The Eiffel Tower isn’t the most romantic thing in France anymore. Enter “Willis Woka”—who, despite having no steel beams or panoramic views, taps into a melancholy that feels just as monumental. His latest single, “AIME MOI,” is where pop and R&B meet under a rain-soaked umbrella, drawing us into his world where declarations of love seem to echo off invisible walls.
But this isn’t your typical heart-on-sleeve confession. No, it’s a slow-burn conversation, whispered between late-night breaths and text messages you hesitate to send. The rhythm pulses gently, like a heartbeat unsure if it should accelerate or slow down. Woka lingers in that in-between—the space where emotions are raw, yet somehow delicately contained. Like we’re seeing love unravel in slow motion but with the grace of an old French film. And man, he doesn’t even need subtitles.
“AIME MOI” teeters between desperation and vulnerability, as though Woka himself is caught red-handed after stealing his own heart. There’s a bit of hunger here, but of the soft kind, like the kind that makes you crave croissants at 2 am after reading a love letter—the message being clear: I want you, but do you even know how much?
What sets this track apart, though, is its unique pop-R&B blend. There’s a thrum to it—something urban yet deliberately blurred at the edges, leaning away from the club and into the introspective alleyways where emotions get tricky. Honestly, it’s a sound that leaves you feeling like you’re standing in the middle of a metro platform—waiting for a train, not totally sure if it’s going to take you somewhere better.
Woka has dropped a reflection pool with “AIME MOI”—look into it long enough, and you’re bound to discover something about yourself. Or maybe it’s just a great song for when you’re wondering whether or not to call someone back. Either way, though, I hope to hear from Willis Woka again soon.
Romantic? Sure. Forgettable? Not a chance.
