Ugh shes SERVING; femininity, masculinity, sensuality, divinity, emotion, RAW TALENT! And I clicked by accident lmao.
It’s magical.
Jason Williams Femininity and masculinity at the same damn time were my exact thoughts!
Jason Williams I clicked on accident too😭
She is both :)
I had my phone in my pocket and I accidentally left it unlocked and and it scrolled down and pressed on it
She is going to be MAJOR.. raw-beautiful voice, PURE talent.

Very true... This is beautiful music
MASSHENDRIX ❤
You know mainstream don't like real music :(
MASSHENDRIX love this ruclips.net/video/3hYdbIL8Z2I/видео.html
Sometimes a musician is so good that you somehow magically have confidence in yourself after listening to their tracks.
Well said
Yeah girl, true 💯
I think it’s the dopamine releasing
Got my 5 year old boy where he loves this shit. He’s a vibe himself when it comes to music. Raisin em right
Wow thank you for saying that, it helped with my confidence like yeah that’s right we should be confident in ourselves. 🦋✨💖🌈💚🙏💙🧚♀️🧚♂️🔥🔥🔥🦅✨
4 years on and I'm still using this as style inspo. Timeless.
The voice of an angel! The hair, the profile, the style, the voice, the aesthetic, the lips, eyes, skin, omg she’s perfect 😩😩😩😍😍😍
You speaking nothing but facts
Sorry she is indeed a beautiful woman but nobody's perfect
That moment when the music is so good you didn't realize it was 13 minutes long...
The longest song ever
Otto Seury it’s 3 songs actually
Letoya lucket also has things like that... little short movies
I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE EITHER UNTIL I READ THIS LMAO
It just seemed like 5 mins 😭I'm scared
the cracks in her voice pluck a string in my heart that hasn't been touched in a minute.
thats poetic
I always come back to this at least once a month, I can't quite describe the feeling it gives me but she hits a part of my soul that just hmmmm idk makes me hold my breath in some inexplicable way, it's almost orgasmic. It's like damn never knew a song could make me feel this way, hats off to her and the people that helped create this beautiful piece of art.
Thanks ❤️ I love you a lot ❤️❤️❤️❤️
i agree it touches a point in my soul that I never know how to describe it.
I regularly come to replay these tracks. Sometimes I cry, or sing at the top of my lungs with Ama. Her words are so deep & carnal in nature, they touch the very fibers of my being & transport me right back to those primary emotions at my core, where there is no hiding or shame or anyone else but me & those vibes, reverberating from my loud speaker 🔊.
yess!! go to her new song!!!
i get it. i think it's also due to her energy.....
Her voice is so vibrant and different. Definitely bumping to this all summer. Plus, loved the cinematography.
SZA
I love her taste in fashion
Why she so smooth wit it doe
Pure artistry. She lets the gods direct her flows... masterpiece trilogy
Her flow is as smooth as butter 😻
You have no idea what "flow" is 😏
Facts.....
OG Kusherton Flow isnt just in rap music...
@@bust14u21 You have no idea what you're talking about
@@lufefepanya62 this is low key trash... #facts
Did I really sit here and watch a whole13:06 minute video of pure beauty? I did. I sure did.
Same here, you are not alone ;)
Ciara R. LMFAOOOO didn’t even realize it was that long till I saw this comment .. it’s just so intriguing I don’t even mind 😂
Swearrrrrrr this is like my 3rd time watching it today
Repeatedly too.... especially at 2:10. Ayyyyyye....
you inspire me to leave everyone and just do myself and be ok with myself. so much strenght. thank you
lupe yes I just realised this
Do it
Detatchment
Maa Shaa'a Allah yes
Age of aquar1us, time to free youRself. 💭💜🙏
Explore yourself in ways you wouldnt exactly the same when you are even a year older. Lolz, I really tried to formulate that previous senteNce!! Dye your hair a certain 'crazy' socially scolded wild color, eat your favorite food, teach yourself how to make it...LIVE!!! I am telling you, as a 21yr old diagnosed schizophrenic, free your soul. 🎶🎶🎵💜
Why is nobody talking about the genius lyrics? Its like going with her through all stages of grief. It touches me every time i listen to this masterpiece, every time from a different perspective. Wish you all the Best Ama Lou
Yeah she's a superstar, what a woman
The lyrics aren’t very clear imo… the visuals and catchiness of the rhythm save it. Most of us can’t hear what’s she is saying at all.
I can picture an 8th grader bumping this after being told she's moving to another state right before freshman year. She would bump this hard, and it would define her entire teenage years.
This is easy to picture for me because this did happen to me. I would’ve bumped this.
bruh i’m a sophomore and that’s happening to me in a month. i felt this so hard.
i can relate sm cause i moved to america from england this year :(
gloriapescaru idk if you’ll see this but plz tell me what it’s like. I go to a British school and have always wondered hope it’s treating you well 💗
All military children can relate lmao
I've never been so inspired and motivated in my life.
omg same
She’s definitely going to blow up like Sza or H.E.R
As an artist, sometimes you dream about the perfect music video. This is exactly this one.
Thanks so much ❤️ I love you a lot thanks ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@nohdrickjamiewesley4619why are you thanking him
if Sade had her own label this is the up and coming talent you would see FR.......
Devon the man yes!! I thought the same thing like 2 mins in listening to this
I bet no one else knows who your talking abt she a legend
Everybody should know about Sade.
she has this amazing wild and prehistoric beauty to her,kind of like she could represent humanity.she's beautiful,a mix of freida khalo and black beauty at it's finest.
Black Beauty? As in the horse?
sacred sister what???yes,a mix of frieda khalo and a HORSE lol.how did you even come up whith that lololol!no,just black beauty as in when black women are beautiful,they've got that extra something.but then maybe you're being sarcastic or something,this might end up in a fight for a change lol
I'm literally a black woman and have never seen someone write it like that, I found it very weird to read and wanted clarification. Be mad if you want, I literally see people write awkward things about Black women daily, especially people who aren't black women themselves tend to write very weird stuff.
sacred sister i'm not mad at all!what??well,anybody who could come up whith comparing black people to a horse is really messed up.but yeah,i guessed you were black and might be reading some pretty messed up stuff on this shameless world of youtube.you'd never seen someone "write it like that".i left the states 20 years ago and am back in my native france,so maybe my english and sentence structures aren't too good anymore but if i had wanted to mention a character,i would have added quotation marks.but no,i'm not mad (we french people don't take everything so seriously)and i don't even know who or what black beauty "the horse" is lol.but i can imagine a mix of khalo and a horse:basically a hooved creature whith a unibrow and a taste for the arts.let's just enjoy this song and appreciate how beautiful she is!bisous de france ma chérie!
@Flora Nogales I totally agree with you. I'm currently obsessed with her beauty and artistic work
I am, In utter awe.
Sara K ❤
Hmm it could be better

Y'all gay. Jk 🤭

THANK YOU

She's gonna blow up damn. Such a talented woman
Silvia Minosa unfortunately she may be too talented and original to make in this industry. Hopefully shell at least get a nice buzz and be an underground sensation.
Pure art! Like she’s really just being herself👏🏾👏🏾
I've been trying to find new artists for a few weeks, and through doing that; RUclips actually recommended something good.
My eyes and ears are definitely much happier 🍀🙏

Trust me its great
Awkward. Unique. Smooth. Beautiful. Seamless. I loved it.
one of my favorite music videos of all time
This girl is so amazing and so underrated, hope she gets the recognition she deserves.
I just found her and I'm SHOCKED that she's not the most famous pop star in the world. She seriously beats everyone else by far. Real and versatile talent. Simply amazing.
@@Bbhjdidbsbaut gg gg gg gggggggzn
Absolutely!!!!!! ❤❤
I don’t only want to listen to music , I want to feel it , I HAVE BEEN HEARD. Im a new Fan I stan
Pretty obsessed with this whole thing. Music is dope, Visuals are sick, styling is right up my alley, direction is on point.
Me too....
Can't say it better myself
And MAN, that sky is so BLUE! From my freezing little corner of Northern Europe it seems like another world.
It truly is the visual that helps this project feel complete! Gooooood sht!
You name it~
I've been replaying this for like 3 days straight.. I'm obsessed. 😍😍
I've been replaying it for at least a few months tbh. These are my favorite songs. period.
this is my fourth month of watching this visual whenever I want to see a masterpiece.
I like this
a lot
i am seriously deeping - wondering, whilst filming - did she actually have any idea how amazingly tight these visuals would look in the end? i am so in love.
the coolest thing about this video is she knew exactly what she was doing, which, which makes it even more impressive. her little sister helped her with the visuals and directed this. check out this excerpt from an article about it on ilymag
"Now, Lou spends a lot of time living between London, where she grew up, and Los Angeles, Calif. Mahalia shot Lou’s self-directed DDD video, which stands for dawn, day, and dusk, in different desert locations in California. 'I’d written the songs and I was thinking of all these vivid, visual images. I was thinking about film. Then, I was writing down all these scenes. I had notes of these random scenes and realized they kind of flowed into each other. I’d get other ideas and realized I like triptych. I like the sequences of things. The vision of dawn, day, and dusk came to me through that.'"
So in love too 😍💋🙌🏽
I can see this project took a lot of thinking and hard work..hats of to the artist and the team! Love the concept the visuals the vocals everything just so nice and soothing.
Can't stop coming back to this track.
I think I'm in love 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Maryam ❤
Words can't even describe how phenomenal this is
I am so grateful that I clicked on this, wow....
This is so refreshing and new. It's incredible that I only discovered this artist's music now.
Congratulations lol😊hey everything in its own time....right?.. it's hard to know everything all at once lol... hopefully it came to you right when you needed it and now you're in the know... about her and if you want...you're going to enjoy so much more of her talented restorative and exquisite soul❤❤❤take care my dear😍
I feel relaxed and weird at the sametime
Idk what it is, but something tells me she is destined to be more than a singer
I was searching Exid DDD until this poped out ... And i dont regret it it's amazing
that kim v thang.19 me too 😂😂
I love her style, face, and voice so much.
I'm obsessed
I've definitely found a hidden gem. So much talent, I'm excited to listen to more.
This reminds me of Sonder...a Brent Faiyaz collaboration would be seamless. 😎😎😎
Albert Harris III you know
I caaaarre for you
I do
i was thinking the same thing !!
Yas!
I'm a poet and when I tell you this hit my soul in way I never knew existed 💯 🤧 🤗🤗
This entire thing is just full of talent and passion
Tried Up
[Verse 1]
Send it forward I got you
Pretty important I had
Will you make sure I loved it
If you would I
[Pre-Chorus]
Cuz it seems like I Could be it all
Do you trip when you hear it all
And Burnt blood when you feel it all yeah
Bridge
It could be better I wouldn't even know
Tried to call my bluff when you had your last go
And a keen 40ty did you say you'd make my last show ?
I could call but you'd get to hang up, up
[Chorus]
Tried up I’m tried up, un-try for me huh?
I’m tied up, I'm tied up, untie for me
I'm tried up, I'm tried up, un-try for me huh?
I’m tied up, I'm tied up
[Verse 2]
Keep locked unbothered
Keep it boxed I don't want it
Did they tell you I was sorry
It didn't feel right
[Pre-Chorus]
Cuz it seems like I could be it all
Do you tripp when you hear it all
And Burnt blood when you feel it all
Bridge
It could be better I wouldn't even know
Tried to call my bluff when you had your last go
And a keen 40ty did you say you'd make my last show ?
I could call but you'd get to hang up
[Chorus]
Tried up I’m tried up, un-try for me huh?
I’m tied up, I'm tied up, untie for me
I'm tried up, I'm tried up, un-try for me huh?
I’m tied up, I'm tied up
[Bridge]
Stand on your motorbike
And for the most part I don't lie
There was just crowded heights (there was just crowded)
Did you predict out there was darkened
Did you try and see it for me (cuz I)
And you had me climbing Old trees (Gimme)
Cuz the rings were older than I ever knew before
It could be better
It could it could be better
It could be better
It could it could be better
It could be better
It could it could be better
Wrong Lesson
Chorus]
Doesn't mean less when you make that sound
You Come at me best when you spread shit round
Only works well when you ponder spontaneity
There’s nothing really worse than being held as a traitor
If I wasn't true then I think I would be fake (ah)
And you'd count the time I really wouldn't wait (ah)
[Verse 1]
Why your hands are so sticky
You’re too high no you can't come with me now
It's too rushed. Yes it is that easy
But doesnt seem worth it
If the capital is co-con(spiracy )
[Pre-Chorus]
I cry your crazy
It's too crowded for me but
I lie on your lazy
Force is not the way too
[Chorus]
Doesn’t mean less when you make that sound
Come at me best when you spread shit round
Only works well when you ponder spontaneity
There’s nothing really worse than being held as a traitor
If I wasn't true then I think I would be fake (ah)
And you'd count the time I really wouldn't wait (ah)
[Verse 2]
You think I learnt the wrong lesson
But you don’t know that i'm constantly testing myself
And no I count my own blessings
But if it bothers you then i'll make it seem messy
[Pre-Chorus]
I cry your crazy
It's too crowded for me but
I lie on your lazy
Force is not the way too
[Chorus]
Doesn’t mean less when you make that sound
Come at me best when you spread shit round
Only works well when you ponder spontaneity
There’s nothing really worse than being held as a traitor
If I wasn't true then I think I would be fake (ah)
And you'd count the time I really wouldn't wait (ah)
[Bridge]
Count the times I
Breathe your own line
Cry fire while your down down
And i thought the line
Sent to bleed the time dry
I assume we’re not high
Wire
[Chorus]
I love you more but better when the sun is down
And I love you more when you ain't been around yeah
I have written about cha
I won't go that way
Even if I try
I will look to escape
Even if I hide
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
[Verse 1]
Even when I pull you round I can't replace
And I think you're harder than what I would say
How am I gonna teach me right if I won't trade
And I think that beats me right what would you say ?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Even if its cut so long I will never let your paper thin out
Even with a with a court order I will never let you bale me out
I have never really ran so strong
I have only ever ran me down
I have only just noticed that it was already written out
[Chorus]
I love you more but better when the sun is down
And I love you more when you ain't been around yeah
I've been thinking about yah
I won't go that way
Even if I try
I will try to escape
Even if I hide
Heyyahyeah
[Verse 2]
I know you tried shouting well right in my face
No reaction call me anything but my name
I have no regrets now tell me the same
Fuck being cold I just don't play that game
[Pre-Chorus 2]
How the way they aiming now
Pardon my reason for bailing out
Buy into the fish forgasey, how
Even if you really hate this sound
I have only ever ran so strong
You will never really run me out
I have only ever known this
Cuz it was already written out
[Chorus]
I love you more but better when the sun is down
And I love you more when you ain't been around yeah
I have written about ya
I won't go that way
Even if I try
I will look to escape
Even if I hide
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
[Outro]
I love you more
