Amaru – Champagne Attitude (Rap-Titude Mix)
Amaru offers a powerful take on what ruins a relationship on the powerful “Champagne Attitude (Rap-Titude Mix). With a fierce flow and flawless lyricism, the song has a great level of honesty resting at the very center of it all. Everything works from the electro-grime of the groove to the slight nod to hip-hop that helps to anchor the whole thing. Emotionally charged the way the piece unfurls reveals the loss of trust, of how a person can betray another and the hurt such a thing can cause. Yet there is a bit of hope too, of knowing when to break it up, to move on to find someone new, to find optimism amongst so much pessimism.
Not a moment is wasted as the groove starts up immediately. With that bouncing beat the entirety of the track simply propels forward. Clever wordplay is the track’s very DNA from which all else stems. The bass has a physicality to it, almost all-consuming in scope. Featuring a unique sense of swagger Amaru focuses on how to find one’s own path, of tapping into an inner feeling of maturity. Looking at cheating can be a hard thing to do since it has such negative imagery. Yet the way Amaru frames it is from a different perspective, a cathartic one. By rising above the lack of maturity and dishonesty, he looks towards a path forward.
On “Champagne Attitude (Rap-Titude Mix)” Amaru crafts a clear-eyed look at what brings relationships down.
