He flows with a hunger…

Chike’s vocal performance is crystal clear, dripping with the kind of earnestness that has made…

The track sits at the intersection of R&B and Afro-fusion, but the structure is unconventional, relying heavily on vocal layering rather than a heavy drum beat to drive the emotion.The song explores the fragility of trust and the clarity of purpose in a relationship. FAVE’s delivery is “soul-baring,” stripping away the…
