Maeesha b's debut EP 'if only u knew' opens with 'PROVE IT', a light and bouncy introduction to the project. The dance between kick drums and warm plucks settles in beneath a melodic vocal performance. Next up, the title track, featuring Look A Like, Maeesha portrays someone lost in the rose-tint of romance, Look A Like's verse echoing these feelings of devotion and sleek flows.
The modern nostalgia of pop princess and rap star duet is then moved to the thick R&B of 'CALL ME', the sense of luxury palatable as the sonics hit your ears. 'BACK IT UP' hits next with high-energy glamour and glitter, pounding kicks and upbeat performance pushed forward with heavy 808s. 'DON'T DELAY' returns to the Afro-beat grooves before 'COMPLETE' wraps the project with more airy and dreamlike R&B.
