Speaking about the inspiration behind her Love Games EP, Indie Amoi says, “Love is a cycle, but when you find the right man, wul arn pon him tight. In other words, while love can often be a cycle filled with challenges and complexities, when you stumble upon the right kind of love or the perfect partner, it’s crucial to cling to it. I’ve always believed in cherishing and fostering that profound bond. Through all of love’s highs and lows, securing a genuine connection can be the anchor that brings stability and joy to our lives. This is the essence that courses through my EP, reflecting on the myriad faces of love and the importance of discovering the right soul to embark on that journey with”.
As for the dancehall soundscapes that drive the EP, Indie Amoi adds that, “Growing up immersed in dancehall music and culture undeniably have shaped my musical palette and lyrical themes. My life between Kingston and London, as well as my travels through other corners of the world have undoubtedly enriched my music, and this unique fusion, rooted in my life experiences and Jamaican heritage, offers my listeners an earnest reflection of my life, love, and everything in between. It’s paramount for me to remain anchored to my roots, even as my music evolves, giving depth to my tracks and hopefully touching the hearts of those who tune in”.
