Akeem Loves You's new single, "Like Angels," featuring Olive's hypnotic vocals, is a message, a mantra, and a soul reflection. A genre-bending mash-up of conscious hip-hop, rap, and pop, "Like Angels" stings with an emotional charge the more you play it. The production is crisp and considered, establishing a mellow but intentional vibe that never outshines the lyrics. Instead, it allows and gives space to let every single word hit and every truth echo.
Akeem takes us into his world of private suffering, material delusions, and straightened vision. He tells the hard truth about the path from chasing cheap highs to discovering that happiness isn't for sale. It has to be earned, located, and experienced. The verses are streaked with hard-won lessons, and the weight of the struggle never obscures the battle's beauty. Olive's turn lifts the song even higher. Per the song lyrics, Olive's voice strikes a fragile balance between the strength and gentleness of an angel's wings. Akeem and Olive are a spellbinding pairing of grit, grace, pain, and hope.
Akeem is reaching out to others still in the middle of theirs. This song feels like a silent anthem to anyone who's gone to war with their own darkness and won by somehow carrying light. The kind that whispers, you're not alone, and your scars mean you've survived. It's music that transcends and is a movement in melody. It reminds us that we're still called to rise, to reflect and radiate love just "Like Angels." With this release, Akeem Loves You is not just releasing a song. He offers a hand to hold.
