Okay, you guys have to hear this song I just discovered called “Die For Love.”
It’s by this Nigerian musician named STALKAR. I heard it for the first time yesterday and was just blown away. I had to talk about it here!
Who is STALKAR?
Stalkar is a fast-rising Nigerian artiste & songwriter. His genre of music is Afro-fusion and he is a very versatile artiste that has touched on multiple genres of music but loves to infuse the Afrobeats sound into all his music.
What we do know is that he makes very good music, moody music. It’s like a blend of Afrobeats, pop, R&B vibes. His songs always seem to explore, about a lot of things.
This new song “Die For Love” is his most popular yet. It really shows how he’s evolved as an artist.
The Lyrics Cut Deep
Okay, the lyrics of “Die For Love” are just so powerful. They instantly pulled me in. STALKAR sings about being willing to sacrifice for love but it has a limit as he can’t die for love. Lines like “I would never die for your love” sum up the intense theme. He sings about not throwing away all he has just to be with someone who doesn’t love him, as he seeks for a reciprocating love.
Some of the lines that hit me hard are:
- “I just wanna know your mind, tell me girl”
- “So many people die for love, can’t you see”
- “But i will never die for love, am for real”
Listening to the words creates this desperate, haunting vibe. You really feel STALKAR’s raw devotion.
The Melody Sucks You In
The melody stands out too. It’s very stripped back and melancholy. Kind of sad but beautiful.
STALKAR uses hazy synths and sparse drums to create this chilling atmosphere. His smooth voice glides above it all.
They kept the instrumentation minimal to let his vocals shine. This makes you tune into the lyrics even more.
Even though it’s a low-key vibe, the melody still pulls you in. It creates this dark musical world that complements the lyrics.
