UMOYA
Sometimes, words are not needed. Sometimes, a melody can say what words cannot.
"Umoya" is a journey through sound, spirit, and movement. It is an instrumental piece where emotion speaks through every note. With this track, Amar Soulami continues his musical journey, drawing inspiration from the rich energy and spirit of African inspired sounds and shaping them through a modern Amapiano lens.
The title "Umoya" carries a sense of "spirit" or "breath" in Southern African languages. It reflects the essence of the track, something alive and flowing, like a breath carried by rhythm, rising and moving freely.
At its heart, beautiful and expressive piano melodies create a space for emotion to unfold. Gradually, uplifting strings enter the picture, expanding the sound and bringing warmth, light, and a sense of possibility. Rhythm and melody move together, creating an atmosphere that feels both grounded and free.
There are no lyrics to tell the listener what to feel. Instead, "Umoya" leaves room for imagination, for memories, emotions, and moments of quiet reflection. Each listener can find their own meaning within the music.
"Umoya" out now on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon Music, SoundCloud, and all major platforms.
MY HEART IS NOT HERE
Following the emotional release of "Still Yours," Amar Soulami returns with his new single, "My Heart Is Not Here," the next chapter in an ongoing musical journey.
Blending the hypnotic grooves of amapiano, the warmth of soulful house, and delicate flamenco-inspired textures, "My Heart Is Not Here" creates an immersive soundscape where rhythm meets emotion.
The song explores the feeling of being physically present while emotionally disconnected—a quiet search for identity, belonging, and the place where the soul finally feels at home. Its lyrics reflect the inner conflict of moving through life wearing a smile while carrying the weight of uncertainty, asking a universal question: Where do we truly belong?
More than a dance track, "My Heart Is Not Here" is a deeply personal story wrapped in uplifting rhythms and atmospheric production. It captures the tension between movement and stillness, between wandering and finding peace, reminding listeners that even in moments of feeling lost, they are never truly alone.
"My Heart Is Not Here" out now on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon Music, SoundCloud, and all major platforms.
STILL YOURS
"Still Yours" is Amar Soulami's second single, following the debut release "Sister."
Some loves never leave you, even when you let go. "Still Yours" is a song about carrying someone's light long after life has taken you in different directions. Not bitterness. Not closure. Just the quiet truth of a love that stays.
Built on amapiano's warm log drum rhythms, deep bass, and soulful atmosphere, the track moves through loss, longing, and a hard won kind of peace, arriving at an outro that burns slow and stays with you.
A natural fit for deep, soulful, and late night amapiano and Afrobeats playlists.
"Still Yours" out now on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon Music, SoundCloud, and all major platforms.
SISTER
Some songs don't start in the studio. They start in the silence after someone is gone.
"Sister" is Amar Soulami's debut single — a deeply personal meditation on sisterhood, grief, and the love that outlasts loss. Moving through childhood memories, laughter-soaked wedding speeches, and travel plans that never happened, the song traces what it means to lose the person who felt like the other half of yourself.
Built on amapiano's warm log drum and deep bassline, the sound holds the emotion without overwhelming it — intimate, unhurried, and honest.
A powerful and tender introduction to an artist with something real to say.
"Sister" out now on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon Music, SoundCloud, and all major platforms.
