On her new single, "SEE SUM," featuring Gachi, Cookiie steps fully into the spotlight, bringing a presence that is not only earned but also invigorating. Powered by the hit-prone sounds of Afrobeats and laced with influences from Afro-pop, Afro-fusion, and UK hip-hop/rap, this track is a statement announcing the singer's undeniable presence, decisive, confident, and unapologetic.
The rhythm is strong and steady, yet flowing, so that you will feel empowered to move while Cookiie conveys her message about self-value. The deeper collaboration comes via Gachi's animated charisma, uniting two vocalists whose words hear rhythm as movement, attitude, and identity more clearly than something abstract like sound.
Born on the South Coast of England and inspired by the timeless sounds of The S.O.S. Band, Marvin Gaye, Prince, and The Beatles, Cookiie's is a craft shaped by visionaries who put as much importance on aesthetics as they did on purpose. "SEE SUM" clears its own lane, just like the serial entrepreneur and luxury hat designer. Every bar and beat is intentionally tailored, just like Cookiie's style, which prioritizes bold elegance, rooted in self-realization. "SEE SUM" is a statement of being from an artist who clearly understands the aesthetics and sounds. Cookiie is holding out on empowerment and asking us to do the same.
