heartbeat.
I’m very impressed with ImaniCaroyln; I did not know during our encounter in her music that she was family with SZA, which was an interesting fact. Her talent no way mimics the sound SZA does, which I know sometimes having someone close to you like that can cast a shadow over you, but no need to fret since Imani has completed her accomplishments independently. She is making a wave with her own content where one day her shadow will cover over the crowd, and when it happens without any assistance, the feeling will be extraordinary. There is so much creativity in her craft that she is already expressing momentum moments in her music, so if you still aren’t familiar with ImaniCarolyn, then you need to start now by checking out her latest single here and sharing it on all social media avenues.
