In her latest single, "comfortable," aimate navigates the treacherous waters of emotional infidelity and the unsettling comfort zones that can deceptively erode relationships. Drawing from the rich emotional vein of her own experiences, the song delves into the complexities of a love that has grown too familiar, too complacent, and the heartache that accompanies when attention is sought elsewhere. With relatable themes and poignant lyrics, "comfortable" promises to resonate deeply with anyone who has ever grappled with the difficult questions posed by long-term relationships. As aimate herself puts it, this is a track that almost didn't see the light of day because of its vulnerability, but its release has revealed a shared human experience and provided a comforting sense of solidarity.
The production of "comfortable" is a meticulous blend of haunting synths, soulful vocals, and evocative soundscapes that make it a quintessential sad girl anthem for the R&B genre. The initial idea for the song took root at home, where aimate felt as if the melody and lyrics surfaced from deep within her, almost as if the song had pre-existed in her subconscious. This raw and immediate creation was later polished and perfected at Platoon in Tileyard with the expertise of up-and-coming producer Anny. Together, they crafted a sonic environment that mirrors the song's emotional depth: the synths are tear-jerking, the vocals are stunningly emotive, and the overall composition invites listeners into a reflective space where they can truly absorb and ponder the lyrics.
Hailing originally from Portsmouth and now residing in Folkestone, Kent, aimate is a singer and keyboard player whose musical journey has been as diverse as it is impressive. After years of performing and writing for other artists, including notable gigs with 90's Britpop legends Sleeper and providing backing vocals for indie/folk artist Morning Tourist and social media pop star Rachel Grae, aimate has carved a unique niche for herself. Her sound, influenced by artists like Nao, Mahalia, Hailey Knox, and Sinead Harnett, is a blend of R&B and indie-pop that stands out for its authenticity and emotional transparency. Despite battling anxiety and fear, she has built a community of support that has encouraged her to continue sharing her art. Her first single, "please," garnered attention on local BBC stations, and with "comfortable," she continues to cement her place as a voice worth paying attention to in the industry.
