When I first heard the song or rather happen to hear a peep of it from my neighbour, I knew I would get addicted and as such, I avoided the song. I refused to download it. That is my fight or flight response. I avoid attachment because they make me...mushy.
Anyway, I held on for only three months after the song's release and began to listen to it after downloading - night and day. Rema is an unusual artist to me. He has this unique ability to transfer emotional energy into his music be it a high or slow tempo.
When Rema sings Afro dance, you dance. And you don't just dance, you move to the story of his music. When he gives a love song, you are transported to another dimension as well. I don't know if it happens to others, but it happens a lot with me.
Rema has not just the gift of good music but a hypnotic voice. You can't just help but pay attention. The way he rolls his speech around musical instruments is noteworthy. One time, I thought he'd make a fortune as a snake charmer of some sort. He's that good.
What about Charm has so much...charm? Could it be the lyrics? Or is it mainly the music? I don't know. But the soft intro
lulls you into a state of calm...like weed (according to a friend) and then thrusts you into bursts of flavours. His lyrics are kind of self explanatory and well, I'm a girl. No matter what, I am still drawn to things that bounce on my emotions.
Rather than sing Rema's lyrics all through, I added a bit of mine. I got inspired by a book I read. She saw him. She liked him. She got him. He was not easy to conquer but the dark lives and breed.
I hope you like this.
Instrumental was gotten from Tubidy and tuned with the moises app
