A!MS is at it again, this time enlisting the help of UK rap's golden boy ArrDee for another sun-soaked smash that is bound to be the sound of the summer nights and rooftop moments to come. "Need Somebody" is not just a disco banger; it's a blend of global rhythms, infectious energy, and heartwarming escapism that you can't help but get caught up in. At the same time, it's fresh and distinct, plucked from some other world that's just been born.
"Need Somebody" is one for that sweet spot between instant-grin Afrobeats grooves and raw UK rap charisma. A!MS and their steady melodic hooks invite the listener into a horn player's abode of warmth and motion. Next up, ArrDee swoops in, bringing a rapid-fire swagger that rivals the track's energy with breezy charm. They have electric chemistry; it's not a fok on them, but a true collaboration of what works best.
Written by Stige and produced by Columbia's Golden Boy, the track is a melting pot of culture. Once the beat thuds in the first few seconds, you're transported to a beach in Lagos, to a dancefloor in London. But beneath that party-ready vibe is something serious. "Need resonates with speaks to that collective human yearning for connection, a sense of safety, and identity. It's not one of those kind of uplifting, positive stories that then preachy and look what I can be, it's bold without being arrogant."
"Need Somebody" is another preview of A!MS's forthcoming album, "Peakwhich Season." If this is a sign of what's to come, and if quality like this is a hint of what's to come, the album will truly live up to its name. What happens when potential meets global vision and fearless genre-hopping? An all-purpose radio and beach-party speaker, this song has legs and is ready to run all summer. For feel-good fusion, international flavor, and rap with heart, A!MS and ArrDee have delivered your summer banger right there.
