Multi-Hyphenate Actor, Recording Artist, and Filmmaker Amir Royale Drops Seductive Single “Pruane” (feat. Lulu Kirtchuk and Devereaux)
From Amir Royale I’ve tasted toxicity. I’ve lusted after romance in a way that may have been unhealthy for a couple of years. I’ve misunderstood cues during intimacy before but have also had partners not reciprocate my passion or attention to detail. “Pruane” is about being in that center space between ‘DTF buddies’ and ‘soulmates.’ That unspoken sense of attachment intertwined with the minutiae of apathy. Somewhere smack in the middle of possessive and protective, sexual and sensual, in-love and out of it. We search for the love we think we deserve – and the people that are right for us; we often overlook or undervalue them. Maybe one day I’ll finally start getting all this stuff right. ‘Til then, I’m content sitting still. Walk good, take care. 🌺❤️‍🩹🌺

Why "Bad Dreams" by Cannons is a relationship closure song
The thing about music is that you choose what you take away from it. I've talked about Cannons before and how they impacted the music scene to make a name for themselves through the pandemic. Fire For You is a great tune about how drained you feel putting your energy into someone who wouldn't do the same. Hurricane is a fantastic anthem about making a comeback, but Bad Dreams doesn't get enough credit for how it's a softer and stronger song than the rest.
