Amahla explores the messiness of love on new drop ‘Sticky’
Amahla is leaning into the complicated side of desire. The Hackney-raised singer-songwriter returns with ‘Sticky’, an emotionally vulnerable new single that explores the irresistible pull of a relationship that you know you should probably leave, but simply cannot.
Produced by WAVSDNTDIE, the track captures the push and pull between love, lust and letting go, with Amahla approaching the subject with a refreshing honesty. Rather than romanticising the messiness that comes with complicated relationships, she embraces it, allowing the contradictions of attraction and emotional attachment to sit at the heart of the record.
Sonically, ‘Sticky’ manages to be just as inviting on the dancefloor as it is in your headphones. An infectious bassline provides the foundation, while playful lyrics and mesmerising melodies give the track a lightness that contrasts with the emotional conflict at its core.
That balance is where Amahla really comes into her own. Her jazz influences remain firmly embedded in the record, but they are channelled through a contemporary production that gives ‘Sticky’ an effortless sense of movement.
