Mariama Whyte is a phenomenally gifted artist who nurtures her creative thirst in mellow and soulful R&B and soul music. She brings forth bluntly honest lyrics when it comes to sharing the most vulnerable and fragile parts of herself. Her rich, raw, and distinctive form of vocal delivery evokes a strong yearning for genuine human connections. Inspired by both new and old musical icons alike, her authentic storytelling and personal narration are centered around themes such as love, heartbreak, insecurities, and negotiating self-respect in toxic relationships. Her uniquely soulful universe, mixed with bittersweet melancholy like sounds reminiscent of Mariah Carey, gives listeners cathartic listening experiences bound to remain stuck in their hearts forever.
Mariama is currently making headlines with her new emotional, soulful, and intimate track dubbed “What If I Fall In Love Witchu”- a blissful concoction of R&B and soul guaranteed to resonate deeply with a listener’s heart and soul.
Untouched by production, Mariama’s voice is as real, raw, and rare as it gets—so rich, powerful, soulful, and gentle over the stripped-back, mellow, yet powerful production to get you heavily invested in the song from the first note.
The lyrics explore an all too familiar feeling or emotion where sometimes we harbor doubt and/or fear, remaining skeptical of the true intentions of another person, especially when it comes to matters of love and relationships.
This is the kind of situation where you want to enter into a relationship but remain cynical just because you are afraid of getting hurt…you know when you end up falling in love, but you can’t help but wonder whether the other person will feel the same way about you.
Her emotive and pure delivery underlines the weight of the lyrics; the accompanying lyric video allows a listener to be part of the music as you sing along to the easily quotable lyrics and that catchy chorus that takes up residence in your mind and refuses to let go even after the song ends.
This is an authentic and deeply relatable raw masterpiece backed by such a captivating vocal performance from an artist with a knack for storytelling and the ideal voice for the genre.
