![](https://honkmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/prod_track-files_922573_extra_pictures_Majeeed_1.jpeg)
Majeeed’s new song, WILL I? is about love and all the questions that come with it. Using afropop, dancehall, amapiano music styles, Majeeed creates an excellent new and familiar sound.
WILL I? delves into the universal theme of love and uncertainty that we all can relate to. Majeeed’s lyrics capture the worries about whether love will be returned, if the timing is right, and if it will be what we hope for. Instead of getting lost in these worries, the song embraces them, turning them into a rhythmic dance that invites you to move through the emotions.
The mix of afropop, dancehall, and amapiano seamlessly shows Majeeed’s ability to switch between different styles. The afropop beats make you want to tap your feet, Majeeed’s dancehall vibes bring in a bit of island flavor, and the amapiano elements add a deep, rhythmic feel to the song.
