Issa vibe, but it’s largely the same vibe. Unfortunately, the rest of this set doesn’t deviate from that trap drum and synth blueprint to the point where songs start to sound alike albeit with slight variations. It’s a relatable head-nodder that sets a sexy, cool mood. The opening track “Curious” finds Amerie questioning a lover about just what they are and wanting to put a definition on it over trap drums and dark synths. While the city sleeps, she has a lot on her mind in the middle of the night. Nowhere is that more apparent than on 4AM Mulholland.īorrowing its name from Mulholland Drive, a stretch of road in Southern California, Amerie is in the driver’s seat for a late-night excursion. The bad news is that the whole collection features a number of songs that sound far too similar.
With a total of 13 tracks – seven on the first EP and six on the second – this is the most Amerie we’ve gotten at one time in almost a decade. The combination of the 4AM Mulholland and After 4AM EPs represents her first new “album” in almost a decade, however. Amerie hasn’t left us wanting for new tunes. She even released her refix of Swae Lee‘s “Guatemala” a few months ago. The Georgetown University grad released a sporadic stream of songs during that time, with one-off singles here and there, including among them bangers such as 2014’s “What I Want” and 2017’s “Redrum,” and the highly enjoyable EP Drive in 2016. Make no mistake, though, she never left music behind. She got married, wrote a few novels, edited an anthology, started a lifestyle channel on YouTube and just a few months ago she gave birth to her first child.
In the nine years since the release of her fourth studio album In Love & War, Amerie has been busy living her best life.
